[@sophiekaufman7349]

we love this monologue opener, ups the energy and sets the tone!!

[@pierfrancescocosta6336]

I feel like 2-3 minutes is the right length for it, too!

[@sissy7351]

Agreed

[@Altmetalpunk]

It's similar to how Jimmy Carr intros his panel shows. I think it helps.

[@DixieTsutsaeva]

YES!!! KEEP THE MINI MONOLOGUE!!!

[@mx.olivia]

“with the labor or people I’ve never met I can accomplish anything on my own” 😂 nailed it

[@copernicofelinis]

Now it's worth waiting for the videos to come out on YT. Keep the monologue!

[@naivenostalgia]

Is the monologue not on the TV version?

[@copernicofelinis]

@@naivenostalgia what's a "TV"? 😎

[@valeriedubach882]

Flo and the dean is the combination I never knew I needed

[@alittlepieceofearth]

And they have such great chemistry, right?

[@deviljon]

Plus Elfo!

[@michaeln9931]

Stephanie’s anger at not getting as many points as the others is palpable and justified haha

[@mathi3933]

Yesss! It is!!

[@wordzmyth]

Yeah behind from the beginning no matter what hmmm wut?

[@savingsysiphus3997]

Mentally well enough to stay off my phone. . . On my phone at 5 am.

[@SansSelf]

I work overnights and I still feel like this ... at 5:30am or so

[@connell8]

I love that Jim Rash has an Oscar but his by line is “He’s known from Community!” 😂❤❤ #sixseasonsandamovie

[@stoveeats]

Poor Nat Faxon has that same Oscar but doesn't even warrant a mention.

[@connell8]

@@stoveeats I have to admit I wrote the comment before I finished watching the clip! I’ve been meaning to come back and leave a comment of my own calling out my Nat miss!! 😂 he definitely deserves the mention too!

[@user-zy5dp8fl8n]

I mean he was a good Dean!

[@rbrearey]

I said good day, Fenton

[@ethanmckinney203]

I have only one request for the producers: bring back "This is After Midnight, the only late-night comedy show that ..."

[@AdrianColley]

"J Crew Vin Diesel" - ouch, he'll stay indoors until he has a new look, when he hears that!

[@rehnaanliker5931]

The monologue is awesome! I think it’s brings you into the show more

[@joncsoriano5163]

Love the new intro.. a lil bit of stand up before the fake game show... love u Taylor!!!

[@mikecito1717]

Entertaining monologs, fun crowd work, great guests with a longer talk show portion = even better show. Keep it up! And that suit color is 🔥 on Taylor

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

OMG, this is the first time I've ever seen Flo from the Progressive commercials (coincidentally, I paid my Progressive bill today) outside of those commercials! And also the first time I've ever heard her real name before.

[@chovue2363]

its a special treat when i know about all 3 contestants. 😌

[@Rulex5]

Yes, yes and yes. Love the new monologue intros. This show is getting better and better

[@landonewts]

It’s nice to get to know Stephanie a little bit outside her advertising work, she’s really cool.

[@seed_drill7135]

I think she was a Groundling before the Progressive gig.

[@gsnayl]

Her standup is decent

[@alexanderhancock525]

Love the new format, it's so much fun! The monologue is excellent❣

[@alittlepieceofearth]

It's Flo and the Dean!!!! This brings me joy!

[@davidmerrell5561]

This show has really exceeded my expectations! You’ve nabbed some amazing guests, and the jokes always crack me up 😂

[@BlueLantern503]

Wow this show has editor who pay attention. Nat got the acronym wrong but the editor made it work. That's what you call attention to details 👏👏👏👏👏

[@AdrianColley]

What was edited? I didn't notice.

[@BlueLantern503]

@@AdrianColley the text on the screen Nat said my heart and My Sunshine which didn't work with the acronym. The editor flipped the 2 words so it did.

[@suites.74]

They make the jokes before hand

[@kasualkombat6404]

One of the best episodes of the show

[@dcworld1076]

Its so much better with the monologues Taylor should have done them from the start

[@billyghostal]

Maybe it will slowly turn into the late night talk show we were promised

[@jonathanbaird]

@@billyghostal First, you were never promised that - ever. Second, Taylor has stated repeatedly that she doesn't want to host a talk show.

