A Little Late With Lilly Singh: NBC s Late-Night Series to End With Season 2 TVLine 6/05/2021
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.
NBC’s
The show, which airs at 1:30 am ET, is hosted by
Lilly Singh one of the only woman to helm a late night program.
Samantha Bee currently hosts her late night show
Full Frontal once a week on TBS, while
Amber Ruffin has her own show on NBC’s Peacock.
While the move strips diversity from an already overwhelmingly White and male scene, the show’s 1:30 a.m. start time undoubtedly did it no favors providing Singh limited opportunities to entice new viewers. The pandemic may also be responsible for the show’s dwindling success as it led to an extended hiatus between the first and second seasons.
