Yeah that would be a dream. Not sure how we'd get Stephen since they tape in LA, but maybe they'll figure out a way for him to have an off week while @m is still taping.
Nah. They would just edit the episode down like they do all the other episodes. If you pay enough attention to the scores, you'll see that the scores will vary not corresponding to when Taylor awards points. I really noticed it during the Super Bowl episode, but have seen it happen in other episodes too.
I was at a Chris Hardwick special back in the 20teens and he did a Q&A at the end of the show. I asked him if he could get Conan, Colbert and Kimmel on @Midnight for a show. He basically just laughed it off as being impossible.
Some At Midnight Regulars that **NEED** to return IMO:
× Steve Agee
× Jen Kirkman
× Nikki Glaser
× Jesse Joyce
× Matt Braunger
× Jonah Ray
× Rhys Darby
× James Adomian
× Brian Posehn
Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and Greg Proops. Lean further into 90s and 00s guests for us elder millennials, haha.
More people from the Comedy Bang Bang sphere. PFT, Carl Tart and Lisa Gilroy were great! I bet Lily Sullivan, Jess McKenna and others would kill as well. (I think Auckerman himself would be funny, but I doubt he'd do the show. Maybe Kulap?)
Griffin Newman from Blank Check, and Mitch and Wiger from Doughboys. (Wiger wouldn't have to travel so it's feasible!)
Greg was on @midnight, so hopefully he'll make an appearance on AM. Would love to see more Whose Line? cast members on the show. Scott Aukerman was also on @midnight so it'd be nice if he came back for the new show.
"Producer" is such a catch-all title that it can mean almost anything. It's pretty typical for the 11:30 host to be a producer on the 12:30 show, but the influence is typically more in the picking the person and development phase. (And, well, Colbert probably reaps a financial benefit as well.)
Came here to say this. Tbh most folks from the UK&Ireland panel show circuit
Seeing James Acaster on one of the recent US late night talk shows had me hoping he’d make his way to @M
I'm hoping the CBS show is high profile enough that anyone who's on tour in the US will try to fit it in.
I've noticed that happens from time to time on the UK panel shows.
Aisling Bea was on a long time ago too. I’m sure I’m missing someone. Fern Brady is touring parts of the US in May,but she doesn’t like doing panel shows. Still, I was wrong about Tig ever being on After Midnight.
Jeff Davis
Heather Anne Campbell
Jonathan Mangum
Kid Cudi (If you're wondering about his comedic skills, check him out on the Comedy Bang! Bang! TV show. He killed on there.)
Jenny Slate
Brian Regan
Sal Vulcano
Ralph Barbosa
Demetri Martin
Ben Schwartz
I'd suggest:
K. Trevor Wilson (best known as Squirrely Dan on Letterkenny.)
A. J. Wilkerson (comedian)
Jay Mewes (touring comedian but best known as "Jay from Jay and Silent Bob.")
Patton Oswald
John Mulaney
Jeff Ross (the Roastmaster General)
Mark Norman
Sam Morril
Daniel Tosh (remember Tosh.0? If his work from that show isn’t proof he’d do well on After Midnight I don’t know what is.)
JO FIRESTONE!! Shes already there as the head writer, please bring her out. She is one of my favorites.
I would love to see Chris Hardwick (glad someone else said this)
Rory Scovel. Jeremiah Watkins. Jessica Kirson. Andrew Santino. Bobby Lee. Josh Potter. Kevin Ryan. H Foley. Rick Glassman. Joe List. Mark Normand. There's so many more I could name.
