I’m glad Taylor has found the space to do monologues. This is what I was most excited about when steven Colbert announced she would have a late night show
And her commentary on the monologues during the monologues is next level. She’s so comfortable with it, it’s fantastic to watch. My favourite a while back was when the show went off the rails and she said “I’m going to go back to the teleprompter now, and it IS going to feel jarring” 😂
Same. I was quite surprised it turned out to be a game show. Thought it would be like other late night shows with guests and so on. I was so ready for that. At least I get these monologues.
it’s just because it stopped the immersion and it was harder to suspend the disbelief. also, it feels a little lazier. you’re so right, tho, i laugh when people say stuff like that imagine the dedication it would’ve shown if the movie was shot in latin lmaoooo
Yeah, Denzel didn't take me out of the movie at all. But that guy's video seemed more like a clever way for him to present his Denzel impression than actual criticism.
It really is great to have a female comedian in a late night show! It's kind of crazy that hasn't been the norm until now. Love Taylor and I'm happy to see her career doing well. She's really talented and amazing, she really deserves some time to shine!
THANK YOU... it needed to be said. Love how internet people can have such a problem with two people who had the time of their lives, did their dream role and found a family of people along the way. If you have a problem with that that's on you.
@@ANDIBO987 Happy? She is perpetually in shambles. Between Cynthia's fake nails and her hair cut, I can only imagine that she's crying because she doesn't have any way to phone home.
I love laughing about the wicked's unabashed preciousness (the "space thing went right over my head) --And at the same time-- feeling delightfully happy for their unabashed joy
As someone who's old enough to remember when the original Gladiator came out... people had problems with the accents in that movie too. And I still don't know what the issue is. It's ancient Rome, they shouldn't be speaking English in the first place. Who cares what accent the actors use. British accents aren't any more "Roman" than American ones. And if anything, a mix of accents makes sense. Ancient Rome was a mishmash of cultures and ethnic groups.
Well, I remember when the original “Ben Hur” movie came out. (Not really, but play along with me here.) There was no controversy about the accents then, because it was a silent movie.
@@EmoDragracer Hrm... Gotta keep context and relativity in mind here. I don't have after midnight's audience demographics in front of me, but i'd guess the average age is closer to 24 than legit grandpa. Somewhere around Taylor's age perhaps. Is she old enough to remember the original release ? What % of her fans are ? Suely less than the general population. As fans discussing the show, that demographic is part of our context.🖖
So glad you changed the formate to open the show with your standup. Your core fans are delighted. Hopefully, eventually you will have an actual late night talk show. You’ll be terrific.
Everybody crapping on Denzel for his accent but not a single actor talks with his hands in any ancient Roman movie. Can you imagine Italians not talking with their hands?
People complained about the sharks, which can be found anywhere, but not about the chocolate, which only existed in the Americas? That's some historical accuracy buffs there! 😄
My gut reaction was that Cynthia did not know what the interviewer meant when she said "taking the lyrics of Defying Gravity and really holding space with it."
Yeah that long, awkward silence was definitely the actors waiting for the interviewer to elaborate, and the interviewer not elaborating at all and instead letting them "hold space" of their own for a hot minute lol "Woowwww I didn't know that the people online were doing, uh, doing that." "Yep." "Woooooowwwwww" ... [finger hold] ... "I'm so in awe that they're, uh, they're doing...whatever THAT is...wooowww"
She could be the scandalous American cousin who got sent to stay with her English relatives to quell rumours of her many love affairs with men and women
I was part of the live audience at this show at Paramount Studios, and it was amazing! She’s incredibly talented-you guys should go see her perform live!
My entire waking life for the past ten years has been: making pizza, playing video games, watching people play video games, and now, watching After Midnight, so it's nice to have this window into current events. Thank you, Taylor. 😅
I love this, not gonna see either movie, but it is fun to hear about them. Taylor's takes are exactly what I wanna hear sometimes. Temecula is a nice town, I lived in San Diego, and we would pop up there once in awhile, very nice as a tourist. Guess not so nice as a resident.
as a kid i would watch old movies on... TBS or something and i just LOVED it when the supporting actors had theater training and used their native English or trained "Mid-Atlantic" accents (movies from the 30's to 60's) and then the upcoming Hollywood star in the lead role just had their New York or Midwestern accent. Tony Curtis takes the cake and MAKES ME SO HAPPY in Spartacus: some masterful thespian playing a general, sarcastically reading off his skills as a personal attendant slave as tries to join Spartacus revolt as a soldier: "...and for whoom did you practice these wonderouuusss talents?" Tony in his total NYC/Brooklyn badass: "Fo my masta's childrren, whom I also twought tha classics." 😂 it's da best!!
