Comedian and YouTube star Lilly Singh is taking over late-night TV.

The 30-year-old has landed her own NBC show, which will replace Last Call with Carson Daly weeknights at 1:35am.
Singh made the announcement while appearing on The Late Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday.

“I’m so excited because I truly get to create a show from scratch, I get to make it inclusive, I get to create comedy segments and interview people and really create something that I believe in and I'm so honored and humbled, truly,” she told Fallon."I do think it's awesome for an Indian-Canadian woman to have a late night show."

Singh, who recently came out as bisexual, will have a new show called, A Little Late with Lilly Singh, and will feature sketches and celebrity interviews.  It is set to premiere in September.

She elaborated on what the program will be like by jokingly saying: “kind of like my YouTube channel, but just, you know, now I have more than three staff members, and my sound guy won’t also be an extra and won’t also write the script.”

Prior to her new foray into late-night, Singh rose to fame with her YouTube series, II Superwoman II, which has over 14 million followers. She also appeared in Bad Moms and HBO’s Fahrenheit 451.
In February, NBC announced that Late Call with Carson Daly was ending after 17 years.
