'These are my concessions' 😂

[@tayloreh]

I love how that joke was kinda already made before on this show, but around political concessions. Its the joke that keeps on giving.

[@kurtsudheim825]

​@@taylorehusher joke is ild, i know ive heard it from Jack Whitehall & more

[@FitzyyLives]

I love Nico, but that is technically the wrong artist. Still a solid pun

[@helenl3193]

If Nico hadn't got extra points for that I'd have kicked off!

[@katekramer7679]

The wrong artist? It's an Usher song​@@FitzyyLives

[@jasonflay8818]

(in unison) 'You can do Bill Burr but you CAN'T do Cher??!!' Comedy, gold.

[@kurtsudheim825]

Want really in unison, nick just joined in. & surprise, everyone's got a different voice, so since come racist to others, also pete spends more time with bill & he'll come up in more conversations

[@romxxii]

To be faiir Bill is just "angry, nasally Bostonian."

[@tuckercase2449]

This is exactly what I want out of a show on in the middle of the night: comedians bullshitting and forcing callback jokes nonstop. I am not joking in this assertion. I would stay up late to watch this drunk. I obviously will wake up early to watch this at work. Give me more of this.

[@kurtsudheim825]

It's basically Chris hard wick updated with social media. Hits just right, not brilliant, out of this world, but just right for what is meant to be

[@uosdwisrdewoh418]

No one cares. Shut up

[@Sofia.K.CheerYT]

True, just have a good time, don't overthink or stress about the state of things and laugh

[@Nancy-jc4bv]

👏👏👏👏🎉

[@monica93304]

I work graveyard at the post office. I'm laughing my ass off sorting mail and people ask why I'm dying of laughter. This show makes my night.

[@specialwhenlit8435]

Thanks for helping Peter with his impression, guys. After all, Cher-ing is caring.

[@phelan_pt]

Underrated! 😂

[@chuckle5253]

Nico and Billy coaching Pete through it was hilarious

[@EGreeneConversations]

get outta here. I hate that i laughed but this was so wrong 😒😂😂

[@RockStarioke]

The Usher joke was 🔥🔥🔥

[@kurtsudheim825]

Ya, I've heard it a fair few times before (Jack Whitehall at least), but Pete delivery/posing is just perfect

[@Seapatico]

This lineup crushes

[@jjjohnson3419]

Here here

[@kurtsudheim825]

Million times better than yesterday, best one yet, at least top2

[@captainmercy87]

The best panel the show had.

[@kurtsudheim825]

Million times better than yesterday

[@benchiaase]

Without a doubt

[@ElizabethT45]

This panel has made me laugh more than any other so far.

[@BernardoArteaga]

So true!!

[@mhawang8204]

💯

[@etg239]

Taylor Tomlinson just reminded me that I need to make my car payment today and saved me a late fee! After Midnight - a show that truly gives back for watching👍

[@mhicks31]

wait... don't send that payment yet. I have inside info that Reba will be showing cleavage.

[@allanjensen1195]

Hands down Best Episode Yet. The chemistry between all of them was amazing

[@ChadHalfacre]

THIS is what I've been hoping for! Comedians being weird and goofy with each other while barely playing the game! Hopefully it's encouraged and Taylor gets to pitch in as often as possible!

[@indianoutlaw5702]

Pete just proved Cher imitations are on par with Kermit the Frog.

[@theblurredlights]

It's giving Chermit. It's Grrrreat! 🤣

[@zoemalcolm2897]

“In the news…” is the worse joke you have ever told! And I love you for it 😂

[@LordofPride]

Give that haunted doll a haircut and some glasses and you'll have a life size Sam Reich

[@kurtsudheim825]

That usher joke has been done before (by Jack Whitehall, if not more), but Pete delivery/posing of it just hits perfectly

[@darcyglavine5860]

Pete Holmes is SO FUNNY.. probably my favorite comedian.

[@zachryder3150]

His late night show was cancelled too soon.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

^ definitely

[@t23001]

Talented entertainer, Italian, mustache. Paul is Cher’s type of guy.

[@Chrisdena_]

Oh no, the haunted doll is back!

[@DanielIKing]

2:48 - Extra points to Nico for referencing Jumbo's Clown Room!

[@rogueguardian]

5:22 I don't eat dinner standing over the sink....I eat it standing over the trash can 😂

[@YouHadMeAtMoonPie]

“You can do Bill Burr, but you can’t do CHER?” I am deceased

[@AustinSmithProfile]

I love how Taylor doubles over when she's laughing

[@AdrianColley]

Strong abs, weak quads.

