What's promising about Lilly Singh's first week in late-night is her "in the moment stage presence"

Variety

"She’s an engaged interviewer capable of steering the conversation where it needs to go, even when the occasional games she tries to play with guests mostly end up more confusing than entertaining," Caroline Framke says of the A Little Late host. "There are definitely times when her age and advanced knowledge of what it means to Be Online clash with celebrities who are so used to late night softballs from smiling forty-something men (it’s no coincidence that her best interview of the week is the one with Tracee Ellis Ross, an extraordinarily game guest and bona fide Instagram savant in her own right). But even when the show isn’t totally on point, Singh’s ability to adapt and crack spontaneous jokes should get A Little Late on a steadier track before too long." ALSO: Singh's 96-episode first season will be taped, two shows per night four nights a week, over the next three months.
