Olympic Bronze Medalist Frederick Richard Explains NARPs to Comedians

[@terrbikes]

From the miniature couch to the regular couch to this wide couch, she is microdosing herself into a major network talk show host and it’s amazing

[@scottkossack5155]

Next season, 40 foot couch

[@robphoenix1182]

I'm curious where the mini couch is, is it OK? 🤔

[@maryrosekent8223]

@@scottkossack5155 Next season, BarcaLoungers for everyone!

[@AdrianColley]

We called it a tiny couch, but it was actually a microdose couch.

[@AdrianColley]

@robphoenix1182 You can see it on the side table between Taylor and Will.

[@barcelonachair6487]

Frederick Richard seems like the most down to earth and nice young man.

[@jennifermullan4865]

Wait, but what about what the exercises really were? Did they run out of time? Surely we can get the extended cut on KZbin?

[@jodakose]

Agreed, I came here looking for an extended cut with him doing the exercises & thought for sure this would be it. They showed a couple clips during the credits of the episode so he def did them. Huge bummer they didn't post it here tho

[@DroidRagePsycho]

I like getting to know the guests like this. You get a better idea for thier personality.

[@vickylikesthis]

the show slowly morphing to be graham norton and i genuinely love it

[@maryrosekent8223]

Nobody will ever overtake Graham Norton as the _Best Talk Show Host_ of all time! When I was young, it was Dick Cavett, but with the creation of the Internet, Graham has zoomed past *everyone,* including people not even born yet!!!

[@dielaughing73]

Just get everyone drunk (on camera) and we're off

[@MsJmb1980]

That’s a good comparison.

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

Yes, that's exactly what I was going to say! This definitely is more reminiscent of Graham Norton than any of the American late night shows.

[@angelaglaros]

They put Jordan in that separate chair like he’s at the kids table at Thanksgiving

[@ethanmckinney203]

After all of Taylor talking about how horrible it would be for her (personally) to host a talk show, this is surprising. They're easing her into it with three co-interviewers.

[@fakename1656]

I know he is a kid but the narp stuff is just highschool jock stuff continued. I liked the old format, it was just laughs

[@gweebara]

Really interesting couch segment.. I'm not sure I was ready for it

[@mavfan1]

When you’re sure please come back and update us, we’ll all be here waiting!!!!

[@Omaxar]

Agreed. Dyinggg to know if gweebara was ready!!!

[@DOSkywalkR]

What happened at the end there, they seem to have cut out the actual explanation for the workouts? 😅

[@AdrianColley]

Jack was probably yelling "wrap it up, Tomlinson, we're at 13 minutes here!"

[@williamalexander7481]

It was probably boring.

[@dianeatpeace337]

Even if boring, feels like they could've/should've closed the loop -- could've been by giving us a 3-5 second fast forward that would at least answer the question for those of us who cated. After all, they set us up to expect to see it and not seeing it was kinda annoying 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@benchiaase]

Man, it's no fun now that the Talk Show Portion has become serious. Was this a mandate by the network to have a real talk show element?

[@ayshapaige]

This was cool but also strange? I like getting more real with the guests but I think I prefer more spotlight on Taylor 😅

[@aruvaboy1736]

She's still doing monologues in every episode so that's her spotlight. But this talk segment is definitely a plus

[@petecoogan]

After Midnight was always great bc of the density of jokes. This full size couch is just a regular talk show and violates the spirit of after midnight. Sorry to have to say that

[@luizajobim6542]

13 min of talk show portion? they’re forcing taylor to become a talk show host 😭😭😭😭😭 FREE TAYLOR

[@drmarblehornets]

That cab driver knows what’s up. Balkan summer yacht party playlists from 2020 still slap.

[@kstalia]

did they fire the writers?

[@AdrianColley]

Oh, so it looked spontaneous and unscripted to you? Good!

[@divinesleeperagent]

The show format was pretty much perfect last season. It had a good flow from beginning to end. The vibe is totally off now. It's like a show that doesn't know what it wants to be. Why change something that was working? I'm bummed.

[@TabethaAurochs]

If you haven't seen the Olympics spot w/Frederick Richard talking with Kevin Hart & Kenan-the man has jokes, and they're all dragging Kevin 😆 🩵🤍❤️

[@thethirdcrouch]

with all the standing, they need to sit at some point 😂

[@cybrfriends5089]

"you put it on!!!", lol

[@AdrianColley]

I would have. When else are you ever going to get the chance to wear an Olympic medal?

