00:00:00.190 --> 00:00:01.920
<v ->This is not what I Googled.</v>

2
00:00:01.920 --> 00:00:04.260
This is not the scene from "Meet the Fockers,"

3
00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:05.234
I'll tell you that.

4
00:00:05.234 --> 00:00:07.120
[laughing] Why am I nervous?

5
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:08.269
Oh, my goodness.

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:15.080
<v Interviewer>Is your name Lilly Singh?</v>

8
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:16.670
<v ->Yes, my name is Lilly Singh.</v>

9
00:00:16.670 --> 00:00:17.503
<v Interviewer>Are you the host</v>

10
00:00:17.503 --> 00:00:19.360
of "A Little Late with Lilly Singh?"

11
00:00:19.360 --> 00:00:21.390
<v ->I am the host of "A Little Late with Lilly Singh."</v>

12
00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:22.223
<v Interviewer>You ready to do this?</v>

13
00:00:22.223 --> 00:00:25.410
<v ->All right, I am completely, 110% ready</v>

14
00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:29.663
to be very honest with you in this video.

15
00:00:29.663 --> 00:00:31.590
[banging]

16
00:00:31.590 --> 00:00:32.903
<v Interviewer>Are you nervous?</v>

17
00:00:34.710 --> 00:00:35.543
<v ->A little bit.</v>

18
00:00:36.530 --> 00:00:37.813
<v Interviewer>Why is that?</v>

19
00:00:38.860 --> 00:00:41.110
<v ->My outfit gets wrinkled very easily,</v>

20
00:00:41.110 --> 00:00:44.430
and also I'm just naturally a very honest person

21
00:00:44.430 --> 00:00:46.850
so I think I'm gonna reveal some things about myself

22
00:00:46.850 --> 00:00:48.470
that are embarrassing.

23
00:00:48.470 --> 00:00:51.703
<v Interviewer>Why don't we start with YouTube?</v>

24
00:00:52.540 --> 00:00:54.973
Do you watch other people's YouTube channels?

25
00:00:57.550 --> 00:01:00.550
<v ->I definitely do not watch people on YouTube, no.</v>

26
00:01:00.550 --> 00:01:01.633
<v Interviewer>Is that true?</v>

27
00:01:02.830 --> 00:01:04.030
Never?

28
00:01:04.030 --> 00:01:05.480
<v ->Occasionally I'll watch my friends</v>

29
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:08.220
because I enjoy them as people,

30
00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:10.120
but for someone who makes YouTube videos,

31
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:11.720
I watch very little YouTube.

32
00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:13.070
<v Interviewer>So have you ever watched</v>

33
00:01:13.070 --> 00:01:14.300
the Try Guys' stuff?

34
00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:16.120
<v ->I have watched some of the Try Guys' stuff</v>

35
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.160
because I would consider them friends.

36
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:20.940
<v Interviewer>Do you have a favorite Try Guy?</v>

37
00:01:20.940 --> 00:01:21.850
<v ->The Try Guy I think I've spent</v>

38
00:01:21.850 --> 00:01:23.720
the most time with is Eugene.

39
00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:25.560
And I think we both kind of have the connection

40
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.190
of like, oh my God, underrepresented, minority.

41
00:01:28.190 --> 00:01:29.600
Wow, me too, sick!

42
00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:30.690
So we have that connection.

43
00:01:30.690 --> 00:01:32.320
But I think they're all very sweet.

44
00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:33.610
<v Interviewer>Is that true?</v>

45
00:01:33.610 --> 00:01:34.770
<v ->Yes.</v>

46
00:01:34.770 --> 00:01:37.210
<v Interviewer>Are you a subscriber to their channel?</v>

47
00:01:37.210 --> 00:01:39.220
<v ->Can't say with 100% confidence</v>

48
00:01:39.220 --> 00:01:40.490
that I'm subscribed to their channel.

49
00:01:40.490 --> 00:01:42.020
I feel like the subscribe function

50
00:01:42.020 --> 00:01:44.810
has become just dust, to be honest, on YouTube.

51
00:01:44.810 --> 00:01:45.643
Obviously I'm saying this

52
00:01:45.643 --> 00:01:47.020
because my subscribers have not grown,

53
00:01:47.020 --> 00:01:48.460
so this is just my defense mechanism.

