Comedian Lilly Singh‘s stint on the late-night circuit is coming to an end. But she’s just getting started when it comes to TV.
On Thursday, the YouTube star announced that her groundbreaking talk show, “A Little Late With Lilly Singh,” will soon wrap for good after two years on NBC.
When the series premiered in 2019, Singh became the first woman in more than 30 years and the first LGBTQ person ever to host a late-night program on a major network.
“Two years ago, I embarked on the wild journey of late night TV,” Singh wrote in a statement. “I knew this show was about more than me, and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity and support. .

“A Little Late With Lilly Singh’s” TV tenure will be a little short: the NBC late-night series is ending after less than two years. But Singh isn’t leaving the family; she has signed a first-look deal with Universal Television Alternative Studio to develop unscripted projects through her Unicorn Island Productions.
The final original episode of “A Little Late” will air on June 3. Reruns of the two-season experiment will fill the 1:30 a.m. time slot through the summer, we’re told.