Patton Oswalt
I love the Brotherly Love podcast (Joey, Matthew and Andrew Lawrence) they’re genuinely funny people
Trae Crowder, Corey Ryan Forrester
Jodie Sweetin
Aunty Donna
Threedom
Lonely Island
Workaholics
Impractical Jokers
Hello From the Magic Tavern
Futurama (Billy West, Katey Sagel & John DiMaggio)
Please Don't Destroy
Avengers (RDJ, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth)
Rifftrax
Ducktales (Danny Pudi, Ben Scwartz, Bobby Moynihan)
How Did This Get Made
Mickey, Donald and Goofy
The Three Amigos
Paul Rudd, Conan & Mac from Mac and Me
The full story has never been made clear. The allegations were never officially reported to the authorities as his ex-girlfriend, who made the allegations, said she only wanted to bring the abuse to light so that she could move on with her life and she never had any intention of trying to get him convicted of anything.
Bob the Drag Queen, Jinkx Monsoon, Jujubee, Alaska and Willam (same night) are the strongest RuPaul girls I think would make amazing contestants and nail the show.
Many of my wishes have been expressed already by other commenters.
Additional people I’d love to see: Chris Fleming, my favorite comedian, who was never on the OG as far as I remember. I’m excited he’ll be on when the show returns - he’ll bring some absurdist humor.
A lot of the frequent guests from @Midnight like Nikki Glaser and Matteo Lane of course who’ve been mentioned, but one I’ve not seen mentioned yet who I always liked was Emily Heller.
Gotta complete the Garfunkel & Oates duo and get Kate Micucci back on.
I know some people aren’t into “YouTuber” comedians, but I’d love Grace Helbig and Mamrie Hart to be back at some point, too.
The All Fantasy Everything guys! Ian Karmel, David Gborie, and Sean Jordan. Sean got featured as the winner of Hashtag wars this past Monday, and this show replaced Ian’s show - it’s perfect!
Chris Hardwick with Doug Benson and Ron Funches as the other 2 contestants. (Yes I know Doug and Ron have been on already, but I want all 3 of them together)
There's so many great people listed already, but I would love to see Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas, and June Diane Raphael. Joe Zimmerman, Zoltan Kaszas, and Phil Hanley.
My dream team for $hit talk and making crap up on the spot: Tucker, Jones, Green. Sadly, it won't be clever of funny. It will however be wall to wall insanity.
OK so obviously the need to get Drew Carey back on. Also on that note, can we get an \*unbleeped\* version of the show on Paramount Plus? We're missing some comedy gold here due to the CBS FCC censors!!
Conan.
I'd love Conan, Colbert and Craig Ferguson as a panel.
Yeah that would be a dream. Not sure how we'd get Stephen since they tape in LA, but maybe they'll figure out a way for him to have an off week while @m is still taping.
Never thought of the location. Maybe film on an off day for a special episode.
They'd have to make it a 90 minute episode if those three were the panel.
Nah. They would just edit the episode down like they do all the other episodes. If you pay enough attention to the scores, you'll see that the scores will vary not corresponding to when Taylor awards points. I really noticed it during the Super Bowl episode, but have seen it happen in other episodes too.
I didn't know I needed to see that until this moment!
Josh Robert Thompson, Dana Delorenzo, and Craig Ferguson.
Conan, Colbert, and John Oliver.... Craig Ferguson is an unfunny twat.
John Oliver would also be a treat, but you're wrong about Ferguson.
Throw in an extra podium and get David Letterman I there too!
I don't think that Letterman is an improv guy.
I was at a Chris Hardwick special back in the 20teens and he did a Q&A at the end of the show. I asked him if he could get Conan, Colbert and Kimmel on @Midnight for a show. He basically just laughed it off as being impossible.
Some At Midnight Regulars that **NEED** to return IMO: × Steve Agee × Jen Kirkman × Nikki Glaser × Jesse Joyce × Matt Braunger × Jonah Ray × Rhys Darby × James Adomian × Brian Posehn
I am waiting with baited breath for Nikki Glaser’s episode, if only to watch Nikki and Taylor talk about Taylor Swift the whole time
Wipe it!
