CBS Announces Taylor Tomlinson as Youngest Late-Night Host in 20 Years
CBS has just made an exciting announcement for late-night television enthusiasts. Taylor Tomlinson, a talented stand-up comedian, is set to become the newest host in the network’s late-night lineup at the age of 29.
Tomlinson’s show, After Midnight, will follow The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, making her the youngest host in network late-night television in two decades. Not only that, but she is also currently the only female host of late-night network television.
Stephen Colbert Reveals the News
The news of Tomlinson’s show was revealed by none other than Stephen Colbert himself during one of his recent episodes. Tomlinson made a guest appearance on the show, and Colbert also announced that he will be serving as an executive producer for After Midnight.
During the interview, Colbert asked Tomlinson what excited her about her new job. Her response was both humorous and genuine. “I’ve never had a real job,” she confessed. “I’ve been doing stand-up since I was 16, which is not a job. I mean, I worked at a buffet and a wax salon, like not real, I didn’t have a job.”
Tomlinson’s Rise to Success
Prior to landing her own show, Tomlinson gained recognition through two comedy specials on Netflix, titled Quarter-Life Crisis and Look at You. Fans can also look forward to another special from her on the streaming platform in February next year.
Tomlinson’s new show will be taking over the time slot previously held by The Late Late Show, hosted by James Corden. Earlier this year, Corden announced his retirement from the show and his plans to return to the United Kingdom.
