Woman of colour to boast inclusivity and positivity in her late night show on NBC. From Deepika to PeeCee to Ranveer Singh, Indian celebrities are on Superwoman's wishlist.

Mumbai: YouTube sensation Lilly Singh is all set to foray into television with her own show 'A Little Late with Lilly Singh'. The television show is set to be aired on NBC from September 2019.

For the first time Lilly, popularly known as 'Superwoman', will be seen as the host of a primetime late night talk show on American television. The Canada-born talent will be seen conducting in-studio interviews. There will be pre-taped comedy sketches and other signature elements as well.

The woman of colour in her recent interview to IANS said: "I am going to try and make it fresh and inclusive, and I want it to be a ray of light, and positive."

Lilly's show will reportedly replace Carson Daly's show. Speaking on hosting a show in a male-dominated time frame, she said: "I feel like my presence has become much larger than myself now. Previously, all my accomplishments have been surrounded around me, they have been about me or a milestone I set on my channel or otherwise my life. But this, I feel is bigger than me."

She further added: "It's about a glass ceiling being shattered. I felt an overwhelming amount of support with this particular announcement, more so than I have with for anything else in my life. So, I do feel like I am being lifted up by so many people. It has been a sweet feeling"

Talking about the challenges, the 30-year-old star said: "One is being creative on demand. Essentially, Superwoman was a hobby turned into a career. So I used to do things for fun before, and now they have turned into a job. So there's a high demand for being creative and having an overwhelming schedule."

One of the highest paid YouTube stars went on to add: "There are also a lot of pressures that come with being in the public eye. A lot of the lessons I have learnt are public, a lot of mistakes I make are public, and whatever growth I have had is public. So, it has been challenging."

Lilly who has her roots in Punjab said that the feeling is overwhelming. When asked, if we can expect any Indian guest on her show, she said that actors like Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra Jonas are definitely on her wish list.
