Comedian, actor and producer Lilly Singh joins the show. Over bacon and eggs, I ask about her new film ‘DOIN IT,’ a sex comedy seven years in the making that’s as hilarious as it is groundbreaking. Lilly shares the challenges of being seen as “too niche,” why she brought her mom on as a cultural consultant, and how she’s determined to build her own table in Hollywood. We dive into her viral TED Talk on gender equity, the way gratitude is often weaponized against women, and what she carries from her time in late night. This episode was recorded at Lindens at the Arlo Hotel in SoHo, New York City.
