“After Midnight,” which debuted in January 2024, was an experiment. After James Corden stepped aside from “The Late Late Show” in 2023, CBS decided to scrap the traditional late-night format featuring a host, a monologue and a band and try a comedic game show, with a smaller budget and staff.

This week, comedian Taylor Tomlinson announced that she would not return as the host of CBS’s 'After Midnight.'
