CBS has announced the cancellation of After Midnight, ending its foray into the second slot of late-night comedy. The show was known for its distinctive approach, often deviating from traditional topical humor. While it experienced issues, such as pacing, it also created many standout moments, including reunion casts of comics and unique segments. The format allowed lesser-known comedians to gain visibility. In its absence, CBS appears to revert to more conventional programming, raising questions among fans about the evolution of late-night comedy.
In hindsight, we should have seen the writing was on the wall when they switched from a tiny couch to a biggun'. It perfectly summed up the vibe of After Midnight.
Almost every time Chris Fleming was on After Midnight, he'd put on a little play. This segment focused on roasting a 'normal guy' who'd actually be feeling the impact.