[@velocitymg]

She also covers her mouth when she is laughing hard…very cute

[@grankmisguided]

Not sure why they cut the panel introductions but this is still the best first segment they've ever had, I cackled 3 or 4 times 🤣🤣❤️❤️

[@phelan_pt]

I'm thinking it was because there was a lot of banter and they need to keep the clips a certain length? It does feel like an odd choice, I can't watch it elsewhere, but it feels like those Oxnard jokes were callbacks to the missing intros. But to be fair, this was top quality banter and jokes, so if they had to cut something for time, keeping this was a good choice. I'll forgive you *this time* @aftermidnight. 😛

[@grankmisguided]

@@phelan_pt 1000% on the Oxnard stuff, idek where that is 🤷‍♂️

[@grapesofwraith1066]

Aww Pete and Taylor are like Conan’s adopted comedy kids!

[@nicolegriesmeyer2035]

The seats joke followed by the concessions joke?! UNREAL!

[@rmfan2092]

When I saw this panel lineup I was SO pumped... and the first segment lived up to expectations!! Yasssss!!

[@romxxii]

Pete Holmes' brand of humor really is tailored (heh) for Taylor.

[@richpeltier9519]

How is this the first segment and I'm already crying tears and had to stop playback cause I couldn't breathe? Proceeding fearfully.

[@Asnerlicious]

I am loving the wholesome vibes of the cast this episode. They are making each other laugh so much.

[@xyrd3441]

Pete Holmes is a legend.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

He’s the real life Mr PeanutButter

[@stygggian]

Pete Holmes is a living dad joke, and I love it.

[@miritskeen]

actually super obsessed w the show and concept, and love when the bits are more about the news / pop culture than social media. genuinely laughing at some of these jokes!!!

[@jamesyoungquist6923]

I'm not on Crystal meth. I'm on insomnia and anxiety. Should I switch?

[@Tonyhouse1168]

It definitely doesn’t help with insomnia and/or anxiety. Or so my friend says..

[@scottlarock7924]

There was a sentence from that madam Web trailer that made me shut it off. I don't remember what it was. But I can't believe there was another one

[@ckee8437]

I couldn't finish the movie, it was so bad

[@kobewan777]

Love the show so far and this episode was great! But @AfterMidnightCBS, can you please make sure the guest intros are on KZbin? It's helpful to know who the comics are in case I want to stay up to date with them, and for this episode it actually started the whole "Oxnard" bit that made the episode so much better if you knew about it!

[@phelan_pt]

I think this time they must have had to cut them for time, as there was a lot of hilarious banter that was more worth keeping. But I'd watch a separate clip with just the intros, or failing that, would like to see something about the missing intros in the video description.

[@chrisnowlin7882]

Quite literally sitting over the sink watching this on my phone right now

[@Aphercotropes]

Billy shaming Pete into a Cher impersonation is pure gold!

[@MatthewHoffmann-i1t]

Seriously, Taylor is the only person that makes me smile anymore

[@Tonyhouse1168]

I adore you Taylor. Can we PLEASE talk to whoever does your uploads about numbering them? I promise we’ll still watch the clips.

[@curtislindsey1736]

Look at the playlist tab. It takes a couple hours after they post the clips but the playlist has them in order.

[@greermhy]

I’ve been saying to myself for the last week that that middle buzzer is broken! Everyone has trouble with it!

[@modok47]

I want a job editing subtitles because I actually got the Sideways reference and knew he said 'merlot' and not 'leap more.'

[@dannyburleigh1]

WTF? I just found out that me and Paul Giamatti are the same age! I thought for sure that he was like 5 years older or more!

[@cumincalamity9867]

I know, man. He did Marc Maron's podcast about a month ago and at some point Marc said he was older than Paul and I was like, "WHAT! he was like 50 when he was in Private Parts!"

[@JohnForrestDM]

You guys feel that? This show is getting it's grooooove! I love it!

[@ckee8437]

Taylors commin' to Oxnard soooooooon!!!!!

[@stacypeterson3685]

This show is hilarious. Almost made me think about getting Paramount plus.

[@slimeplort]

I love how Taylor as the host is having more fun than the guests. It reminds me of the more casual british comedy shows where they do improv messing around.

[@mhawang8204]

This the the best clip I’ve seen from the show so far. 😂 Keep it up!

[@robkoper841]

This is the best At Midnight clip so far!

[@Ayalaula]

Nico and Billy reminded me of Jack's Cher impression on Will and Grace 😂

[@FanFicnic]

This episode has such good vibes and great energy

[@Kentrc11]

Oh cool, Pete Holmes. I like Ex-men & Bat-canned. Wonder if he'll give the Avengers the pink slip next.

