The Late Late Present With James Corden Is Being Changed With A Reboot Of @Midnight, Chris Hardwick Reportedly Not Returning

The unique incarnation of “@midnight” noticed a three-guest panel (often comedians) talk about present occasions by competing in a collection of improv video games like “eBay Worth Is Proper,” “JuggalOK Cupid,” and “Tumblr? I Hardly Know Her.” After all, there was additionally arguably the most well-liked sport, “Hashtag Wars,” which might interact with those that weren’t watching, however merely scrolling by Twitter. However because the present resulted in 2017, web developments have modified and new social media platforms have risen to prominence. So whereas video games like these are prone to make a comeback as soon as the revival surfaces, we could not see these actual video games.

Equally, we possible will not see former host Chris Hardwick both. The Deadline report notes particularly that he “will not be anticipated to have direct involvement.” And there is a good cause for that. In 2018, ex-girlfriend Chloe Dykstra got here ahead about Hardwick’s historical past of emotional and sexual abuse. The podcaster, comic, and popular culture character was unseated from his roles as San Diego Comedian-Con moderator, Nerdist figurehead, and “Speaking Lifeless” host. Although AMC reinstated him following an investigation (which included a legislation agency employed by the household of his spouse, Lydia Hearst), they’ve principally been the one entities that will proceed an expert relationship. Along with his previously lively social media and his once-prominent podcast laying dormant, he has largely pale into obscurity at this level.

With Hardwick out, this presents an excellent alternative for an up-and-coming or under-utilized comedian expertise. Chances are high that we be taught of the brand new host for “@midnight” sooner moderately than later. However within the meantime, would possibly I counsel Randall Park, Jameela Jamil, or Nicole Byer as potential hosts? Severely, let’s add some extra folks of colour to the late-night panorama. Please and thanks.
