Move over YouTube, Lilly Singh has made it to the big leagues. The Scarborough, Ontario native will be taking over Carson Daly on NBC in the fall. The new late night talk show, “A Little Late With Lilly Singh” will be taking over the 1:35 a.m. time slot in September, making all of us Canadians real proud. Here’s what we know so far!
Daly’s show ran for 17 years, so Lilly has some solid shoes to fill. But, in true Canadian spirit, she’s stepping up to the plate and treating the opportunity as an exciting one.
“An Indian-Canadian woman with her own late night show? Now that is a dream come true,” Singh announced during a recent news release, “I’m thrilled to bring it to life on NBC, and I hope my parents consider this to be as exciting as a grandchild.”
