    Why

    This is the worst show ever. It has no value excitement or flair. I've watched it several times, not to mention the host is super boring.

    I can't find any reason to watch this show. I don't understand it at all. However she would probably be better in another show, the does nothing for her.

    Upon reading the reviews everyone feels similar. The scripted show is not a hit. What are the producers thinking? It is not funny. Why does CBS always resurrect the dead? Are the writers still on strike? After midnight is a lose lose. It is really a dead show. No enthusiasm whatsoever. This show is a bust.

    Late night comedic escapism in troubling times

    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!!!

    Too scripted

    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.

    A valiant go at rebooting a classic

    The original.@midnight (2013-2017) was a brilliant experiment that combined up-to-the-second pop culture ephemera, stand-up comedy & improv. Host Chris Hardwick made it seem effortless. With this reboot, aptly named @fter midnight (begins at 12:30pm in many markets), new host Taylor Tomlinson tries her best to recapture the magic. In the premier episode, she seemed a bit too eager to respond with a loud chuckle to anything the three contestants said, but she did keep things moving and tossed in enough self-deprecating humor to smooth over some rough patches. Given time, I believe she can make the show her own. She also needs a better buzzer. The production has a snappy set, with a smartphone-like screen displaying videos, images and themed graphics. The production team also wisely chose to get the comic contestants out from behind their podiums for one segment. Breaking up the standard game show format is key to a project that proports to not be your average game show. As with its host, the show will need time to shake out some bugs. Here's hoping CBS is willing to invest that time.

    A little chaotic but i laughed a lot

    I'm not sure why this show's rating is so low after a single episode. Give things time, people!

    I never saw the original version of this show, so i went into it blind. It is sort of a tv version of Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, though not as smooth, intellectual, or funny. Yet.

    Taylor is engaging when she feels like she is being herself. When she sticks to the script, it feels less natural, as would be expected from a first day host. I hope the powers behind the show recognize this and don't try to force her into a mold.

    The editing is where the show suffers most. It feels rushed and the places where bits were cut are jarringly obvious, and not just because the scores fluctuate.

    In the end, i can say i laughed out loud quite a few times. It was a light, enjoyable watch and I'm very curious how it will evolve over time.
