Comedian Taylor Tomlinson to host new CBS late-night show "After Midnight." Here's what to know about her.

Taylor Tomlinson will host a new late-night show airing on CBS called "After Midnight," a new incarnation of Comedy Central's "@midnight," Stephen Colbert, host of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," announced during his show on Wednesday.

Colbert first told his audience that there would be a new late-night show and described the ideal host as someone "fun, likable, young, in touch with online trends and available every night of the week." When he called for suggestions from the audience, Tomlinson raised her hand and joked that she could host. After a few jokes back and forth and an enthusiastic response from the audience, Colbert called Tomlinson up to the stage and introduced her as the official host of the new show. 

"Please welcome the newest late-night host, Taylor Tomlinson!" Colbert cheered.
