The Hollywood Reporter:

CBS is dipping back into the recent past to fill the late night slot that’s soon to open up when its The Late Late Show With James Corden departs.

The network is set to replace the long-running Late Late Show franchise with a reboot of comedic panel game show @midnight, sources confirm to The Hollywood Reporter. Stephen Colbert, who hosts The Late Show for the network, is on board as executive producer of the revived program that aired 600 episodes on Comedy Central before signing off in August 2017.

I’m actually genuinely happy to see this!

Before it went off air, I was a big fan of @Midnight, given how close it was to a British panel show versus a proper game show or  late night talk show, and would frequently join its daily Hashtag Wars.

That said, I have two thoughts off the bat:

• What does @Midnight look like in 2023-2024 when Twitter is such a garbage fire?
• Who should host? Clearly not Chris Hardwick, who has been somewhat religated to a handful of projects since his scandal a few years back. May I suggest, perhaps a funny woman of color? If it weren’t for the fact that she was killing it so hard on Shrinking, I’d say Jessica Williams was right there as an option.

Either way, I am very intrigued to see how this plays out…

…even if I’m an old man who will watch the episodes the next day on Paramount+, versus “live" on CBS.