The Wicked press tour has been such a circus. It's been really entertaining to watch. 😂 I did cry during "Defying Gravity" and at the end of the movie so what do I know?
Why is Taylor so clutch..? You're on my top 6 woman... Josh Johnson, Aunty Donna, James Acaster, Randy Feltface, Fern Brady, and last but definitely most; Taylor Tomlinson... These are the comics I WILL see play a gig before I die. You've been preemptively notified-- Please, please, please play Omaha, NE again..?
I see Josh Johnson and Taylor Tomlinson on your top 6, and I immediately look up the other four you mentioned. I don't know any of these 4 so thank you for sharing! I'm excited to watch Fern Brady's special on Apple+ tonight and check out the rest in due time.
Nobody speaking Modern English sounds like an ancient Roman. So if you want to make the accents authentic, have the characters all speak Latin. I’m sure all 16 people who sit through that version will be very appreciative.
0:55 If someone got in front of the audience at a Rocky Horror Picture Show screening and tried to do this, they'd be drawn and quartered in the parking lot outside. TO THIS DAY! You would not do that. If screenings of Wicked started accumulating a fanbase that got all dressed up as witches and did off key sing alongs? I'd pay to see and hear that especially if it comes with free booze.
And yes, I'm that old. I remember what it's like to do audience participation at RHPS and hundreds of geeks and junkies band together to sing off key as loud as possible. You have not lived until you scream "SAY IT!" in between "antici-" and ""-pation" (or "-consti-"). Future generations should find a similar movie to galvanize. I don't recommend RHPS for the 21st century. Time has not been kind to Rocky, but if Wicked is y'all's cup of tea? SING IT! Put on your magic red shoes and dance the freaking blues! Keep! Hope! Alive!
I wish you would add custom captions to these for hard of hearing people. I could have sworn the one's in the past had great captions one of the reasons I thought this was good. But now only auto generated are available.
Okay, I gotta call BS on this whole accent thing. Yeah, Denzel's accent wasn’t Roman, but neither was anyone else’s. Since when do we all agree that Romans need to have some quasi-proper British accent? It’s Rome-they spoke Latin. So unless someone’s speaking actual Latin, nobody’s got the ‘proper’ accent 😂.
this!!! i swear to god, people for some reason think a more “historically accurate” or a more “proper” accent is always a british or borderline british one, no matter the time period, the geographical location or the native language in that place/time. i get it, british english existed before american english, so there’s the association of “british = old”. but let’s not pretend that it is “proper” lmfaoo i can only imagine a project where a movie like this is shot in the language it should be. it’s super impractical, but it would be so badass to see a movie about the roman empire in latin lmao. the accent would surely still be off, and i bet everything i have the latin would be inconsistent/badly translated/inaccurate and a mix of different eras of latin, but it would be cool as hell
@chargestone96 I get where you're coming from, but let’s dig deeper. Denzel Washington’s accent stands out, sure-but isn’t that the point? The Roman Empire was incredibly diverse, spanning from North Africa to the British Isles and all over. It makes sense that people from different regions would speak differently. If anything, the idea that all Roman characters should have a quasi-British accent is a cinematic convention, not historical accuracy. Now, let’s address Denzel specifically. He’s the only Black actor in the main cast, and visually, he already stands apart from his counterparts. Wouldn’t it make sense for his character’s speech to reflect that difference too? It reinforces the idea that Rome was a melting pot of cultures and backgrounds. Also, just to be clear, I’m not knocking the joke about his accent-it was funny! But I think it’s worth challenging the notion that his performance was less immersive because he didn’t adopt the ‘expected’ accent. If anything, his natural accent could enhance the portrayal of Rome’s diversity. What do you think?
Cynthia is an incredibly talented singer. I also think Cynthia has morphed into a fever dream she had as a kid of what she imagined being a famous person should be. Every time she gets asked an interview question she bursts into tears and pretends like she discovered the cure for butt cancer.
“I don’t know what’s happening...” I love how Cynthia said that. Relatable! I probably won’t see the movie, but I love how emotional people get about it. Unless they’re super mean about it - that I DON’T like.
Tbh, men being objectified to ridiculous levels has become the new standard for press tours, promos, pretty much everything. To me, it's gross no matter who is on the receiving end because it dehumanizes and demeans the objectified person. I do get that some people feel like, "Guys, it's your turn to be treated like a plaything after women have been objectified for so long!" But that's not a way forward - that attitude only holds all of us back.
Oooohhh. I was on the subway and saw some people finger holding. I dont know if they were making fun of them too but I thought they were playing "Pull my finger".
The Gladiator 2 promo looks like a commercial for a cologne worn exclusively by crypto bros
So specific yet so true
I thought it was male porno until they started speaking
I read this as cologne worm 😂

