“Lilly is truly a star and we’re thrilled to welcome her to our NBC family,” said the late night show executive vice president Doug Vaughan.”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.

Lilly Singh made an official announcement while appearing on the late-night show, specifically ‘The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon’.
In the show, Lilly will be seen interviewing celebrities, as well as feature pre-tap comedy skits and other ‘signature elements’. Recently, Lilly came out as bi-sexual on Twitter, writing, ‘Female, Coloured, Bisexual’ along with emoji checkboxes all checked green. “Throughout my life, these have proven to be obstacles from time to time. But now I’m fully embracing them as my superpowers,” Singh wrote, adding “No matter how many “boxes” you check, I encourage you to do the same.”