[@krisrhodes5180]

I do like this monologue, I felt the previous one went WAY too long. Just a quick few jokes on one topic is perfect IMO.

[@wordzmyth]

Should have been given them. And hope she gets more creative power to go with how she is knocking this outt of the park.

[@KurtMueller]

Jim Rash with a mustache... I feel more nostalgia for Dean Pelton from Community than I do Woody from Toy Story.

[@user-zy5dp8fl8n]

Big Dean energy here too lolol

[@AndyMcKenna17]

I love the idea that they started this as a fake game show and slowly morphed it into a regular talk show.

[@Arcturuseyes]

5:29 an entire bad day happened in about 20 seconds...lol

[@carina9295]

yeah she needed Flo

[@jaebee1121]

My brain is having trouble with the concept that Flo is not a real person and this real person is not Flo.

[@user-zy5dp8fl8n]

Woulda been great cross promotional synergy if they had on Jake from state farm and the Doug-limu emu guy lololol

[@googiegress]

@@user-zy5dp8fl8n Or Mister Clean!

[@GlowingTrashPanda99]

@user-zy5dp8fl8n I feel like if that happened, it would result in a fight to the death…

[@TurtlesOnIce]

@@GlowingTrashPanda99 - Not when the Gekko shows up... the fight would be over...

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

When I was working at Walt Disney World a couple of years ago, I once had a guest tell me that I looked like Tom Hanks. I've always assumed that's a compliment, even though I am a lot younger than he is.

[@beaudwayful]

THank you for explaining the beef, as a WW2 history lovin' Dad.

[@fancifuldevices]

I’m loving these monologue openings!!

[@JeffSchall]

"There's a DJ Snake in my boot!" Turn Down For HUH?! Also, Nat = if Sloth and Seth Meyers had a baby.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

Dean Pelton, my old crush (Flo), my new crush (TT), and Big Nat? Can already tell this’ll be a great episode!

[@MyBiPolarBearMax]

My exact thoughts

[@cyface]

Stephanie’s rotisserie chicken line was excellent

[@Kittykatt13]

LOVE the monologue!!! Really like the contestants reading their own answers in the final round. Great changes!!

[@molf9a]

After Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash only leaves me wanting more of the community cast on the panel. The green dale seven. I want all of them

[@jessicalawson1417]

Love the monologue!!!

[@AnnaCarlson-b9u]

I enjoy Taylor's monologue, please keep it!

[@carina9295]

Darn it, @m should’ve reunited Flo from Progressive with Lily from AT&T

[@carina9295]

or at least Bobby Bottlservice #GEICO

[@jaygeeeeee]

+ Jake from State Farm!?!?

[@warriorwarrior4958]

reunited?

[@chriswest6988]

The key to the diet is to pick the lemon pepper rotisserie chicken. That way it also counts as a serving of fruit!

[@AdrianColley]

You could just add ketchup. Tomato is a fruit.

[@wirelesmike73]

I like the opening monologues. More of this, you guys.

[@lisadawne]

omg is that moby!!!!!??? AHAHA! what another awesome set of panelists 😂

[@justins21482]

nat saying he matched with sloth from goonies...I nearly spit my drink out on that one.

[@jaebee1121]

Y'all spoiled us with the longer monologue yesterday and today's feels too short.

[@AdrianColley]

You can't expect it to be great every time.

[@wordzmyth]

​@@AdrianColleythey weren't say it wasn't great. Just short

[@lauraroberts7390]

Big Business! Lol, love that movie

[@carynw2625]

Such a good joke

[@jishhd]

Blindsided by the "pee is stored in the balls" reference. God, this show 👏

[@jbachman01]

Love the monologue! Gives us more Taylor

[@barrettpickett5603]

Mom is charging me because I am laughing hysterically. No comment look away. Luckily the ditch wasn't filled with water.

[@DarthD00bius]

Toilet paper roll on the counter could mean laziness, but it could also mean they own a pet that keeps unrolling the whole roll when it's on the holder.

