CBS Cancels 'After Midnight' as Taylor Tomlinson Returns to Stand-Up

The network will not replace the 12:30 a.m. time slot, leaving U.S. late-night TV without any female hosts.

Taylor Tomlinson announced her decision to leave 'After Midnight' after two seasons to focus on her stand-up comedy career, which she described as her 'first passion.'
CBS confirmed it will not fill the 12:30 a.m. time slot with original programming, marking the end of its late-night offerings in that slot.
'After Midnight,' a reboot of Comedy Central's '@midnight,' featured comedians discussing internet and pop culture topics and averaged 700,000 viewers per episode.
The show's final episodes are scheduled to air in June 2025, following a previously announced renewal for a third season that was later reversed.
The cancellation highlights broader challenges facing late-night TV, including declining viewership, financial pressures, and shifting audience habits.