[@cybrfriends5089]

idk, i think i was brought up like taylor. it is hard for me to put on something based on merit if i feel i dont deserve it. like some military or olympic medal. the hard work if symbolizes is too much for my tiny brain.

[@magdalenadrysdale4582]

This was always what I hoped Talor's show would be, basically like Graham Norton but with comedians!

[@RobFoglesong]

That was the exact thought I had

[@scottlovesmoviestoomuch]

@@magdalenadrysdale4582 with respect to your opinion, I’m personally not a fan of the changes. I was enjoying the show more when it was snubbing its nose at talkshow conventions, rather than playing directly into them. It just feels less unique to me this way. just my opinion, though.

[@StaringCompetition]

The comics being real during couch portion now is the thing the show was missing before. You could see the rapport every show previously (for better or worse!) but then speculation and confusion ran rampant as to what it meant. Give them more dimensions. There are those of us who watch these to fall asleep and it’s all good. Laugh, feel better, blissed, sleep. Catch the last in the playlist next time.

[@reg2611]

I love tiny couch! But now that @cbs has given our beloved Taylor a real couch...can you give her a tiny band?!?! Like little minis or lego figures with baby instruments. Please CBS, make our Taylor laugh and smile!

[@GrahmWaters]

NARP solidarity!

[@stephendewees-hz6ui]

I LOVE your new format!

[@kennywilson2129]

Less couch, more comedy. Thank you.

[@Phalxxx]

Couch is fine, if comedy is occurring on it. Interviewing athletes and talking about exercises is very much not comedy.

[@allocater2]

He never showed what the exercises really looked like!

[@Jeffertoya]

ALL the couch segs should be this long PLEASE? thanks.

[@AdrianColley]

Please don't abbreviate like that.

[@Jeffertoya]

[@loverrlee]

Putting four comedians and an Olympic athlete in the same room is wild. Somehow it feels like Olympic athlete is the exact opposite of comedian lol

[@matthewstrand8055]

Filled in the thermometer was a little bit much

[@isawaakuma]

It's funny how many people claim this isn't a good addition... Yet the clips are getting doubles the views vs the average fake gameshow segment

[@jaebee1121]

That would be interesting if it was actually true

[@JeffSchall]

Could "With I go back to school" be a note about a dream she had, that she doesn't recall? And "with" is actually "WTH" ("what the hell")?

[@AdrianColley]

I think it's an autocorrupt of "Would I go back to school?"

[@ethanmckinney203]

"I'd like to play my favorite of your videos, if that's alright ..." "It's PODS summer of storage!" Wow. He makes very strange videos.

NARPs? It explains where Aabria got NAMPs from.

[@Rabhadh-RhymesWithJava]

I was thinking the same thing. I think even in their first AP for that season, Aabria and I think Danielle(?) talked about that name coming from sports, but it's nice to have it confirmed.

Sigh. "After Midnight" is no longer slightly subversive and doing its own little cool thing. Instead, it's become somewhat of a cringefest like the rest.

[@bazzakrak]

Come on, it is only a bronze, he didnt even try hard enough

[@tomkvideo]

Nah, this is weird. It kills the momentum of the fake game show.

[@scottlovesmoviestoomuch]

Yeah, it’s turning what was a unique late night show into basically every other late night show :(

[@Aaliyahchannel2024]

The game show is ridiculously lame. The guests are literally just reading the "answers" the wrote4s have written for them. It's not enough their own orginal response it's boring. A conversation like this works better.

[@SharonRaeRyan]

Okay I see why he was picked for this show after seeing the bush bit

[@petecoogan]

Tyler is trying to go full talk show. Get back to the games

[@maryrosekent8223]

Taylor-Tyler was the 10th President of the United States…

[@untexan]

Nah, I don’t want to watch another talk show no matter who is hosting it or who is on it. What’s next, musical guests? Political humor that just makes everybody too anxious and angry to go to sleep? This segment is 13 minutes. Add the monologue, and take out all the commercial time and we're at about 50% talk show. This is not it.

[@Phalxxx]

Please keep this show for comedians. Athletes are not known for being funny inherently. He seems like a nice guy but I watch humorous shows for humor, and this guy was not.

[@KG-gy3uc]

Just become any old boring talk show.

[@KKAkuoku]

Yeah, this feels like a letdown after all that talk about pantless cartoon characters.

[@Aaliyahchannel2024]

This should be the whole show!!!!!!! The game show stuff is so lame. Taylor is great host and deserves the talk format.

[@aruvaboy1736]

I agree. Don't know why so many comments are preferring the game only. I do like the game portion and it should start right after the monologue, but it should end sooner for this talk segment.
