Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that A Little Late with Lilly Singh is a late-night talk show featuring Canadian YouTube celebLilly Singh. Like most talk shows, it has some sexual innuendo and crude references, but interviews often go deeper, addressing issues like racism and racial violence, and sexuality. There's some strong language; words like "pissed," "hell," etc., are used, but actual curses are bleeped.
The show is filled with unfunny jokes and Lilly is incredibly racist against white straight males and everything feels way to forced which just makes the show boring also there has been proof that the audience has been told by nbc to laugh harder and fake the laughs
A completely tone deaf show filled with juvenile 'jokes'. Very problematic opinions with underlying racisim and crass humour. The host doesn't seem to know her job (is very loud, a complete wannabe) and makes the whole show extremely irritating and unbearable. Very difficult to watch one entire episode. Sorry but a very pathetic and shoddy job done by ofcourse the host and the writers as well.
What's the Story?
A LITTLE LATE WITH LILLY SINGH is a late-night talk show hosted by YouTube celebrity Lilly Singh. The Canadian actress and comedian interviews a wide range of celebrities, including folks like Mindy Kaling, Kenan Thompson, and Raine Wilson. The show also features funny sketches between interviews, some of which are prerecorded, and some other surprising moments.
The lighthearted late-night talk show series features Lilly Singh showcasing the trademark edgy humor her YouTube channel is known for. Her high energy makes interviews interesting, even if the humor occasionally falls flat. While she notes that she does not want to get into political discussions, her monologues, jokes, and interviews often make references to the lack of racial, ethnic, and gender inclusion in society, as well as more subtle, but comical, references to white, and often male, privilege.
The best part of the show are the bits that feature Singh playing different characters, which underscores her dramatic talent. There's a lot packed into each 30-minute episode, so if you like late-night fare, A Little Late with Lilly Singh might just offer you enough entertaining moments to keep you awake.