54
00:01:48.460 --> 00:01:49.900
<v Interviewer>What about the D'Amelio's?</v>

55
00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:53.600
Do you ever watch what Charli or Dixie does?

56
00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:56.263
<v ->I only have watched some TikToks from Charli,</v>

57
00:01:56.263 --> 00:01:59.140
because I know she's like the queen of TikTok.

58
00:01:59.140 --> 00:02:02.240
I think I've watched half of a video on YouTube,

59
00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:04.000
maybe the one she did with James Charles.

60
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:05.880
I generally don't find the vlogging stuff

61
00:02:05.880 --> 00:02:07.770
very entertaining to watch, myself.

62
00:02:07.770 --> 00:02:08.760
That's on me.

63
00:02:08.760 --> 00:02:09.830
I'm sure she's lovely.

64
00:02:09.830 --> 00:02:10.663
You know what's funny?

65
00:02:10.663 --> 00:02:12.963
I vlog, so people probably don't watch me either.

66
00:02:14.050 --> 00:02:15.210
I know they don't watch me either

67
00:02:15.210 --> 00:02:17.350
because I can see my views, but.

68
00:02:17.350 --> 00:02:19.050
<v Interviewer>If let's say you were just moving</v>

69
00:02:19.050 --> 00:02:23.030
to L.A. now, would you join one of the collab houses?

70
00:02:23.030 --> 00:02:24.930
<v ->If I was the same age I am right now</v>

71
00:02:24.930 --> 00:02:25.860
and where I am in my career,

72
00:02:25.860 --> 00:02:27.890
I do not think I would join one of those collab houses.

73
00:02:27.890 --> 00:02:29.160
'Cause that type of content,

74
00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:30.260
I don't think anything's wrong with it,

75
00:02:30.260 --> 00:02:31.610
it just personally doesn't fulfill me.

76
00:02:31.610 --> 00:02:34.750
Like I think I like more scripted film type stuff.

77
00:02:34.750 --> 00:02:35.970
<v Interviewer>That check out?</v>

78
00:02:35.970 --> 00:02:36.993
<v ->She's telling the truth.</v>

79
00:02:36.993 --> 00:02:38.258
<v ->That's the truth, I can't keep up with the young'uns.</v>

80
00:02:38.258 --> 00:02:39.767
They can pick up choreo like this [snapping].

81
00:02:39.767 --> 00:02:41.130
The 12 year olds have abs.

82
00:02:41.130 --> 00:02:42.690
I'm like, how is this happening?

83
00:02:42.690 --> 00:02:43.970
How is this all happening?

84
00:02:43.970 --> 00:02:45.010
I can't compete with that.

85
00:02:45.010 --> 00:02:47.060
That's the, I know my place.

86
00:02:47.060 --> 00:02:50.133
<v Interviewer>Do you stay up to date on YouTuber drama?</v>

87
00:02:51.110 --> 00:02:55.870
<v ->I do everything in my power to avoid hearing about drama,</v>

88
00:02:55.870 --> 00:02:59.030
except for every other day where I cave

89
00:02:59.030 --> 00:03:00.600
and I read all about it on Twitter.

90
00:03:00.600 --> 00:03:04.040
But I genuinely don't like having that energy in my life.

91
00:03:04.040 --> 00:03:05.250
So I try to avoid it.

92
00:03:05.250 --> 00:03:07.300
<v Interviewer>Would you say that posting a breakup video</v>

93
00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:09.900
is a cheap way to get views?

94
00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:11.700
<v ->I definitely think posting a breakup video</v>

95
00:03:11.700 --> 00:03:12.880
is a cheap way to get views.

96
00:03:12.880 --> 00:03:14.210
I also think it's a genius thing,

97
00:03:14.210 --> 00:03:16.930
and I applaud everyone that has done it.

98
00:03:16.930 --> 00:03:20.300
<v Interviewer>Would you ever post a breakup video?</v>

99
00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:22.730
<v ->I don't think I would post a breakup video,</v>

100
00:03:22.730 --> 00:03:24.450
mostly because I wouldn't post a video

101
00:03:24.450 --> 00:03:25.940
saying this is the person I'm with.

