Comedian Taylor Tomlinson is back to guide viewers through the labyrinthine absurdities of the internet in another week of CBS’s “After Midnight.”
Airing at the appropriately nocturnal and surprisingly exact hour of 12:37 AM, ET/PT, the show offers a comedic take on viral trends, bizarre memes, and the general chaos that unfolds online daily.
This week’s lineup boasts a diverse roster of comedic talent, including appearances by Celeste Barber, Bob the Drag Queen, Matt Rogers, Lisa Gilroy, Chris Fleming, Oscar Montoya, Johnny Pemberton, Nichole Sakura, Matt Braunger, Justine Lupe, Jackie Tohn, Timothy Simons, Andy Richter, Thomas Lennon, and Aparna Nancherla.
“After Midnight” distinguishes itself with a unique blend of late-night talk show banter and game show elements, making it less of a traditional recap and more of a comedic free-for-all about internet culture. Tomlinson leads a rotating panel of guests in discussions about the day’s most noteworthy online happenings, aiming for insightful, if slightly off-kilter, commentary on the digital zeitgeist.
While new episodes air Monday through Thursday, viewers should be aware that Friday’s “After Midnight” is a re-airing of the October 16, 2024, episode featuring Andy Richter, Thomas Lennon, and Aparna Nancherla.
For those unfamiliar, “After Midnight” follows a simple format: Tomlinson presents the day’s internet highlights (or lowlights, depending on your perspective), and the panel weighs in with their comedic takes. The game show aspect involves challenges and playful banter.
“After Midnight” airs Monday through Friday from 12:37-1:37 AM, ET/PT on CBS and is available for streaming on Paramount+.
