The late-night comedy series will return for Season 2.
June 11, 2024
CBS announced today that After Midnight, hosted by Taylor Tomlinson, has been renewed for a second season. The news comes five months into the late-night comedy panel show's freshman run.
"Taylor is a gifted comedian who brings a unique voice, energy and plenty of rizz to late night (I learned rizz is a real word thanks to the show,)" said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. "We're excited for more of her daily smart takes about the dumbest things on the internet."
Inspired by Comedy Central's Emmy Award-winning series "@midnight," the late-night comedy series features a panel of guests from the worlds of entertainment, comedy, music and beyond. Episodes center around what set the Internet abuzz that day, with a game show feel.
Look for Season 2 of After Midnight during the 2024-2025 broadcast season.

I was a fan of the original @Midnight with Chris Hardwick so I stuck with this version hoping they would work out all the kinks before the network pulled the plug.
They did, and the show is well worth watching now. Not sure the date they retooled it, but they all start with a Taylor Tomlinson monologue instead of each comedian doing something random as an opener. It appears more natural and less scripted. It also appears that CBS has given Taylor more control to drive the funny as she sees fit.

I gave this show a chance, and it's just... not good. It feels like it wants to be a "Whose Line is it Anyway"-type improv show where the points actually matter (even if the "prizes" are jokes), but its format is just too rigid to be actually funny.
I know there's not a lot of competition for its timeslot, but even then I figured it'd be a goner.

Really? It's such a terrible show.
Taylor Tomlinson is funny. Her stand up specials are great. This show is just scripted comments to social media posts.

I like her as a stand up comedian, but this show is horrible. I don't think it sucks because of her, though. I think it sucks because she has horrible writers and, I'm guessing, it's all done by committee since we're in a new woke and ultra-political society.
I'll continue to watch her stand up, but I can't watch this show.