102
00:03:25.940 --> 00:03:28.150
So it wouldn't make any sense [laughing].

103
00:03:28.150 --> 00:03:30.580
I'm a pretty private person, but that's me right now.

104
00:03:30.580 --> 00:03:32.390
Who knows, I could completely change next year.

105
00:03:32.390 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Interviewer>Do you think it's hard to get famous</v>

106
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.160
on YouTube these days?

107
00:03:36.160 --> 00:03:38.030
<v ->I would say it is very hard to get famous</v>

108
00:03:38.030 --> 00:03:39.920
on any social media platform these days

109
00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:42.420
because there's so many people doing it.

110
00:03:42.420 --> 00:03:44.540
<v Interviewer>Would you make a bad video</v>

111
00:03:44.540 --> 00:03:46.293
if there were guaranteed views?

112
00:03:48.590 --> 00:03:51.073
<v ->I do cheap stuff sometimes for views,</v>

113
00:03:51.073 --> 00:03:54.340
like my mom roasting me or like talking about something

114
00:03:54.340 --> 00:03:55.990
that might be a little bit more tea spilling.

115
00:03:55.990 --> 00:03:57.620
But me personally,

116
00:03:57.620 --> 00:03:59.850
it's just not the type of content that fulfills me.

117
00:03:59.850 --> 00:04:03.110
So if you look at my vlog channel, like This is Real Real,

118
00:04:03.110 --> 00:04:05.330
I do not get a lot of views at all.

119
00:04:05.330 --> 00:04:07.380
And it's because my vlog titles are boring

120
00:04:07.380 --> 00:04:08.390
and my thumbnails are boring,

121
00:04:08.390 --> 00:04:11.590
and they're like, I went to work today.

122
00:04:11.590 --> 00:04:12.590
I sat at my desk.

123
00:04:12.590 --> 00:04:14.660
It's like things I actually am doing in my day

124
00:04:14.660 --> 00:04:17.900
and I just can't put myself in the position to be like,

125
00:04:17.900 --> 00:04:21.070
I'm giving away $10,000 to someone who flips a coin.

126
00:04:21.070 --> 00:04:21.903
Other people are doing that,

127
00:04:21.903 --> 00:04:24.170
and they have the guts for that, and I just do not.

128
00:04:24.170 --> 00:04:25.650
I just can't do it.

129
00:04:25.650 --> 00:04:27.640
<v Interviewer>So you'll never give away a Tesla?</v>

130
00:04:27.640 --> 00:04:29.360
<v ->I will never give away a Tesla.</v>

131
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.510
Absolute, no, why would I do that?

132
00:04:32.510 --> 00:04:35.700
That's no, I think I've contributed enough to the world.

133
00:04:35.700 --> 00:04:37.170
I think I've helped people.

134
00:04:37.170 --> 00:04:38.370
I give them confidence.

135
00:04:38.370 --> 00:04:39.450
I hold doors open.

136
00:04:39.450 --> 00:04:40.610
I don't need to give away Teslas.

137
00:04:40.610 --> 00:04:42.500
I would like to Tesla for myself.

138
00:04:42.500 --> 00:04:45.310
I did let my friend drive my Tesla once.

139
00:04:45.310 --> 00:04:47.660
My roommate, so I feel like it's the same thing also.

140
00:04:47.660 --> 00:04:48.690
<v Interviewer>That's not the same thing.</v>

141
00:04:48.690 --> 00:04:49.523
<v ->But then he crashed it</v>

142
00:04:49.523 --> 00:04:50.530
so now no one's allowed to drive it.

143
00:04:50.530 --> 00:04:52.817
So we're back to being a bad person [laughing].

144
00:04:54.100 --> 00:04:56.090
<v Interviewer>Would you let Samantha, our operator,</v>

145
00:04:56.090 --> 00:04:57.163
borrow your Tesla?

146
00:04:58.340 --> 00:04:59.173
<v ->When we say borrow,</v>

147
00:04:59.173 --> 00:05:01.020
we talking like you want to take a picture with it?

148
00:05:01.020 --> 00:05:03.580
Or like you want to actually drive it or?

