Taylor Tomlinson Details Health Crisis and Shame Behind CBS Late Night Exit

Comedian Taylor Tomlinson has revealed in her new essay collection, 'Actually, Nevermind,' that she quit her role as host of CBS's 'After Midnight' due to severe health issues and burnout. Tomlinson describes the decision as a 'shameful' act that jeopardized the jobs of nearly 200 crew members. She explains that she attempted to negotiate a transition to a new host, but CBS canceled the show entirely after learning of her departure. The incident occurred amid a broader collapse of late-night television, following the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's 'The Late Show' earlier in 2026.
