Taylor Tomlinson is a comedian on the rise. Tomlinson has found fame on social media and has two Netflix comedy specials (Quarter-Life Crisis and Look At You) under her belt. It was recently announced that she will be taking over the 12:30 a.m. time slot at CBS with a show called After Midnight, which will replace The Late Late Show with James Corden. The Late Late Show began in 1995 and featured different hosts, including Tom Snyder, Craig Kilborn, and Craig Ferguson.

Best known for her relatable comedy style, where she discusses her mental health and how she dealt with her mom’s death when she was young, Tomlinson certainly has a younger audience that may be vital for reviving the late-night shows. In recent years, late-night shows have been seeing significant dips in viewers, as many turn to YouTube and other social media networks just to watch clips from the episodes anytime.
