Love how she blames everyone for her mistakes, her late night tv show was terrible and she wasn’t funny and the pay gap in UA-cam is a stupid theory considering we the people choose what to watch! She likes to brag about how successful she is, yet complained about every opportunity.
And she was heavily promoted by UA-cam. She still chooses not to 'get' the reactions about the Forbes list. The list was based on VIEWS. No one dreamed up the list. She was off the list bc she didn't adapt her content to her maturing audience and focused more heavily on her victim narrative.
Plus her views had plummeted years prior to late night. She failed to adapt to her maturing audience. She started whining instead of looking at how to change.@Backupbackupplan
Women are over half the planet/country. Women have the right to view anything the want in the developed world. So you can't blame sexism for any YoutTube gap. It's based on views, period. And she was a top UA-cam earner for years.
Who paid YOU to say that 😜, all these comments against her are paid for ppl wake up. Because they don’t want people who tell the truth like she does. She ruins their plans. Keep going Lilyyyyyy 😁😁😁😁
@A-human-like-you ah, yes! Because vehemence towards Lily means that they are being paid. Let's flip the script: Is Lily paying you be sycophantic of her?
This is what happens when you don't have good friends around. You inflate your ego and get a false self image. Don't be a victim like Lilly Singh. Be a normal human being. Embrace your strengths and weaknesses and deal with the world like a matured adult.
Be a normal human being? Why do you hate someone reaching for more. Are people not allowed to dream and strive to make change? Normal is so subjective. And most normal people are miserable because normal does not exist and we tire and depress ourselves trying to be what we think everyone wants us to be
@arilisette5555 I think he meant "normal" like be a comedian not a pseudo-oppressed gay woman of color. People don't care about her self-proclaimed victim status. Is she funny? NO.. OK...next!!!
0:15 “look how perfect I was” 2:34 “I started a channel under the name Superwoman “ 3:54 “He decorated me with a flower garland. A gesture fit for people of importance.” 4:30 “in my video I’ve amassed 15 million subscribers and 3 billion views.” 6:38 “in 2019 I made history with my late night television show” That’s all the evidence of NPD I need.
Lots of entertainers and artists are NPD. The issue is, she has no control over her illness because nobody has called her out and instructed her to be more mindful.
@@listentothenightfilmsvery good point. No one taught her how to be humble in public. You don't actually have to be humble you just have to appear to be humble. And this woman doesn't appear to be humble in any imaginable way.
Thank you comments section! This restores my faith that we may remain sane throughout this nonsense time. This is amazing how everybody realizes how out of touch she is and this talk truly is . I love good people
We certainly live in a really weird time where the media continues to push out absolute crap narratives and ideologies while the comment section completely disagrees and disowns those same narratives and ideologies. I’ve never seen so many people come together to all agree that the mainstream media sucks and we all have no clue where they’re getting this stuff.
Exact sentiments here. We are in a age now where people are finally turning on these “celebrities”. We’ve been asleep so long now we are awake. The thunder is coming
Eric Andre made his show successful with a $0 budget, hours of recording a day, no writing staff, and on a network with barely any viewers. Now he's a classic on so many memes
So let me get this straight. She experienced sexism in her country(India) and then moved to western country where she was treated equally and you could argue even disproportionally well to the point where she is worth millions (not exaggeration), had a late night show, got doors open to places where only very very few can reach but cries about being oppressed and is mainly mad at western, white dominated countries? Some one make it make sense...
uh first of all she was born in canada, she didn't move from anywhere, second of all she also said that india (introduction in the beginning) and white dominated countries both are just as bad if you listened to her speech the MAIN point she makes is that she got a seat at the table, why is she complaining she got a seat at the table while others are waiting out in the cold, when that seat is wobbly and she did not get enough recognition. this is a metaphor to literally what you just said "doors open to places where only very very few can reach" why she didnt get that recognition is debatable (because her show wasnt that successful as some people think or the media actually didnt include her because of her different perspective and she's a woman and all that) and she is not mainly mad at western white dominated countries LOL listen to her intro and entire speech once again before making comments she said sexism is prevalent everywhere
I hope I helped it make sense...next time try actually watching the vid instead of skipping through and assuming what she says... you definitely did not get it straight LOL
When most of what you want is validation, as opposed to... a strong character, family, amazing friends, creating innovative art or technology, etc; The simplistic response is to get even more validation for the validation you've already received. I'm not a professional but I see a lot of people wanting validation as a sort of epidemic.
@@sunflower8075 Finish this sentence - “When someone has unequal opportunity and access they are being _________.” - I’ll give you a hint, it rhymes with impressed.
@@sunflower8075 Equity and equality aren't the same thing no matter how much the cultists try to conflate it. Equity means equality of outcome. If I work a 60hr week, I'm an expert at the job, you don't get to walk in one day, work for 20 hrs a week, and get what I get monetarily.
@@hephaestusbae6737Blames everyone else for her failures. Claims anyone who calls out her sexist, racist bullshit gets called a sexist and/or racist. Acts like being a “bisexual woman of colour” is a personality trait. How’s that?
@@hephaestusbae6737 She blames everything and everyone else for the failure of her show, except for herself. That's where a lot of hate comes from. It also doesn't help that she's an unfunny NPC reeeeing about mediocre white men while being a mediocre poc woman lol. I love her though, big fan.
I love how this is really a clinic on narcissism and the speaker is such a narc. they dont even realize it. She thinks the topic is her failed show, lol. This is some real meta content here. :)
Lily Singh is one of the most INSUFFERABLE people on the planet. Her comedy is torture. Her fake victimhood is so contrived, I blush while watching it. How can somebody be that deluded? 😔
Best thing is spreading the truth. The right thing is not only to boycott but encourage others not to follow or support this fakery. Does not need to be spread this sham of using people and creating fake victims. Cause at the end it's poisoning minds of masses. So, in return, spreading the truth to fight the lies. That's the least we can do. Thank you Danny!
