    Like almost every late-night show ever launched, it will need some time to settle into itself, but the first week suggests that Singh is charismatic and original enough to pull it off. ... The least impressive segments were the ones that felt most directly aimed at introducing Singh to the audience. ... Even better and more promising for Singh’s show in the long run is that within the first week she demonstrates that she’s a funny, fast, and magnetic interviewer.

    If hosting a late-night show is a marathon, Lilly Singh bounded into her NBC series with plenty of energy, some promising moments and a few easily corrected stumbles.

    Singh’s opening monologues operate more like abbreviated stand-up sets, tackling broad topics like marijuana legalization and not getting the sex talk from her parents. The rest of the half-hour episodes belong to extended celebrity interviews and videos that feel too much like saggy “SNL” sketches rather than Singh’s own. ... What’s most interesting (and promising) about the first week of “A Little Late” is how much works because of Singh’s in the moment stage presence.

    I would say my hopes for the show are maybe a bit dimmed, but not yet daunted.

    Hot garbage. This is everything Twitter wants in a show, with all the veiled bitterness. Lilly Singh is not funny or compelling in any way.Hot garbage. This is everything Twitter wants in a show, with all the veiled bitterness. Lilly Singh is not funny or compelling in any way. Her jokes are lame, and she brings nothing new to the table that she doesn't shout out in the first episode. Like we can't see that you're not like the other late night hosts. But beyond race, gender and sexual orientation (which who gives a **** about nowadays?), what does she have to offer? Nothing of substance. I find Fallon, Kimmel and Colbert hard enough to watch, now that there are better, long-form interview podcasts out there, but at least they have comedy chops, good timing, and some semblance of charisma. Lilly Singh has none of these things. She is a marketing venture into wokeness and she put me to sleep.… Full Review »