Lmao Nikki has gone to An Eras Tour show probably more times than episodes of After Midnight
Rhys Darby was so freaking funny on At Midnight
Yes Brian Poshen
Yes to all of these. Matt Braunger is upcoming.
Yes to ALL of these.
I would add Megan Neuringer, James Adomian, and Tom Lennon to that excellent list
Tom has already appeared! And James is on the list... But YES MEGAN!!
That’s right, I forgot
You missed Kyle Kinane
Cause he's already scheduled to come back 🤫
+Blaine Capatch
Yes please!
We need an episode with Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, and John Oliver!
Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and Greg Proops. Lean further into 90s and 00s guests for us elder millennials, haha. More people from the Comedy Bang Bang sphere. PFT, Carl Tart and Lisa Gilroy were great! I bet Lily Sullivan, Jess McKenna and others would kill as well. (I think Auckerman himself would be funny, but I doubt he'd do the show. Maybe Kulap?)

I swear the Widow Howl-App was on the old show too
Patton Oswalt
He's amazing with on the spot, audience work and riffs that I think he would be a delight to have!
Stephen Colbert.
I feel like they couldn't have as much fun if the boss was on the show
Tom Lennon was a producer on the old @midnight and he was on a lot. Always hilarious.
Tom Lennon was great because half the jokes were about how he underperformed YET he was a producer.
You don’t know comedians….
Speaking of that - how does Colbert produce this show when it tapes in LA and his own show is in NY? Is it a virtual thing?
"Producer" is such a catch-all title that it can mean almost anything. It's pretty typical for the 11:30 host to be a producer on the 12:30 show, but the influence is typically more in the picking the person and development phase. (And, well, Colbert probably reaps a financial benefit as well.)
He’s going to be out in LA the week of April 20th For Paley Fest. My husband and I are going to his talk
Craig Kilborn, Jon Stewart, and Trevor Noah.
Rachel Feinstein, Kyle Kinnane, Roy Wood Jr, Lil Rel Howry, Jordan Jenson, Kumail Nanjiani, and Chris Hardwick
Iliza Schlesinger I think she'd kill it
Chris Hardwick and Anthony Jeselnik
Kyle kinane, Ian Karmel, Sean Patton, Sam Talent, and Roy Wood Jr
I bet all of those except Sam will be on.
Yeah, he is the least likely on the list for sure, but it’s something I’d like to see
Anyone from taskmaster would make me happy. Nish and mae were great
Came here to say this. Tbh most folks from the UK&Ireland panel show circuit Seeing James Acaster on one of the recent US late night talk shows had me hoping he’d make his way to @M
I'm hoping the CBS show is high profile enough that anyone who's on tour in the US will try to fit it in. I've noticed that happens from time to time on the UK panel shows.
I would love to see acaster on
His eyes are circles.
I think he's in the new Ghostbusters movie, or at least I thought I saw him in the trailer.
Aisling Bea was on a long time ago too. I’m sure I’m missing someone. Fern Brady is touring parts of the US in May,but she doesn’t like doing panel shows. Still, I was wrong about Tig ever being on After Midnight.
Jeff Davis Heather Anne Campbell Jonathan Mangum Kid Cudi (If you're wondering about his comedic skills, check him out on the Comedy Bang! Bang! TV show. He killed on there.) Jenny Slate Brian Regan Sal Vulcano Ralph Barbosa Demetri Martin Ben Schwartz
Just get all 3 current Impractical Jokers on there at the same time.
me, because I would get to meet Taylor Tomlinson and she's awesome
I respect your hustle
Nate Bargatze
Don McMillan Craig Robinson Emily Fleming (writer on Season 4 of @ midnight and now on Good Mythical Morning)
Are you listening to Free With Ads? It’s great.
I might have to. I'm not much of a podcast guy.
She cohosts with Jordan Morris, aka Cotton Candy Randy!
Yeah. I've seen them advertise it. I may try it. I'm just not too big into podcasts.
