Well that's sad. At least we still have Dropout.tv making shows like Game Changer. I've only seen clips of After Midnight but it felt like the American version of UK comedy panel shows, which I love and don't seem work well in the US.

This show was a real disservice to Taylor Tomlinson. She's smart and funny but had to play a dumbed down caricature. Might have been better for her career to have no show at all, but I guess we'll see.

I'm sure she'll be fine in the long run. She does excellent work and she knows plenty of people in the industry.

Obviously I'm not sure what she wants long term but I expect, unless she really just wants to stay in standup forever (which is fine), she'll be on late night or TV or movies or whatever the next big thing is before long.
