“Hello my name is Lilly and I ain’t a white man/ My skin has some colour and it ain’t a spray tan,” is how LateWithLilly's first episode kicked off.
Lilly Singh has amassed a fan following of millions ever since she landed on YouTube in 2010 with skits about the Punjabi immigrant experience, young adulthood and pop culture.
While other late night hosts like Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert have found immense ratings success in skewering the President on a nightly basis, Singh makes it clear she won’t be following suit: Singh certainly seems to understand the significance of breaking into the boys’ club that makes up late night TV, and according to her opening rap number, has taken steps to ensure her show is executed and run differently than others on air, with a writers’ room that’s “more than 50% women and people of all races.”
