On Monday, November 11, 2024, Tomlinson welcomes comedians Milana Vayntrub and Jessica Lowe, plus the always-game Jason Ritter, for what looks to be a spirited exploration of the internet’s more peculiar corners.
Tomlinson, whose stand-up is refreshingly frank and funny, seems a natural fit for a show that aims to dissect the daily deluge of viral oddities. After Midnight leans into a game show format. Whether this works or not is, well, a matter of taste. But with this trio of guests, known for their comedic chops and improvisational skills, there’s a decent chance for some genuine laughs.
The premise is simple enough: Tomlinson and her guests will tackle the day’s strangest online trends, from memes and viral videos to the kind of news stories that make you question humanity’s collective sanity. Vayntrub, perhaps best known for her AT&T commercials but a stand-up comic in her own right, is always a welcome presence. Lowe’s comedic timing is impeccable, and Ritter has a knack for elevating even the most absurd material.
Tune in to CBS at 12:37 AM ET/PT or stream it later on Paramount+. Because let’s face it, doomscrolling through Twitter is less fun when you can’t do it with Taylor Tomlinson and friends.
