NBC, which has been television’s late-night leader for more than 60 years, is adding to its already illustrious legacy with “A Little Late with Lilly Singh,” making her the only woman to currently host a late-night talk show on a Big 4 network.
Set to air at 1:35 a.m. and debuting in September (exact date to be announced), “A Little Late with Lilly Singh” will be a half-hour program with an array of guests. Singh will conduct in-studio interviews as well as create and star in pre-taped comedy sketches and signature segments.
Singh announced the news during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and Seth Meyers popped by to welcome Singh to the late night family.
“An Indian-Canadian woman with her own late night show? Now that is a dream come true,” Singh said. “I’m thrilled to bring it to life on NBC, and I hope my parents consider this to be as exciting as a grandchild.”
“Lilly is truly a star and we’re thrilled to welcome her to our NBC family,” said Doug Vaughan, Executive Vice President, Special Programs and Late Night, NBC Entertainment. “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. We can’t wait to get started.”
“A Little Late with Lilly Singh” premieres in September.
