As CBS confirmed season 2 of After Midnight, the show’s host Taylor Tomlinson took a moment to talk with Variety about the pressure that comes with the renewal of her late-night show. The comedian stated, “It feels like pressure when people ask me about it. Should I be more worried about that? I’m more worried about how we get a second season so that this crew of people gets to keep working together.”

Addressing the pressure of being the only current woman hosting the late-night show, Taylor said that she has no plans to walk down on set carrying the load of being the only woman hosting a late-night show. At the same time, the show’s host hopes to see much more fun and classic late-night shows being carried by women, celebrating humor and fun.

“I don’t want to be dismissive of being the only woman in late night. I would love to see a traditional talk show helmed by a woman. I would love to see more shows like ours. There are lots of different ways to do this, a lot of different perspectives, and they aren’t being represented currently,” she comments.

The Late Show host Stephen Colbert served as the executive producer of the show through his company Spartina Productions, along with Carrie Byalick, Tom Purcell, and many more. After Midnight runs from Monday to Friday on CBS Television Network.
