After Midnight

I loved this show. I stopped watching Seth Meyers, who is fantastic and has great guests, to watch @midnight every night. But after the show came back from it's summer break with a format change, I'm wandering back to Seth. It's not a good format. It totally takes away from the spontaneity of the guests. The guests and the show are funniest at their podiums, not sitting on a couch asking questions or standing in front of a door guessing which other guest is knocking on it in the other side. I think the show will lose viewers with the new format. You're losing me. Please go back!!! I would have given nine stars for the old format. I think seven stars is being generous for the new format.

The show was very scripted feeling. You have a bunch of amazing comedians on the show including the host, but it felt like she was just reading from a teleprompter the whole time. Give her the cards and turn them loose to be comedians. They are already funny people. You don't have to write their jokes for them.

I was really hoping for something like an American version of The Big Fat Quiz, but it just missed the mark. Who cares if they even make it through the whole game, just let it derail a bit.

Hopefully Taylor will get more comfortable after a few episodes because she is already naturally funny. She doesn't need to look at the camera every time she talks. We are watching to see the back and forth between her and the other comedians not her and the audience/camera.

Currently in season 2, Taylor Tomlinson and After Midnight as a whole are hitting its stride!!! In today's toxic political climate, it is refreshing to have a late night show that not only pokes fun at politics on occasional but also provides an escape from the serious news of the day. The guests while not always well known are creatively funny and offer a wide variety of perspective! The show never takes itself too seriously and while the games are usually fun and unique, the unscripted moments are the best part of the whole show! Looking for 40 minutes to unwind and relax, this is the show!!!

@ftermidnight is a reboot of @midnight. This takes a show that was 30 mins (really 20 mins) to being 60 (really 40 mins). The game show goes on too long. From forced laughter to exhaustion of every answer in the first 20 minutes gets points, there's a reason even non-comedy game shows limit it to 30 mins.

Taylor is a great comedian. With 40 minutes, there's time for a monologue + game show. Understand CBS went to this game show to cut costs vs James Corden's show, but it's only but so long before an hour long game show alone will lack the ratings to justify even drug or political ads. They cast a phenomenal host and the game show can work as part of the show. It needs a monologue upfront and the game show can replace the guest interviews other shows do.

I don't watch any of the late night talk shows since Letterman quit. I did watch Craig Ferguson some. Although not the same type of show as the regular late night talk show. I really liked @Midnight on Comedy Central with Chris Hardwick.

The new version with Taylor Tomlinson is a little different than @Midnight, but still funny and fun. It took a little while to get use to Taylor's style, but I liked her more and more. Some of the same old fav comedians from the old days with @Midnight I really enjoyed seeing again. Doug Peterson, Paul F. Tompkins, Pete Holmes, Maria Bamford, Thomas Lennon, to name a few.

I just read it was cancelled. The reason I came here. To bad. That sucks.
