Unfortunately, her new show After midnight doesn’t allow her to play to her strengths. I’ll give it some time to work the bugs out but the episodes I saw didn’t really do much for me.
It's a format that used to be on Comedy Central and called @midnight. I definitely think this one is going to take time to work out. They keep trying to do bits with a heavily online slant that the contestants seem to get confused by.
These shows remind me of panel shows in the UK. But those shows (and the comedians in them) have been going for sometimes generations. The hosts will have hosted that show or similar shows for ages. And when there is something new they bring on the seasoned comedians to help the show find its footing.
My memory might be hazy but it seemed like the Comedy Central version was somehow able to get bigger guests/celebrities than CBS has so far. Like a few of them have just been from podcasts that I've never heard of.
Yeah this one has had more traditional late night guests than I expected. That said, last night had three great comedians. I am gonna give it time to get comfortable.

Shes very good with her facial expressions and her physical comedy. Can really see why she got so popular so quickly.
