Taylor Tomlinson shared a little-known fact with Stephen Colbert: she started her career on the Christian comedy circuit at just 16. However, her time there was short-lived. The new host of "After Midnight," which will follow Colbert's show later this month, confirmed that there is a regular circuit for Christian comedians.

Instead of typical jokes, they performed "testimony." This got a laugh, and Tomlinson responded with approval, saying, "You guys are good. I like you." Tomlinson was effectively blacklisted from the Christian comedy circuit after tweeting a joke laced with innuendo, even though it contained no explicit content. "I was opening for a prominent church comedian at the time," she recounted, noting the absurdity yet reality of the role.

The comedian's team contacted her, saying they couldn't have suggestive material associated with her. Despite the fallout, Tomlinson eventually performed the joke on late-night TV with no regrets. The controversial punchline? "I am like a wild animal in bed — way more afraid of you than you are of me." Colbert approved, calling it a "quality joke."
Tomlinson clarified that there was no ultimatum from the church comedian’s team—she was simply dropped immediately. Reflecting on the situation, Tomlinson noted the lack of forgiveness in Christian comedy, contrasting it with the Bible's teaching of forgiveness. "No, no," she laughed, adding that the comedian "gave your dates to someone else." Apparently, the lesson of forgiving 77 times wasn't part of his scripture reading that week.

Taylor Tomlinson on Her Religious Dad And Adulting
Taylor Tomlinson shares her experience of growing up in a religious household with a mix of humor, advice, and philosophy in her stand-up routine. "I love my parents because I’m an adult. I have grown-up friends who say, 'Oh, I hate my mother,' and I’m like, 'What are you, 4?'" "No one got enough hugs. Hug yourself and move on.”
“People who hate their parents have unrealistic expectations, thinking parents are superior beings, but they’re just flawed people like the rest of us. We should introduce them as 'These are my people, Rhonda and Tim. They do what they can.' Set the bar low." "Have you realized yet that your parents messed you up? You find a random dent in your head and think, 'What happened?' 'We did our best. That’s what happened. You were slippery.'"

"Ever realize as an adult that your parents messed you up based on others' reactions to your childhood stories? Stories you thought were normal because as a kid, you don’t know any better. You think everyone gets tied up in the yard."
"My parents are cool and very religious, which is how I was raised. I’m not super religious anymore, though I still believe in God because I’ve invested so much time in the idea. If there’s no God, then I told the wind a lot of secrets."
"My dad is very conservative and still thinks gay people shouldn’t be allowed to marry. You ever hear older people say things and think, 'Oh, someone missed the software update'? You can’t say that out loud. We’re in a Target. Let’s go."
"He taught show choir for 10 years and growing up, he encouraged me to abstain from drugs, alcohol, sex, and enjoyment, and I took all of that to heart.
Even today, as an adult, I’m very sexually conservative. Not that I’m bad at sex. In bed, I’m like a wild animal — way more afraid of you than you are of me." "I was celibate all through high school. Didn’t need to be. No one was trying to get in here, didn’t need to lock the door.”
