2025 is proving to be an exciting time for network TV shows, with many renewals and cancellations already announced. For CBS, this means that shows like Justin Hartley’s “Tracker” and the spooky comedy “Ghosts” will be returning, while series such as “FBI: International” and “S.W.A.T.” have been cancelled. Unfortunately, another show has received unfortunate news – CBS has decided to cancel one of its two late-night offerings with no replacement in sight.
The late-night talk show titled “After Midnight“, hosted by comedian Taylor Tomlinson, has been terminated following its second season. Unlike other cancellations at CBS, this decision appears to have been anticipated by those involved. According to Deadline, Tomlinson wanted to focus on her stand-up comedy tour, as she currently boasts some of the most hilarious stand-up specials on Netflix. In a statement about the difficult choice to discontinue the show, Tomlinson revealed that it was widely expected to resume for Season 3.
Hosting After Midnight has been an extraordinary adventure I’ll always cherish, and I’m deeply grateful for the chance to be involved in such a remarkable venture. Despite the difficulty, it was clear that I needed to go back to my original love: stand-up comedy, dedicating myself fully once more to touring. I extend my heartfelt thanks to CBS, Stephen Colbert, the producers, and everyone who worked on After Midnight for their affection, encouragement, and priceless memories we shared together.
In “After Midnight,” not only does Taylor Tomlinson conclude her run on CBS, but also the 12:30 AM ET time slot on the network comes to an end. Originally introduced as a replacement for “The Late Late Show” following James Corden’s departure, it occupied the position immediately after “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” This shift represents a significant alteration in the late-night television scene.
Following the conclusion of “After Midnight,” NBC will be the solitary broadcast network maintaining two late-evening/early-morning talk shows daily. Regardless of budget reductions, “Late Night with Seth Meyers” persists in its time slot directly succeeding “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Beyond the major late-night programs trimming their own resources, shows like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (NBC), The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (CBS), and Jimmy Kimmel Live (ABC) are now airing new episodes only from Monday to Thursday, instead of on Fridays. Late Night with Seth Meyers is also cutting down to four days a week, and has had to let go of its house band due to budget cuts. Is it becoming increasingly plausible to consider Kimmel’s prediction that there might not be any late-night network TV shows in the next ten years?
Currently, it’s clear that Taylor Tomlinson is dedicating herself to touring, given her schedule has been cleared following the end of “After Midnight.” It makes me wonder if CBS had any thoughts about trimming the post-“Late Show” slot before Tomlinson decided to depart, as not having a replacement in place represents a significant change. If you’re interested in watching some of her specials, they are now available for streaming with a Netflix subscription.