149
00:05:03.580 --> 00:05:04.570
<v Interviewer>She wants to drive it.</v>

150
00:05:04.570 --> 00:05:07.340
<v ->Absolutely not, there's not a world in which Samantha</v>

151
00:05:07.340 --> 00:05:09.340
would be driving one of my Teslas [laughing].

152
00:05:09.340 --> 00:05:10.440
<v ->That's true.</v>

153
00:05:10.440 --> 00:05:11.540
<v ->I'm sure you wouldn't let me drive this either,</v>

154
00:05:11.540 --> 00:05:13.050
so I think we're on the same page.

155
00:05:13.050 --> 00:05:16.203
<v Interviewer>Let's talk about your relationships.</v>

156
00:05:17.150 --> 00:05:19.837
You want to get married one day?

157
00:05:19.837 --> 00:05:21.330
<v ->I do want to get married one day.</v>

158
00:05:21.330 --> 00:05:22.435
I think years ago, if you asked me this

159
00:05:22.435 --> 00:05:24.150
it would have been no, but I think as I've grown up

160
00:05:24.150 --> 00:05:26.860
and realized that life is lonely,

161
00:05:26.860 --> 00:05:29.110
I would like to get married, yes.

162
00:05:29.110 --> 00:05:30.670
<v Interviewer>Do you think you'll get married one day?</v>

163
00:05:30.670 --> 00:05:32.570
<v ->I do think I'll get married one day.</v>

164
00:05:33.490 --> 00:05:35.828
<v Interviewer>Are you secretly married and no one knows?</v>

165
00:05:35.828 --> 00:05:38.078
[laughing]

166
00:05:40.140 --> 00:05:42.380
<v ->I am not secretly married right now, no.</v>

167
00:05:42.380 --> 00:05:44.020
If you think I would be married

168
00:05:44.020 --> 00:05:47.320
without making a full fledge livestream Instagram post

169
00:05:47.320 --> 00:05:48.930
about it, getting all those double taps

170
00:05:48.930 --> 00:05:50.780
and whoring myself out, sorry for language,

171
00:05:50.780 --> 00:05:52.336
you are wrong, okay?

172
00:05:52.336 --> 00:05:54.430
Because that is absolutely what I would do.

173
00:05:54.430 --> 00:05:56.060
<v ->That's true.</v>

174
00:05:56.060 --> 00:05:58.180
<v Interviewer>Do you think all Hollywood marriages</v>

175
00:05:58.180 --> 00:05:59.253
are doomed to fail?

176
00:06:00.330 --> 00:06:02.990
<v ->I do not think all Hollywood marriages are doomed to fail.</v>

177
00:06:02.990 --> 00:06:05.350
I do think it's very difficult to have a relationship

178
00:06:05.350 --> 00:06:07.890
in the public eye, which is why I for as long as possible

179
00:06:07.890 --> 00:06:09.120
will avoid having that.

180
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.230
<v Interviewer>Unless it gets you a lot of likes.</v>

181
00:06:11.230 --> 00:06:13.010
<v ->Yeah, we would have to be pretty far down the road</v>

182
00:06:13.010 --> 00:06:15.070
where I'm like, I feel confident enough

183
00:06:15.070 --> 00:06:17.250
that if I put you on the Gram, it's not gonna come back.

184
00:06:17.250 --> 00:06:18.290
There's a certain level of trust

185
00:06:18.290 --> 00:06:19.660
that'll have to be developed for sure.

186
00:06:19.660 --> 00:06:20.910
<v Interviewer>You have a lot of famous guests</v>

187
00:06:20.910 --> 00:06:22.360
on your show.
<v ->Correct.</v>

188
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.090
<v Interviewer>You ever thought something romantic</v>

189
00:06:24.090 --> 00:06:25.930
would happen with one of your guests?

190
00:06:25.930 --> 00:06:28.930
<v ->Absolutely, there's been several guests</v>

191
00:06:28.930 --> 00:06:29.763
where afterwards, man, I said,

192
00:06:29.763 --> 00:06:31.140
thanks so much for coming on the show

193
00:06:31.140 --> 00:06:32.680
and they're just doing their bit

194
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:34.120
that's like, yeah, of course, thanks for having me.

195
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:35.460
And I turn around and I'm like to my assistant

196
00:06:35.460 --> 00:06:37.710
like, they were flirting with me, right?

