Farewell James Corden, hello Taylor Tomlinson. CBS unveiled its new late-night show, After Midnight, last night in the time slot following The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

The actor appeared on The Tonight Show for a little song and dance Jimmy Fallon probably wakes up every day grateful that the SAG strike is over. How else could he fill The Tonight Show‘s air time with skits about insanely tight pants and convince Matthew McConaughey to be part of it? In a remarkably silly sketch, McConaughey joined Fallon for a number titled “Tight Pants,” where the duo donned — you guessed it — tight white pants and sang about it. Also wearing wigs and striped blue shirts, the…

The pair played a game called "Friendzee" on The Tonight Show Tina Fey stopped by The Tonight Show to promote the Mean Girls musical movie and host Jimmy Fallon challenged her to a new game called “Friendzee.” The game basically involves trying to guess the name of a mutual pal by asking random and “not helpful” questions from a pile of cards.

Stephen Colbert bravely allowed Nicki Minaj to change her song lyrics to be about him during an appearance on The Late Show in 2018 and he’s now the subject of a new tune. During an interview on the late-night show, Minaj offered Colbert a new opportunity to battle rap her. In the clip, Colbert queried Minaj about her new album, Pink Friday 2, and its setting Gag City.