[@Iconoblasto]

An all-star panel! I love this show.

[@oopszie]

I saw Taylor Tomlinson in Oxnard once, she was hilarious

[@ericlampham]

Probably one of the funniest moments on this show.

[@jessicaspain5005]

This has been one of my favorite episodes ❤❤❤

[@marksasahara1115]

If you believe in life after Paul (Giamati)! This is an amazing panel!! I haven't seen all of the episodes, but holy shit! Taylor and these guys are hitting on all 13 cylindars! LOL!

[@velocitymg]

I love Taylor, she is the full package, funny, smart and beautiful.

[@GlenNewsome]

This was my favorite episode

[@jtetsuya]

Haha I love that they brought this show back... is also perfect for clipping to make shorts. I love being able to genuinely laugh at all the segments because most of online content right now is so painfully scripted.

[@YouHadMeAtMoonPie]

I hope this doll keeps coming back.

[@rachel_rexxx]

I like soup and might become a lawyer.

[@dr.sweetchat6769]

They get such great panelists

[@stellaoliviasarah]

Nico❤❤❤

[@madderhat5852]

I want that haunted doll.

[@BasiCitizen]

Simply fantastic.

[@madderhat5852]

Mister Bombastic

[@justaguy12345]

Please keep the introductions!

[@Nashadelicable]

Whoa what a great panel

[@stereoroid]

I thought “Oxnard!” was the sound Paul Giamatti makes when trying to stifle a sneeze. 🤧

[@MitchOLego]

"Usher as an Usher" joke ... The Muppets did it. :P

[@Raddiebaddie]

These are my concessions 😂 🎶

[@brentkelly9864]

Best trio yet!

[@hhunstad2011]

It was spot on 😂

[@wirelesmike73]

Oh, I can tell this is gonna be a gooooooooood one😁

[@mikecito1717]

Please let those three do a full week...in Oxnard

[@WestOfEarth]

The show is getting there! Moving to its grove.

[@shammerHammer]

Great opening joke

[@Azihayya]

Pete Holmes! I'm Pete Holmes' second biggest fan!

[@stevensedlak]

4:09 reference to Usher's Cameo in Muppets Most Wanted

[@simont390]

Scores on the screen: 600 - 600 - 700 Taylor: Nico and Pete are tied for first with 1000 points! Someone needs to work on their video editing...

[@jasperlevien5968]

Recommend John Dies at the end.

[@LycanLink]

Oh my gosh, no lie, I thought Billy's face was the face of Steven Crowder all this time (I was dead wrong). I was like, "Wow, what a terrible move for @fter Midnight to bring that doofus on the show." Rest assured, I Googled him, and I now know the difference. 😅

[@nbuehster]

I can't find who the other guest was that got the doll, but RIP.

[@butt.whytho]

Sasheer Zamata

[@posthocprior]

This is very funny.

[@grelgen]

It'll be a crime if that doll doesn't make a career out of being the prize for this show

[@julianpena411]

Murderous panel!

[@jasonflay8818]

Holy shit. This is the biggest star line-up yet.

[@kaelarityy]

nah nico shouldve answered "dont you hate tuesdays? aaaaahhhHHHhHHhHhhhhh"

[@stillhere95]

If Josh, Zac and Brennan don't apppear on this show, then what even is the point?!

[@f.eugenedunnamiii9452]

Why no intros though?

[@nannerz1994]

I can't laugh like this I have bronchitis

[@krisrhodes5180]

"Once my best friend who loves soup ate fast and became a lawyer" -- is that a reference to something? I didn't get it.

[@papacarl2002]

Ok. So this show is really hitting its stride… I’m dying laughing 🤣 🍿 🤔 💕 🤷🏻‍♂️❓and I swear I never really cared for 2 of these humans and don’t even know the other one. So, YEAH for @M and for clips on YT I can watch at my leisure. Rock on TT !! 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

[@justincastillogayray]

Did eBay reject the doll? Also, the easiest way to impersonate Cher is to talk while gargling.

[@iStevie]

But did Pete sell out Oxnard? I need to know!! (Is that the correct spelling?)

[@LD-ky8bo]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dannyburleigh1]

"I don't like hearing DRUG TALK on this show!"

[@postedbyneal]

Pete's answer totally had enough context to stand alone. ugh

[@rafaeljoublanc129]

What the hell, why don't we get to see how they got from 600-700 points to 900-1000??

[@JustinHavelock]

7:31 This is why every straight man needs at least two gay friends.

[@GeoffreyGibson-yh3cv]

I heard Taylor had many haunted dolls

[@DesiBookLover]

"It's a good point"? What the hell?