197
00:06:37.710 --> 00:06:38.830
And they're like, no,

198
00:06:38.830 --> 00:06:41.401
they're doing a press junket you psychopath.

199
00:06:41.401 --> 00:06:43.670
[laughing]

200
00:06:43.670 --> 00:06:46.090
So absolutely, in fact, with one of my guests

201
00:06:46.090 --> 00:06:47.880
that shall remain unnamed,

202
00:06:47.880 --> 00:06:49.440
after we finished the show.

203
00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:50.420
<v Interviewer>Who was that?</v>

204
00:06:50.420 --> 00:06:52.800
<v ->You take this, I don't, you, Samantha, you tell me.</v>

205
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.590
I was talking about how I saw this person

206
00:06:54.590 --> 00:06:58.270
on Raya, dating app for the bougie, right?

207
00:06:58.270 --> 00:07:02.040
Then they said, oh, so you didn't swipe on me or message me?

208
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:02.873
They said that to me.

209
00:07:02.873 --> 00:07:03.770
Is that not flirting?

210
00:07:03.770 --> 00:07:06.540
<v ->In my professional opinion, that is flirting.</v>

211
00:07:06.540 --> 00:07:07.770
<v ->The scientist says it's flirting.</v>

212
00:07:07.770 --> 00:07:09.290
So I would just like to say

213
00:07:09.290 --> 00:07:12.990
that I'm not always crazy, only sometimes.

214
00:07:12.990 --> 00:07:15.190
<v Interviewer>Do you think dating apps like Raya</v>

215
00:07:15.190 --> 00:07:17.290
are destroying romance?

216
00:07:17.290 --> 00:07:19.960
<v ->I do not think dating apps are destroying romance.</v>

217
00:07:19.960 --> 00:07:22.320
I think it's just a different way to do something.

218
00:07:22.320 --> 00:07:23.810
<v Interviewer>Have you ever met up with someone</v>

219
00:07:23.810 --> 00:07:24.643
off of an app?

220
00:07:24.643 --> 00:07:26.871
<v ->I have absolutely met up with people.</v>

221
00:07:26.871 --> 00:07:28.340
[heavy breathing]

222
00:07:28.340 --> 00:07:29.653
<v ->She's telling the truth.</v>

223
00:07:31.108 --> 00:07:33.980
<v Interviewer>Have you ever ghosted anyone?</v>

224
00:07:33.980 --> 00:07:37.080
<v ->I have ghosted someone until I eventually was like,</v>

225
00:07:37.080 --> 00:07:38.870
this is mean and I should do something about it.

226
00:07:38.870 --> 00:07:39.910
<v Interviewer>So what did you do about it?</v>

227
00:07:39.910 --> 00:07:41.860
<v ->I texted them like five months later.</v>

228
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.400
And I said, I'm so sorry, I was shooting.

229
00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:48.260
That's the good thing about having a show

230
00:07:48.260 --> 00:07:50.450
is no matter how long the duration is,

231
00:07:50.450 --> 00:07:51.800
you can say I was shooting.

232
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.740
<v Interviewer>Let's talk about your life.</v>

233
00:07:55.740 --> 00:07:57.910
So you pride yourself on being relatable.

234
00:07:57.910 --> 00:08:00.020
But now that you have your own show,

235
00:08:00.020 --> 00:08:01.990
do you still think you're relatable?

236
00:08:01.990 --> 00:08:03.150
<v ->Not all the time.</v>

237
00:08:03.150 --> 00:08:05.780
I think I'm relatable because I get stressed

238
00:08:05.780 --> 00:08:08.350
and I feel lonely and I have universal emotions.

239
00:08:08.350 --> 00:08:10.670
But I also deal with things on a daily basis

240
00:08:10.670 --> 00:08:12.170
that the average person is like,

241
00:08:12.170 --> 00:08:13.600
what the hell are you talking about?

242
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:14.970
We don't have a show runner.

243
00:08:14.970 --> 00:08:16.790
We don't know these issues.

244
00:08:16.790 --> 00:08:18.950
So genuinely one of my concerns is that

245
00:08:18.950 --> 00:08:20.620
I've become less and less relatable for sure.

