A little late with Lilly Singh was always terrible and the network pulled it after just one terrible season. Shocking!
NBC is about to have a vacancy on its late-night schedule: A Little Late With Lilly Singh will end with its current second season, TVLine has learned. The final episode will air Thursday, June 3 at 1:35 am/12:35c.
A Little Late premiered in September 2019, filling the gap left by Last Call With Carson Daly, which ended a few months earlier after 17 years on the air. An NBC insider tells TVLine that the network is rethinking its 1:30 am time slot and plans to move away from original talk programming.
But Singh — a comedian, actress and YouTube personality — will continue working with NBCUniversal despite the end of her talk show, signing a first-look deal with Universal Television Alternative Studio on Thursday to develop unscripted projects.
“I’m excited to take this next step in my relationship with NBCUniversal and launch a new partnership between my company Unicorn Island Productions and Universal Television Alternative Studio,” Singh said in a statement. “This is a career step that I could only dream of when I started out as a creator, and I look forward to working alongside their team to create projects that bring underrepresented voices to the forefront.”
