Lilly Singh, who will become the only woman to host a current late-night show on a broadcast TV network, is making strides in multiple ways.

When her show premieres on NBC in September, Canadian comedian Lilly Singh will be the only woman to host a current late-night show on one of the four major broadcast TV networks — and among only a handful of women, people of color and LGBTQ people who have hosted a late-night show.

The show’s gender parity is rare in the world of late-night comedy, which is still largely a boys’ club — as dramatized in the recent movie “Late Night,” starring Emma Thompson as a late-night TV host and Mindy Kaling as her show’s only female writer. E!’s “Busy Tonight,” hosted by actress Busy Philipps, had an all-female writing staff. But it was canceled earlier this year, among several recent female-hosted shows that went off the air.

NBC Taps Lilly Singh to Replace Carson Daly in Late NightLilly Singh, who first amassed fame as a YouTube star, has been tapped to replace Carson Daly as the host of NBC’s 1:35 a.m. talk show. The retitled “A Little Late with Lilly Singh&822… The show will be a total flop. I saw this live and was baffled. Then I watched some of her YouTube videos and was more baffled. She seems like the kind of person anyone would want to hang out with but she’s extremely jarring as a screen presence. If I may give one note it would be for her to slow down a bit.
