Didn't mean for that to come across as a correction, just an observation that this seems to be a deal where Taylor wanted out.  To me, the big story here is that CBS is just giving up on the hour.

And that also appears to have been Taylor's idea.  She wanted a monologue, and the opportunity to chat more with the guests, who on an average day were just three of her less-well-known comedy friends.

All of this is Taylor's fault!

Me, too. At least give it to the news division.

At this point, I'm going to go ahead and quote a post I made on this Forum on December 28, 2023, in the earliest thread about the possibility of a revival of @midnight replacing The Late Late Show:


--- Quote ---To be completely honest, though...while it will certainly be better than Comics Unleashed (not hard), am I the only one who can't see After Midnight as that great an idea? @midnight was great, but it was also representative of an era of the Internet that seems to me to be over. Hashtag Wars losing a lot of its luster now that Twitter has become X is just one example.

Still, I'm going to check After Midnight out, and am ultimately rooting for it to succeed - I get the feeling that if it doesn't, CBS will just give up on that time slot entirely.

So...yeah. Again, I'm disappointed, but I did see more or less see it coming.

Do you have the Powerball numbers for this week?

Well, now Matt Kaiser will never figure out whether or not it’s a game show.
