[@bradcarter-rt7sm]

"Who gave you permission to perceive me?!" is the most relatable thing I have ever heard

[@TabethaAurochs]

Nothing else comes close

[@TabethaAurochs]

Nothing else comes close

[@Terrafire123]

3:15 "Younger comedians are watching this show in order to try to take your place." Taylor: "COME FOR ME. TAKE MY JOB. I NEED A NAP." Oh my god, Taylor. That was goddamn hilarious. The amount of longing in your voice when you said you needed a break was unbelievable.

[@Swagthousand]

I'm curious if it was a Chris Hardwick dig. I've been to the Hearst mansion and it was the worst place in the world.

[@TheLiveactiongamer]

Can we all give props to who ever manages this channel. Thank you so much for putting each episode in a playlist!

[@DaeDaeDotNet]

YASSSSS MOTHA/FATTHA YASSSSS ❤❤❤❤❤

[@allocater2]

playlists are a forgotten art form

[@_DerdniK_]

“Who gave you permission to perceive me?” 🤣🤣🤣

[@dominicrusso4057]

*insert Bassem thirst comment here*

[@Amy-kr4tc]

I cracked up so many times w a “ooohhh dammm” face!

[@Amy-kr4tc]

I also think ur discussing Turd Ferguson!!??

[@aliengranpa]

His last name is Youssef? I used to work at Youssef's deli! Best gyro in Chicago!

[@wallberlin]

​@@Amy-kr4tcTurd Ferguson . . . It's a funny name.

[@briestoll]

I was coming to say how gorgeous Middle Eastern Robin Williams is his green eyes are killing me

[@martensjd]

Bassem: there are several towns in the US named Gaylord, so small town America seems to accept the fact that Jesus is gay.

[@ashumz88]

This has fast become my favorite show.

[@jamiegdubois]

Me too! I only found it like a week ago by complete accident but I love it!

[@angelaglaros]

I always enjoyed the previous version but this is SO much better.

[@TheLinneann]

I remember when Bassem was Egyptian Jon Stewart!! Wild to see him here.

[@JordiVanderwaal]

"I'm volatile, unpredictable and I'm a chronic pain in the butt" Love this xddd

[@tompepper4789]

I have noted the name Bassem, and think we will be seeing more of him in the future. He has talent.

[@ppleeatpple]

He isn't that well known in America but he is actually very famous and popular. He was the Jon Stewart of Egypt until he had to flee

[@farnaddarnell3926]

Bassem?! Now that is cool!

[@chuckenergy]

amazing booking 🤓

[@Boogaboom5]

Love this panel… Bassem! 🥰🤣

[@Rey.89]

Shout out to Bassam for the middle east joke 😅😅 So so true for anyone who has lived in middle East 😢

[@ems3376]

I love Bassem. What a get! 😮

[@udit9957]

This is probably one of the best episodes.. the guests are hilarious.. and there is never a dull moment

[@dhussconsulting]

Unexpected demographic: Chris Hardwick

[@jessicalawson1417]

‘This message is sponsored by the Hearst family’

[@glowingfatedie]

M. Night Shyamalan: "Never let them know your next move?" He only has one move!

[@mikesell123]

7:46 actual feeling of happiness that lasts until (hopefully forever) 7:56 where it blossomed to "yeah, i am badass"

[@roadrider_2771]

Bassem is my favorite! I had to watch the entire episode on the Paramount app. 🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍

[@user-ud6ui7zt3r]

I think it’s great when someone from the Middle East shows the whole world, and especially his own countrymen, how to laugh, and how to “chill out” and laugh with others. I think it was Mark Twain who said that laughter is mankind’s greatest weapon.

[@robesdebah4811]

Do you know what his opening salvo is in English. I've been combing thru the comments and you seemed like a reasonable person to ask. Dude oozes charisma.

[@1gamz]

Taylor's blazers❤

[@colinmays8811]

"I am the vine, you are the branches. But sometimes the branches need to be pruned for the vine to flourish." - Jesus breaking up with that guy

[@jamiegdubois]

This is great! 😂

[@user-zi7no6rn2u]

Only a minute and a half in with the intros and I'm loving these guests.

[@NY-rg3gy]

Glad to see Bassem! He is a true hero for his work in Egypt for democracy

[@davidquintanilla3267]

As soon as I saw Bassem I was so excited !!!! I loved him on the daily show !!!