Same. I was quite surprised it turned out to be a game show. Thought it would be like other late night shows with guests and so on. I was so ready for that. At least I get these monologues.
Alls I’m saying is that Denzel’s accent is just as historically accurate to Ancient Rome as everyone else’s accent in that movie.
it’s just because it stopped the immersion and it was harder to suspend the disbelief. also, it feels a little lazier. you’re so right, tho, i laugh when people say stuff like that

@@A.H._ As if Russell Crowe's Australian accent wasn't immersion breaking, come on.
Maybe everyone should've spoken with an Italian accent
Yeah, Denzel didn't take me out of the movie at all.
But that guy's video seemed more like a clever way for him to present his Denzel impression than actual criticism.
Exactly! Came here to say that I’m pretty sure that no one in Rome spoke with RP, so go off Denzel

The wicked press tour has been a delightful gift. It’s overly earnest, but it’s so sincere it’s hard to not get swept up in it.
Probably Taylor's best monologue on this show so far. Just hilarious!
I deeply love this woman, she's just so amazing.
How do we start a campaign to get Taylor on Bridgerton?
SHONDA WE HAVE A NEW BEAUTIFUL ACTRESS FOR YOU
Pass the petition ill sign it. we need our queen on netflix
She could be the scandalous American cousin who got sent to stay with her English relatives to quell rumours of her many love affairs with men and women
Duchess of Temecula.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
True that!!!
I just discovered that Taylor Tomlinson has a show two days ago and I'm just so happy for her!
😆 Best monologue yet! 😂😂😍
And now I must remember to hold space for tiny finger holds in my time of need. 😌💙
I really needed this, especially the Wicked drama
The simultaneously laughing while also embracing the geeky joy ✨️😊💖
If Taylor is not a guest star in the next season of Bridgerton they are missing out.
Taylor is from Temecula?!?!! Get Ego on the show yesterday!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 That would be awesome!!!!! But she has to be cutting into something and you may as well bring Bowen and Pedro, too!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Oh we’re back? Sweet
Well, that Gladiator 2 trailer has confirmed I'm straight and I'm really mad about it😤

This was an excellent monologue
I am LIVING for Taylor Tomlinson's monologues
Denzel always does his own accent, he even keeps his accent in Much Ado About Nothing. Shakespeare by way of New York while set in fictious Italy.
I lost it at "the tiny finger hold"
and it's coming to streaming by end of year, yay!!!
Coincidentally, I too walk up and grab my friends by their finger when it's time to leave a party.
I loved this monologue, lololol
Great monologue Taylor!!
I actually got a Gladiator 2 advert just as the one in the video had stopped! Well played, UA-cam. Well played... 😁
Me too! I watched #Wicked, then #GladiatorII, and then #RedOne one after the other...
She seems like a legitimate successor to Johnny Carson. In two years she should be a late night fixture.
Taylor, I laughed REALLY hard at home at your Temecula admission. It was worth it in my house.
Denzel performance was probably favorite part of Gladiator 2.
Easily the best part of the movie.
I didn't even want to see it, but when I saw he was in it, I was ok with watching it.
This is fantastic! Keep it up!
You were funnier than Colbert tonight. He owes you for the save. 😊Also, every kid should’ve learned not to pull someone’s finger. 😂
Please give Taylor a role in Brigerton!
They *did* flood the Colosseum! Sharks may not have been present but flooding was done xD

For what it’s worth your Duchess of Temecula joke cracked me up.
Ok, so James Acaster is in town promoting his new special. Taylor, let's make this work, pls!
My husband is from Temecula and Taylor I get it
It's because Ariana is a life path number 9!
Best part of this show 💕💕💕 good writing 👍
G2: everyone only eats protein and fights to the death
Wicked: everyone needs to eat a sandwich (or some soup or something!!)
Omg yes! These women are starving themselves and it shows! When will we finally leave behind TB chique? It's been ages.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's why they keep crying all the time as well. The poor girls are malnourished
…And as the pendulum swung towards Idiocracy, people began thin-shaming.
Real gladiators ate a mostly vegetarian diet. Beans, peas, whole grains, and so on. They thought it made them stronger.
Especially Ariana. I can’t look at her without wanting to give her a plate of food.
The Wicked press tour has been such a circus. It's been really entertaining to watch. 😂 I did cry during "Defying Gravity" and at the end of the movie so what do I know?