246
00:08:20.620 --> 00:08:22.510
That's why I talk about Spanx so much.

247
00:08:22.510 --> 00:08:23.800
Because I feel like that's relatable.

248
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:25.830
<v Interviewer>Do you still buy your own groceries?</v>

249
00:08:25.830 --> 00:08:28.390
<v ->I do buy my own groceries for the most part,</v>

250
00:08:28.390 --> 00:08:29.500
but sometimes I do not.

251
00:08:29.500 --> 00:08:31.580
If I am very busy, I get someone else to buy my groceries.

252
00:08:31.580 --> 00:08:33.210
But I enjoy grocery shopping,

253
00:08:33.210 --> 00:08:35.100
mostly because one time I told my assistant

254
00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:36.750
to buy my groceries and he bought everything

255
00:08:36.750 --> 00:08:38.890
from Whole Foods and I was like, how dare you?

256
00:08:38.890 --> 00:08:40.960
How dare you spend this much money?

257
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:42.860
And from then, I tried to buy my own groceries.

258
00:08:42.860 --> 00:08:43.820
<v Interviewer>Thank you for your honesty.</v>

259
00:08:43.820 --> 00:08:45.420
<v ->Thank you, I'm a cheap person.</v>

260
00:08:45.420 --> 00:08:47.920
<v ->That's true.</v>
<v ->Thank you.</v>

261
00:08:47.920 --> 00:08:49.930
<v Interviewer>Do you do your own laundry though?</v>

262
00:08:49.930 --> 00:08:52.700
<v ->I do my own laundry very poorly.</v>

263
00:08:52.700 --> 00:08:54.940
Sometimes my roommate has to help me out a little bit

264
00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:57.090
'cause I leave things in the dryer for days on end.

265
00:08:57.090 --> 00:08:58.950
So I try my best.

266
00:08:58.950 --> 00:09:00.560
I also just have a lot of underwear,

267
00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:02.090
so I don't have to do it that often.

268
00:09:02.090 --> 00:09:03.930
I have like 70 underwears, I don't know.

269
00:09:03.930 --> 00:09:06.080
<v Interviewer>Have you participated in an Uber pool</v>

270
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:08.560
in the last year to save a few bucks?

271
00:09:08.560 --> 00:09:10.860
<v ->I have not taken an Uber pool in the last year.</v>

272
00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:12.900
<v Interviewer>So not that relatable.</v>

273
00:09:12.900 --> 00:09:13.851
<v ->Damn it!</v>

274
00:09:13.851 --> 00:09:15.573
[laughing]
Dude, you're right.

275
00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:19.950
<v Interviewer>Do you secretly enjoy</v>

276
00:09:19.950 --> 00:09:21.683
being recognized in public?

277
00:09:22.690 --> 00:09:24.200
<v ->Sometimes, not all the time.</v>

278
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.150
I enjoy being, oh, you want to get honest?

279
00:09:26.150 --> 00:09:27.850
I enjoy being recognized in public

280
00:09:27.850 --> 00:09:29.620
if I'm with someone I want to impress.

281
00:09:29.620 --> 00:09:32.900
If I am on a date, or if I'm with someone from the studio,

282
00:09:32.900 --> 00:09:34.890
an exec, a new friend, I'm meeting someone new.

283
00:09:34.890 --> 00:09:35.723
I'm like, oh my God, please.

284
00:09:35.723 --> 00:09:37.840
I'm hoping in my brain, please someone recognize me.

285
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.030
I really want to be cool.

286
00:09:39.030 --> 00:09:40.400
'Cause then this person's going to think I'm cool

287
00:09:40.400 --> 00:09:41.370
and they're gonna be nicer to me.

288
00:09:41.370 --> 00:09:44.820
However, if I'm by myself or I'm just in a rush,

289
00:09:44.820 --> 00:09:48.408
I don't like being recognized because it gives me anxiety.

290
00:09:48.408 --> 00:09:51.440
<v Interviewer>Do you ever say no to a fan's request?</v>

291
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:53.210
<v ->I very rarely said no to fans</v>

292
00:09:53.210 --> 00:09:54.770
when they asked for pictures,

293
00:09:54.770 --> 00:09:56.530
which is why there's a lot of ugly pictures of me

294
00:09:56.530 --> 00:09:58.320
out there in the world to be honest.

