After Midnight premise
After Midnight is a slightly tweaked version of the Comedy Central show @midnight that was hosted by Chris Hardwick and ran from 2013-2017. CBS is billing the late-night show as "the smartest show on television about the dumbest things on the internet."
Tomlinson will lead a panel of rotating guests from the worlds of entertainment, comedy, music and beyond as they tackle the buzziest things on the internet in a game-show-style format.
