Taylor Tomlinson’s *After Midnight*, the late-night comedy program that took over James Corden’s former time slot in 2023, has wrapped up.

In the video above, Tomlinson, who is moving on to concentrate on her standup career, conveys her appreciation for the chance, acknowledges her team, and expresses some regret that *After Midnight* won’t carry on following her exit.

“As you might expect, it’s a deeply emotional evening,” she remarks. “It’s going to be a fantastic show, but you know, there’s a lot happening beneath the surface for me, at least. I’m incredibly thankful that I had the opportunity to do this. I truly am. I never imagined that I would be able to host a late-night show. This was never on my vision board at all because I simply didn’t think it was achievable for me. I’m a touring standup and I feel very grateful to have that career, I genuinely do, and this opportunity arose at a point in my life when I could embrace it, and while sadly I couldn’t continue with the show – it just wasn’t feasible for me – I can hardly believe that I got to host it for as long as I did.

“It was my ambition that I would complete this season and pass it on to a new host. I really wanted CBS to find a replacement for me because I believe there are so many incredible comedians who would have excelled with this show. And the reason I feel so strongly about this is, honestly, it’s hard to express just how extraordinary this team of individuals is that I had the pleasure of working with on this show.”

*After Midnight*’s time slot will now be filled with episodes of *Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen*, according to Deadline.
