This is Fresh Air. I'm Tanya Mosley, and my guest today is stand-up comedian and late-night talk show host Taylor Tomlinson. She hosts CBS's After Midnight, which bills itself as the smartest show on TV about the dumbest things on the internet.

Tomlinson and this is my show after midnight and this is my outfit today. Do you like it? Thank you, but no offense. There's only one opinion that matters. The only one I care about is this random guy on Reddit who's been ranking my outfits. Yep. This is real. He uses a scale from elite to gnaw, which I think is the metric system. I'm not sure. I'd make fun of this, but this person clearly has watched every episode of the show, so I think I might be in love. In fact, this is the only ranking I care about. Some late-night hosts worry about ratings and ad sales. Not me. I wake up in a cold sweat. Like, is Reddit user 21 puppets going to think my blazer is mid? Seems a little f***ed to do to the only woman in late night. That

was my guest Taylor Tomlinson performing the opening monologue on CBS's After Midnight, which took the time slot vacated last year by The Late Late Show with James Corden. When Tomlinson took that slot, headlines described her as the youngest female late-night host on network television. Taylor got the stand-up bug when she was 16, performing at open mics in church basements and schools and coffee shops in Orange County, California, where she grew up. Her humor is self-deprecating and rapid fire, and almost nothing seems to be off the table. Her topics range from the perils of dating on apps to finding out she has bipolar disorder. Taylor has three stand-up specials on Netflix, Quarter Life Crisis, Look at You, and this year's special Have It All. She'll soon be traveling the country performing stand-up with her Save Me tour. Taylor Tomlinson, welcome to Fresh Air.