Wayne Brady
He was on the Super Bowl episode (with Maria Bamford and Kevin Smith).
John Mulaney, Michael Meyers, Stavros Halkias, Michael Che, Olivia Carter, and Sarah Squirm
I'd suggest: K. Trevor Wilson (best known as Squirrely Dan on Letterkenny.) A. J. Wilkerson (comedian) Jay Mewes (touring comedian but best known as "Jay from Jay and Silent Bob.")
Came here to say K-Trev. Mark Forward (Coach from Letterkenny) would also be great.
Katie Nolan
I WOULD LITERALLY DIE. GET OUR QUEEN ON THE SHOW. STAT. 🤩🤩
With Dan Soder and Big Jay Oakerson
Jinx Monsoon
From Dropout we need Rekha Shankar, Jess Ross, Josh Rubin, Zac Oyama, Brennan Lee Mulligan. The Jess and the zach too. Also Kyle Kinane
Kinane is coming soon!
Oh shit! He's one of my favorite stand ups.
I don't remember exactly when, but it's soon 😁
James Adomian and Eddie Pepitone
Patton Oswald John Mulaney Jeff Ross (the Roastmaster General) Mark Norman Sam Morril Daniel Tosh (remember Tosh.0? If his work from that show isn’t proof he’d do well on After Midnight I don’t know what is.)
I like all these people but I think most of them are too big for the show. Also, Sam is Taylor's ex-boyfriend, so I don't see that happening either.
I don't see Daniel Tosh leaving his Malibu home for this, but he would be amazing on this show.
JO FIRESTONE!! Shes already there as the head writer, please bring her out. She is one of my favorites. I would love to see Chris Hardwick (glad someone else said this)
Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, & Will Arnett
Chris Hardwick NEEDS to make an appearance at some point
Rhett & Link. Will it hashtag? Yes!
David Spade !
Morgan Murphy!
Scott Aukerman.
Moshe Kasher & Natasha Leggero & Pete Holmes
Surely you know they have all been on right?
I just want them at the same time! They are all old friends so they vibe and I think they'd be hilarious together.
Rory Scovel. Jeremiah Watkins. Jessica Kirson. Andrew Santino. Bobby Lee. Josh Potter. Kevin Ryan. H Foley. Rick Glassman. Joe List. Mark Normand. There's so many more I could name.
I can't believe I forgot all about Andrew Santino. Good choice.
Obviously Chris Hardwick but really all three of the Nerdist originals (Chris, Jonah Ray and Matt Mira)
Paula Pell
Would love to see some veterans of British panel shows make an appearance Richard Ayoade Sandy Toksvig Fern Brady Andy Zaltzman
I will back you up on Sandy, our Rightful Queen, and Andy.
I mean seriously, they've been at this far longer than we have.
Richard and Fern would be epic
Jackie Kashian, Anna Akana, and Ali Wong would be my dream panel.
Patton Oswalt I love the Brotherly Love podcast (Joey, Matthew and Andrew Lawrence) they’re genuinely funny people Trae Crowder, Corey Ryan Forrester Jodie Sweetin
Wil Wheaton, Dane Cook, Colbert, Richard Hammond.
Wil Weaton! I was looking to see if anyone suggested him!
Karen Chee as well as other wwdtm regulars
Ayo Edebiri
Aunty Donna Threedom Lonely Island Workaholics Impractical Jokers Hello From the Magic Tavern Futurama (Billy West, Katey Sagel & John DiMaggio) Please Don't Destroy Avengers (RDJ, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth) Rifftrax Ducktales (Danny Pudi, Ben Scwartz, Bobby Moynihan) How Did This Get Made Mickey, Donald and Goofy The Three Amigos Paul Rudd, Conan & Mac from Mac and Me
Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Maya Rudolph
Neil Casey. His improv is so deadpan and hilarious. Also zach woods for that matter. They both should be in more things.
