Indian-Canadian Youtube Star Lilly Singh has been announced as the new host of NBC’s late-night talk show, replacing Carson Daly in September. Her 1:30am show will be retitled A Little Late with Lilly Singh. This makes her the only female host of a US late-night talk show on the so-called “Big Four” networks (NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox).
Singh, 30, announced her new show, while a guest on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon on Thursday. “I do have an announcement: Your girl is getting her own NBC late-night show,” Singh said. “I do think it’s a little awesome, as an Indian-Canadian woman.”
Check out here the live announcement on Jimmy Fallon‘s show with Seth Meyers, another NBS Late Night host, American comedian, writer and actor.
In a statement, NBC executive vice-president Doug Vaughan said “Lilly is truly a star and we’re thrilled to welcome her to our NBC family. She is a multi-talented performer who will surely have a great rapport with not only all her guests but also with our devoted late-night audience.”
After the live announcement, she also published a post on Instagram with the news. Have it a look here below.
