Lions, rotisserie chickens, and haunted dolls, oh my! After a brief summer hiatus, After Midnight is back and ready to dole out more memorable prizes. Season 2 of the Taylor Tomlinson-hosted comedy panel game show—a reboot of Comedy Central’s @midnight—premieres tonight on CBS.
Ahead of its sophomore season, After Midnight has released a supercut of all the prizes from Season 1. The zany items include gems like a coupon for a massage from Tomlinson’s ex-boyfriend, a Newton’s cradle, 2009 New Year’s Eve sunglasses, a pet rock with googly eyes, and, of course, Tomlinson’s infamous haunted doll.
The doll, which was originally a gift to Tomlinson from her brother, has become a recurring gag on the show. “It is haunted and I’m sorry, but I need to get rid of it,” she pleaded to the audience. “Nobody look it in the eye.” Unfortunately for her, the doll subsequently “made its way back” to the studio.
Some of the other esteemed prizes highlighted in the video include a pair of boxers signed by Tom Brady that are “legit and worth actual money,” a foul ball Tomlinson caught at a Dodgers game, a rotisserie chicken, and a certificate of graduation from After Midnight University.
Season 2 kicks off on Tuesday with guests Thomas Lennon, Kimia Behpoornia, and Sandy Honig. Guy Branum, Kate Micucci, and James Davis will guest on Wednesday, while Jordan Temple, Will Miles, and Greta Titelman will round out the week as Thursday’s panelists.
After Midnight‘s sophomore season also introduces some new changes. As Deadline first reported on Friday, late-night veteran J.D. Amato—whose past credits include Magic for Humans, The President Show, Desus & Mero, The Chris Gethard Show, and a short stint on The Problem with Jon Stewart—has joined Jack Martin as co-showrunner.
After Midnight airs Monday through Friday at 12:37 a.m. ET on CBS. Episodes are also available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+.
