Turns out it’s Taylor Tomlinson hosting After Midnight.
The comedian has scored the late-night CBS gig. She beat out X Mayo and Ricky Velez for the hosting job.
The news was announced on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, whose host will exec produce the series, launching in 2024.
Tomlinson is a rising stand-up who has released Netflix specials including Quarter-Life Crisis and Look At You.
After Midnight, which is based on Comedy Central’s @midnight, which ran between 2013 and 2017, replaces The Late Late Show with James Corden.
Jack Martin, who was the showrunner of all four seasons of @midnight, will serve as co-showrunner alongside Eric Pierce, who has exec produced series including CBS’ The Challenge: USA and The Wheel.
The duo will exec produce alongside Stephen Colbert, Carrie Byalick, president of Colbert’s Spartina Industries, Tom Purcell, an exec producer on The Late Show, Colbert’s wife Evelyn McGee Colbert and his manager James Dixon of Dixon Talent as well as Joe Farrell, Mike Farah, Whitney Hodack and Henry R. Muñoz III from Funny Or Die and Jason U. Nadler of Serious Business, who co-created @midnight, is also an executive producer.
In 2021, she started her own podcast called Sad in the City and in the same year she was placed on the Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list.
Now her second standup special, Look at You, is now streaming on Netflix.