[@Paax2]

Bassem is the funniest by quite a margin on this panel.

[@ThatOpalGuy]

this time, certainly, but Jay was doing a great job as well.

[@Jajajajaja...1]

​@@ThatOpalGuyI find Jay to be notoriously unfunny

[@petecoogan]

That Bob Ferguson but was a plot line in season 5 of Fargo

[@materialgrl2000]

Thank you for teaching me slugging lol 🤣

[@LexTan]

This episode made me a Bassem Youssef fan.

[@nbuehster]

1:54 What?? lol 2:57 When I heard that, I thought he was going to be @dam in disguise. lmfao

[@siminaghit8793]

Bassem has no business being so handsome !

[@Blissfulbizz]

Bassem is KILLING !!!

[@magdalenadrysdale4582]

I'm sorry I'm not an old lady Taylor but I always like your outfits you look fantastic

[@valap_]

I AM an old lady and she always looks cute as a button.

[@benchiaase]

My God, these guys are hilarious!

[@trin.mal0ne]

"Fkn come for me, I need a nap!"

[@hanifnahian]

Finally, after doing four Netflix specials, Taylor has made it…!!!

[@Amy-kr4tc]

No shade… but you know she actually made it the second she stepped on “stage” at church!

[@pantitapalittapongarnpim1581]

I mean, every one is fire, but Bassem is FIRE fire.

[@threepiecefishandchips]

one of the best Group Chat segments in recent memory and I'm not just saying that because I commented on that Reddit post

[@thedrizzle619]

lol Im also on that sub

[@bdwon]

Taylor IS the best! She should replace the Jeopardy guy, the Wheel of Fortune guy and maybe even Drew Carey

[@NS-cs3wp]

Bassem is the quip goat.

[@R.T_W]

Bassem , so haappy to see him here

[@ketsuekidahlia]

Hell yeah Bassem ftw!

[@DaeDaeDotNet]

9:56 my mom 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@samuelernestdotcom]

the trinity joke!!!! lmaooooo

[@user-zi7no6rn2u]

Holy shit was this a funny clip. Funniest panel yet.

[@mychannel-lp9iq]

GOOD LUCK YA BAAAASEEEEEEEEM!

[@jamiegdubois]

Not gonna lie, I low-key want that top hat

[@danbbrandon]

I thought about buying one once, but they can be wicked expensive.

[@WallebyDamned]

Right? It's a worthwhile prize

[@---l---]

fantastic

[@yocean14]

I've gotten to know Bassem via TikTok pleaching sense to Pierce Morgan's melty face and I'm so happy to see him in action!!!

[@christiannoellecharles1205]

6:35 & 7:37 Perfection

[@ruddytuesday]

Bessem is on FIRE

[@JGComments]

This guy must be so happy.

[@kenshinjenna]

First time I saw the prize and thought - hell yeah! I'd actually audition for the show... if they took auditions....and if regular hats actually fit my head.

[@Jeffertoya]

It's not just that I'm high, right? Bassem is a damn sexy man, right? Just me? Ok but it's gotta make more sense than the Jack Black thing, right? RIGHT?!

[@Updog89]

The Jack Black thing makes perfect sense and you know it 🥵

[@jaimicottrill2831]

Yesss to both of them!

[@JoellePretty]

Bassem!!!

[@Jay-em9hb]

I was in jail when @midnight was on. They used to repeat all the episodes on Sundays I During my free time so I always got caught up.

[@samvimes117]

My suggestion would be my other favourite new year's eve film(after when harry met sally)the apartment.

[@scarlettuwu9582]

I have to wonder, If the show title was changed to “After Colbert” would it get more views?

[@TheToothlessPhilosopher]

You got Bassem? Wow.

[@josefmanga]

Didn't the guy have any friends before 18 to learn empathy from?

[@PaulSDoize]

#TaylorTomlinson #AfterMidnight #Comedy I liked #TaylorTomlinson's facial expression to Toddy Barry's answer at 7:47! And #TaylorTomlinson looks great in purple.

[@Emanon...]

Bassem is great. And an amazing, intelligent man when it comes to discussing the injustice in Palestine.

[@JeffSchall]

Jay's homophobia joke was amusing. Though I would swear that Todd Barry came out of the closet several years ago. Am I misremembering this? I can't find it online. Does anyone remember this happening? Also, in the D.C. area, slugging is basically hitchhiking to your government job from the suburbs to avoid paying outrageous tolls for not having enough people in your car.

