Late Late Show Format Axed, Replaced By @Midnignt Reboot

[ZariusTwo]

CBS is shaking up the late-night landscape by bringing back an old Comedy Central format to replace The Late Late Show with James Corden, ending The Late Late Show franchise after almost three decades, we have learned.

No one would comment, but we hear that a reboot of @midnight, a series that ran for 600 episodes on Comedy Central from 2013-17, has been chosen for the 12:30 a.m. time slot currently occupied by The Late Late Show.

It comes as Corden is putting away his late-night desk later this spring, as revealed by Deadline last year.

We hear that Stephen Colbert is to exec produce the new incarnation of @midnight, which comes from comedy brand Funny or Die, the company behind the original series on Comedy Central. That would give The Late Show host/executive producer another hour of late-night that he is involved in (in addition to also exec producing Comedy Central series Tooning Out the News and Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God.