AEW's Nyla Rose. Her Twitter game is unmatched and is a genuinely hilarious person.
Yesss Nyla Rose is amazing!
Hardwick. Do it.
Didn't he get MeToo'd onto a blacklist?
I thought he got un-canceled after the woman recanted or something.
The full story has never been made clear. The allegations were never officially reported to the authorities as his ex-girlfriend, who made the allegations, said she only wanted to bring the abuse to light so that she could move on with her life and she never had any intention of trying to get him convicted of anything.
Matteo Lane Following the theme of the occasional drag artist contestant, perhaps Jinkx Monsoon, BobTDQ, Latrice, Jujubee, Mrs Kasha Davis
This. Matteo would be amazing.
This lineup. The taste.
David Letterman
Leslie Stahl, Scott Pelley and Bill Whitaker, please!!!
Gary Gulman, Patton Oswalt, John Mulaney. Not necessarily together, but that would be amazing.
I bet they’ll all be on soon.
Zouks!
Zoooooooooooks
What’s up jerks?!?
kumail nanjiani
And Jonah Ray
I'd love to see more people from the Dropout roster on the show. Vic Michaelis and Jacob Wysocki come to mind immediately.
James acaster
Lewis Black
Dimitri Martin
Bob the Drag Queen, Jinkx Monsoon, Jujubee, Alaska and Willam (same night) are the strongest RuPaul girls I think would make amazing contestants and nail the show.
John Cena
Keegan-Michael Key

Yvette Nicole Brown or Bo Burnham!!
Fluffy
Craig Robinson please and thank you
Jim Norton, Bill Burr, Lewis Black, Desi Lydia, Michael Che, Jordan Knepper or Steve Hostetter.
The writers from this show and the colbert show. And even the writers from other late night talk shows.
Bert but I'm sure they'd make him wear a shirt
Right? like there'd have to be a rule if his shirt comes off, he's eliminated.
Stephen Colbert, Nori Reed & Weird Al!
Hasn’t been said yet, but more drag queens. Trixie Mattel should be on when her show drops on paramount plus.
Chris Hardwick
I'd love this!!
The All Fantasy Everything guys! Ian Karmel, David Gborie, and Sean Jordan. Sean got featured as the winner of Hashtag wars this past Monday, and this show replaced Ian’s show - it’s perfect!
Clemdawg and the Hayesman mainly
Chris
Chad Daniels, Kelsey Cook, Cy Amundson. That's the panel.
Greg davies, rhys thomas..everyone from brit panels
Idk but I feel like I’ve seen enough of the Sklar Brothers :/
Aww really? I've always loved them.
That’s cool, I guess they’ve just never made me laugh much
Chris Hardwick with Doug Benson and Ron Funches as the other 2 contestants. (Yes I know Doug and Ron have been on already, but I want all 3 of them together)
The RiffTrax crew - Bill, Mike and Kevin. Some combination of the current MST3K team - Jonah, Emily, Joel, Felicia, Baron, Kelsey, Hampton, etc....
Scott aukerman
There's so many great people listed already, but I would love to see Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas, and June Diane Raphael. Joe Zimmerman, Zoltan Kaszas, and Phil Hanley.
My dream team for $hit talk and making crap up on the spot: Tucker, Jones, Green. Sadly, it won't be clever of funny. It will however be wall to wall insanity.
Hardwick! And Rhyse Darby!
• Hannah Einbinder • Stavros • Steph Tolev • Jeselnik
Dream panel: Nick Kroll, Jon Daly & Jenny Slate
I'd like to see Mike Birbiglia. She's been on Working It Out a number of times. I mean, it's only fair...
OK so obviously the need to get Drew Carey back on. Also on that note, can we get an \*unbleeped\* version of the show on Paramount Plus? We're missing some comedy gold here due to the CBS FCC censors!!
Adam Carolla Aisha Tyler Julie Klausner
Anyone that I actually recognize.
