to the sofa as her first guest, which is especially fitting given that Singh is taking strides towards diverse representation as the second woman of colour to host a late-night talk show since Wanda Sykes made history with her Saturday night Fox programme 10 years ago.
Kaling, who is also of South Asian heritage, is already a huge fan of Singh. Earlier in June, while promoting the filmon the Canadian entertainment show, etalk, Kaling predicted that Singh will fly in her new gig. “Oh my gosh, well, Lilly is incredible, and I wonder if I’m qualified to give her advice because from such a young age she’s had this massive following on YouTube. And to do that every day, she’s probably used to the rigours of coming up with self-generating material. Characters dancing, impressions… Like everything. She can do it already. I wonder if she actually thinks that this new job will be slightly easier than what she’s had to do beforehand,” she enthused.
“Of course I love that she’s Indian and that her parents have been so supportive of that. That is something that is great for our community to see. But, honestly, I feel like I could learn from her, you know? She’s fantastic and the idea that I could give her advice, it’s a very nice question to even ask me. She’s amazing. She’s going to do great,” she continued.