[@maryrosekent8223]

Taylor, you’re absolutely wonderful! If I had had a child, I would have hoped she would have been much like you!

[@giantnerd14]

I demand a longer cut of the show!

[@CarlosRodriguez-dd4sb]

They say that if you can make Taylor laugh you get to use the Fast Pass lane at the pearly gates After midnight We're gonna let it all hang out After midnight We're gonna chug-a-lug and shout

[@curtislindsey1736]

Chet Hanks looks like a young Paul Shaffer!😅

[@rainbomg]

THIS PANEL IS ADORBZ

[@loshay3325]

The Dean, the Swede, and Flo is such an iconic trio

[@AdrianColley]

Big D.S.F. energy

[@mariahpowell3578]

Taylor, I always look forward to your business suit game. This one is my favorite so far! Takes me back to my wedding colors in 2008, and my mermaid era that followed my divorce 😅 if you ever need somewhere to send hand-me-downs, HMU 😂

[@claescarlstrom6925]

Ooh, a monologue from Taylor! Nice!

[@mrgonzale0978]

I like this intro. they should keep it.

[@bainuo]

Wow Jim Rash really is the Dean

[@KKAkuoku]

Loving the tightened-up monologue! Last night’s dragged a little.

[@bdwon]

Needs to tighten up more

[@rebekahbrown9964]

loving these monologues yall

[@aartadventure]

Great monologue! Kudus to all involved in the writing.

[@MM-ud1xf]

Two Oscar winners on the stage!

[@nicgarcia497]

I was going to say the same thing! 👍

[@pierfrancescocosta6336]

9:53 So, is Nat basically trying to re-act "It Follows" in real life? 😅

[@Altmetalpunk]

I honestly wish this show was on cable or streaming exclusive because id love to see some of these comedians be able to let loose more, or at least have less edited out.

[@torgbot3153]

oh yay! I hope they keep the Taylor opening segment

[@Palidine4M0O]

steve erkel wants his pants back? XD, damn costume room again

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

I love Jim Rash. Him and Nat are awesome. Don’t know much about Stephanie, sorry I also loved Big Business growing up (They could be Lily Tomlin, but they’d still have to get Nat and someone to be Bette Middler)

[@gunnarcolleen2400]

Love the opening tight 2

[@GDletterwriter]

The intros make it seem like a real game show. 😊

[@efuller3333]

👏🏼Stephanie!!

[@timfallas9347]

Stephanie looks so much like Whitney Cummings here. Almost forgot she was Flo.

[@molf9a]

I love that Jim Rash is the only panelist who has also been a joke in the game (To the Hashtag Wars of “#AllergyCelebs”)

[@FerdinandCesarano]

Jim Rash = national treasure. He is as delightful and ss as beloved as Fred Willard was.

[@AtoZFarm]

I dig the monologue but I miss the contestants getting to introduce themselves. Also didn't this used to be a game show where people buzzed in with answers instead of being called on? Are the CBS execs caving to the "why isn't this a talk show?" crowd? Hey CBS, many of us that have been devoted viewers since day 1 were big fans of @midnight and are watching precisely because it isn't a talk show.

[@lb5368]

❤Jim Rash

[@dimitreze]

Jim and Nat are Oscar winners for The Descendants

[@manilkasheran2934]

I mean if microplastics are in your balls you just have to radically accept yourself! 😂

Taylor was the CORRECT recast of the host

[@Lily-cl6zk]

Taylor is such a Millenial

[@Danny_DaKid]

Why you take away the buzzers?

[@WilliamSlavis-jx9ys]

P.S. I figured out that your guests get to see the videos and questions prior to shooting, but that fourth wall break doesn't bother me because they write their own material solo or in tandem with your writers. It don't bother me one bit.

[@Rkcuddles]

Stop micro-dosing me. Come on!

[@dizmix]

"Mentally well enough to stay off your phone" I feel seen.

[@TSIRKLAND]

I legit' actually prefer to keep my T.P. on the counter, rather than on the wall holder. It's easier to pick up and roll off that way, in my opinion. Others may disagree and that's fine. It's my TP, I can do what I want!

[@benktubes]

Once again the booking department proves they know how to put a panel together like nobody else