[@rgs8970]

Todd Glass came out years ago. Perhaps you are conflating your Todd [5-letter-last-name] comedians?

[@JeffSchall]

@@rgs8970 Ahhhh. You might be right. Apologies to Todd Barry for calling him gay. Not that there's anything wrong with it. #UnexpectedSeinfeld

[@savethezombies]

Junkyard Wars are another good type of war. Hey! Can yall bring back Junkyard Wars too?

[@yocean14]

re: complimets --I really love the color of Taylor' Pants-suit.

[@samvimes117]

Over the last 6 months, basam has stolen my heart.H but that's not a surprise as it is a former heart surgeon

[@DominicKnight]

Bassem is more famous than you outside America, Barry.

[@martensjd]

I think in the US too.

[@_DerdniK_]

Ok but… he… was… joking. See, on this show people make jokes, it’s actually all that this show is the entire way through. In addition to Todd Barry not actually thinking he’s the most famous person on that stage, Bassem also didn’t actually think he was on Al Jazeera…that too, wait for it…was just a joke.

[@martensjd]

@@_DerdniK_ Oh thank god; I thought no one would be kidding around.

[@dielaughing73]

Doesn't count though

[@mariebrown4966]

Bassem!

[@JediMobius]

Why's this dude trying to give me Marvel crossover nightmares as a way to introduce himself?

[@_DerdniK_]

Anyone else think of Fargo season 5 when they talked about the story of the 3 Bob Fergusons running for office? Bob Ferguson = Roy Tillman

[@passion_proh-jects]

'it's A Bob Eat Bob World'... ...I've seen that one. It's not as good as it sounds.

[@dielaughing73]

I prefer the sequel

[@dianalorani1910]

No no no Taylor, that's not JUST a top hat......that top hat has a FEATHER

[@ThatOpalGuy]

good luck getting christ to pay his half of the rent.

[@cutenekko]

Bassem is hilarious. If you need a break Taylor, get Bassem to guest host.

[@seed_drill7135]

I'm not Bob Ferguson any more, I'm Turd. Turd Ferguson. It's a funny name.

[@jeffsites7351]

Depends on how early my morning has to be... If not I watch on demand

[@andrewwhite1305]

In fact there are 47 Bob Fergusons and they're all secret assassins

[@RedMusicMagic]

SLLUG- when I was in college, it meant Sarah Lawrence Lesbian Until Graduation. Vaseline optional 😝

[@fernlovebond]

Also an ex-con, but watching outside.

[@JDMimeTHEFIRST]

When no one is attracted to you, there’s always Jesus. Wait, isn’t the Bob Ferguson thing like the last season of Fargo? 😅

[@chrisvainio]

Dope looking top hat. That’s probably worth $50.

[@jacquesduranceau8762]

Ok, it got better...

[@dps8629]

Still needs some work but that fake laugh is getting better Taylor!

[@claiminglight]

Dang did Bassem just stand up for Chris?

[@karendinkel9040]

Compliments from old people and toddlers are for real, yo

[@dielaughing73]

I assume they're forced to watch it as punishment 😭

[@M_C79]

Poor Taylor, condemned by her own excellence.

[@AmetafJohora]

BASSEM YOUSSEF???

[@Jajajajaja...1]

Todd Barry and Tom Papa are the same person. Prove me wrong.

[@JordiVanderwaal]

An X-men fan? Yass

[@mipmipmipmipmip]

Bassem? Shouldn't we first get to know em?

[@J_C_Richard96]

I know ole Johnny boy be torn , Its The Daily Shows past Vs The Problems past

[@josefmanga]

I have no idea who Todd Barry is?

[@ru2def]

3:33 "come for me, I'd love a break" I mean we've all been there on a date...

[@coreywall1977]

I know Bassem not Todd

[@andrew66862]

Sorry Todd, but Bassem is more famous now.

[@petecoogan]

When gen x hits 80 you can't make those old people jokes anymore. We have never acted our age. Answer me this, how can I have 2 kids, 17 and 21, and still be 12 years old (I said poop, heh heh heh)

[@briansneary7535]

thumb war?

[@backelie]

I wish there were a polite way to express how I feel about this show. Taylor's standup is great, and I don't begrudge her getting that bag, but as a comedy fan this is incredibly sad.