295
00:09:58.320 --> 00:09:59.430
I have said no, though.

296
00:09:59.430 --> 00:10:01.470
There was a time when I was running to catch a flight.

297
00:10:01.470 --> 00:10:02.303
I said no.

298
00:10:02.303 --> 00:10:06.202
But I would say my yes rate is probably like 98% yes.

299
00:10:06.202 --> 00:10:07.514
<v Interviewer>Have you Googled yourself</v>

300
00:10:07.514 --> 00:10:09.264
in the last 24 hours?

301
00:10:10.827 --> 00:10:14.040
<v ->I have not Googled myself in the past 24 hours.</v>

302
00:10:14.040 --> 00:10:16.663
I have Googled myself in the last 48 hours.

303
00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:18.840
<v Interviewer>What'd you find out?</v>

304
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:20.070
<v ->It was actually a YouTube search.</v>

305
00:10:20.070 --> 00:10:22.370
I was looking for a clip from season one of my show

306
00:10:22.370 --> 00:10:23.567
so I just put into YouTube,

307
00:10:23.567 --> 00:10:25.840
"A Little Late with Lilly Singh," and the top recommendation

308
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:27.150
was "A Little Late with Lilly Singh Cringe."

309
00:10:27.150 --> 00:10:29.350
And I was like, thank you so much.

310
00:10:29.350 --> 00:10:30.720
<v Interviewer>So you replaced Carson Daly</v>

311
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.250
as the NBC late night host?

312
00:10:32.250 --> 00:10:33.580
<v ->Mm hm.</v>

313
00:10:33.580 --> 00:10:34.820
<v Interviewer>Does that mean he's your favorite</v>

314
00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:36.120
late night personality?

315
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.120
<v ->Carson Daly is not my favorite late night personality, no.</v>

316
00:10:40.030 --> 00:10:41.806
<v Interviewer>So, who is?</v>

317
00:10:41.806 --> 00:10:43.420
<v ->Um, you want to get honest?</v>

318
00:10:43.420 --> 00:10:45.600
I didn't grow up watching late night.

319
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.430
I was not one of those people who watched

320
00:10:48.430 --> 00:10:49.570
a lot of these hosts and didn't grow up.

321
00:10:49.570 --> 00:10:51.040
My parents never watched late night.

322
00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:52.290
And I think it's because they could never

323
00:10:52.290 --> 00:10:54.170
really relate to anything, which is why I think

324
00:10:54.170 --> 00:10:56.020
me having my own show was very important.

325
00:10:56.020 --> 00:10:58.560
Definitely the host I'm most familiar with

326
00:10:58.560 --> 00:11:01.590
and have had the most interaction with is Jimmy Fallon.

327
00:11:01.590 --> 00:11:04.810
<v Interviewer>So your show airs at 1:35 a.m.</v>

328
00:11:04.810 --> 00:11:07.000
So do you stay up late to watch it every night?

329
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:09.677
<v ->I absolutely, I have watched my show,</v>

330
00:11:09.677 --> 00:11:10.810
"A Little Late with Lilly Singh"

331
00:11:10.810 --> 00:11:12.840
at 1:30 in the morning one time.

332
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:13.860
And that was for the premier.

333
00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:16.670
And I've never watched my show live or even not live,

334
00:11:16.670 --> 00:11:18.520
to be honest, beyond that [laughing].

335
00:11:22.560 --> 00:11:24.280
<v Interviewer>So did you lie at any point</v>

336
00:11:24.280 --> 00:11:26.710
during this lie detector test and we didn't catch it?

337
00:11:26.710 --> 00:11:31.380
<v ->I did not lie at all throughout this lie detector test.</v>

338
00:11:31.380 --> 00:11:32.380
<v Interviewer>Do you ever lie?</v>

339
00:11:32.380 --> 00:11:35.040
<v ->Absolutely lie, of course.</v>

340
00:11:35.040 --> 00:11:36.610
You know how many meetings I have with executives?

341
00:11:36.610 --> 00:11:37.837
I have to lie [laughing].

342
00:11:38.739 --> 00:11:39.716
[banging]
