In her new collection of essays, Actually, Nevermind, former host of CBS' After Midnight Taylor Tomlinson writes about a deeply personal decision that left her "shaking with shame." THR has the book excerpt on the messy demise of her late night career:
I know I couldn’t have kept hosting and been okay. My physical and mental health would have only deteriorated further. But knowing that doesn’t make it easier. What’s that quote — 'You can’t set yourself on fire to keep others warm'? Some days this comforts me. Others I think, You should have gone up in flames, you selfish bitch.
+ Tomlinson speaks with Lacey Rose on staying quiet — until now.
