Who is Taylor Tomlinson, host of new late night show on CBS?

Taylor Tomlinson is hitting it big time.

The comedian, 29, was just announced to host her own late night show, “After Midnight,” which will replace James Corden’s time slot on CBS.

The announcement was made on Wednesday’s episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”

The series will drop in 2024 and Colbert will serve as executive producer.

“We’ll need someone who is, I don’t know, fun, likable, young, in touch with online trends and available every night of the week,” he said just before announcing Tomlinson as the new emcee.

“I’m 29 so if you don’t know who I am, don’t worry. I barely know myself,” Tomlinson said on the broadcast.

“After Midnight” is inspired by the Comedy Central series “At Midnight with Chris Hardwick.”

Tomlinson has previously been seen starring in her own specials on Netflix, “Look At You” and “Quarter-Life Crisis.”

She’s one of the most followed female comedians on TikTok

Tomlinson has had much success on the social media platform, becoming the seventh most-followed female comedian on the app.

She currently has 2.5 million followers, with whom she often shares clips from her media appearances and from her comedy specials.

She was born and raised in California

Tomlinson was born in 1993 in Orange County, California, and was raised in adjoining Riverside County, in Temecula. For a brief time, she attended California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.

Her mother died of cancer when she was 8 years old, and she was raised alongside her three brothers.

She was once engaged

In her 2022 special, “Look at You,” she revealed that she was once engaged.

However, she ended the relationship before taping her first stand-up show, “Quarter-Life Crisis.” The event aired on Netflix in 2020.

She has bipolar disorder

She often uses mental health issues and her bipolar disorder diagnosis for stand-up material.

In “Look at You,” she discussed having depression and anxiety.

Earlier this year, Tomlinson traveled to Dublin to perform two comedy shows and shared on social media that she had last traveled to Ireland in 2019.

She noted how that during that previous trip she “was at one of the lowest points of my life.”

“[That] summer I started seeing a psychiatrist and a few months before I filmed ‘Quarter-Life Crisis.’ It was so nice to be back 4 years later. Happy and healthy and living my g-ddamn dream,” she captioned her post.

She counts Dave Chappelle as one of her influences

Tomlinson noted that she idolizes such comedians as Richard Pryor, Chappelle, Conan O’Brien, Bert Kreischer and John Mulaney.

She also looks to Brian Regan and Maria Bamford as major comedic influences.

“I loved Brian Regan and Maria Bamford when I was younger — and still do. Regan is just one of the greats, and also the nicest person. And you could listen to him with your whole family and know everyone would enjoy it. I love everything Maria Bamford does. She’s so different from anyone else out there, and she talks about mental health in such a hilarious, vulnerable, amazing way,” she told Netflix in 2022.
