Stand-up comedian Taylor Tomlinson has been announced as the host of CBS’ new late-night show “After Midnight,” taking over the time slot following “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”“After Midnight” will air in the 12:37 am ET time slot, previously helmed by James Corden and “The Late Late Show,” which ended in April. Tomlinson is soon to be the only woman hosting a late-night network television show, joining a lineup that includes Colbert, NBC’s Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Kimmel at ABC. “I’ve never had a real job … I’ve been doing stand-up since I was 16, which is not a job,” she joked. “I’m 29 so if you don’t know who I am, don’t worry. The network said the show is inspired by the Comedy Central late-night series, “@midnight with Chris Hardwick,” which was canceled in 2017 after a four-year run.