@@RoRZoro This is a completely different topic to the issue of conspiaracies. We are not discussing the same subject at all. I'm saying, there are decent people and bad people, and she is bad not because she tows some line, but because she's just a rotten human being - nothing to do with special interests, just personal character
As an indian i can say she is more prevelaged than anybody and her parents are more supportive and encouraging than most of our parents. She needs to stop bringing her sexual orientation and skin colour into everything.
The funny thing is, her sexual orientation and skin color is most probably what got her into her position in the first place, so I kinda don't blame her?? But she's still fked up, not saying she's right at all
@@pyrokatarinashe’s where she is because she pioneered early UA-cam content making random smerk-y stereotype videos that some people could relate to, and has been living off that ever since. I’m a bisexual Indian guy and trust me my skin color and sexual orientation does not in fact open up any kinda doors I don’t open for myself😅
@@Jokerxeno1 i know lily singh in UA-cam. I always watched her before. What I'm saying is her TV presence. You cant tell me that her show is not rooted in her identity when it was always talked about in her monologues and its branded as the "first bisexual woman of color to have late night TV". It was always about her and frankly enough, it is one of the reason why her show didn't last for long. People are sick of her narrative and unfunny jokes about hrr identity
When I imagine what the lack of self awareness looks like, I picture Lilly Singh. This video is no exception. She's come to represent the delusion and entitlement of certain people today. For the sake of posterity, I'm glad this video exist. As I'm sure these receipts will come in handy.
I watched her interviewed (it's somewhere on YT) and she talked about how she is a very self-aware person and that it's her greatest strength and I actually laughed out loud
@@awill3454 Same. I know exactly what interview you're talking about too. I literally snort laughed when she said that. That one syllable combination of a snort and a "hah!" It's very unpleasant. Like Lilly Singh.
Conan O'Brien in the 90s was proof that legitimate humor could elevate a show despite following the more promoted Jay Leno. Lilly had a better chance than most to strut her stuff, only her stuff wasn't up to snuff.
That's exactly what they do. They climb the ladder on someone else's back, that someone else built, just whining and complaining the entire way. Then they get into undeserved positions of power, and start the process of destruction on everything they touch.
Sounds like a lot of excuses for why her late night show was cancelled…. It was cancelled because it simply wasn’t funny….not because of her race, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, or any other self identifying category. I think she has potential, but playing the victim isn’t a good move
The first monologue she gave on her show stated “white people are afraid to see people of color host a talk show”. If that isn’t the most racist, ignorant crap I’ve ever heard…. Implying that we’re all here shaking in our boots, because we’re so racist we can’t fathom the idea of a person from another culture being the leader of anything. Insane.
Ofcourse they will give her a huge challenge because for one she is essentially a competitor and everyone knows traditional media wants to show that yt'bers cannot do what they do. Also just for it being a HUGE risk for them. I'm not even saying they wanted her to fail because they chose exactly what she complained about the headlines and then after praised that a little melanin, women blabla let's go 🤦♂️ She just wasn't in no way cut out for the job. Late night hosting is one of the hardest and they propably tought she can make some bland average bs before committing with serious money but she Completely Embarrasingly dropped the ball. If you watch Conan's up and coming to be a host for someone who was a no-name (that was a Huge deal especially in 90's) it's some brutal stuff, but the up-side is that he has always been very funny and smart. So they made it work even tho being under a constant pressure of cancellation for A Long Time. She just simply isn't funny. I was at the time of her yt peak aaaround the demographic and hated the Shane Dawson/Lily Singh type of comedy when it kinda was The Thing in youtube. It was more so that ok here is Some people who are doing something more formatted without it really working yet for the people who got on it. So as always there is mainstream people, who chooses the flashy formatted mediocrety over content that is Something. That's what got her ego all messed up, thinking she actually is funny and has these amazing opinions. Nah, you just got on the curb of a wave and populus will go with it. Just like later happened with Logan Paul, straight up nonsense content but it was something new. Then there have been people like Caisy Neistat who Actually knew what he was doing and did it with not ONLY being on the new wave but smart and inventive about it. Another is simple Felix, Pewdiepie, no matter that there is bad content he have always been high up because well one he have managed to change the format with times, but mostly because he is geniuine and people like that (he is even Legit funny now but that took time, people just liked him because as we northern europeans do not largely try to be flashy and are quite humble)(for example I remember yeeeaaars ago when he said: "I try to be a comedian, I know I'm not there but I'm learning guys.. so just bear with me" and not assume that he is the funniest youtuber ever for joking and people liking him. Like Lily did).
Craig Ferguson was genuinely funny, talented, put in the effort and hustle which you could see in every episode, was charming, intelligent, and a positive dude, and no one even remembers him in the late night talk show sphere. But Lily, an unfunny, gay, female Narcissist of color with a UA-cam channel most people never even heard of, "wasn't given enough opportunities." This is a TED Talk on what NPD looks like.
There's literally a clip on UA-cam where she's on Jimmy Fallon announcing her new talk show at NBC late night, and one of the things she emphasized (I kid you not) was the enormous size of her staff. How everywhere she walked there was another person introducing themselves as a member of her staff, like "Hi, I'm your staff limo driver" etc., yet HERE she says the polar opposite, that her staff was about 6 people.
My assumption is it started off large and as the studio saw how much she sucked it got smaller. She's only remembering the six people at the end. I mean they're not important enough to remember anyway right?
i thought it was a TED x talk. This must be like a part one or something then a psychologist comes out in part 2 and is like "how to identify a narcissist"
She got an opportunity for late night show as first female host of late show and alsp first indian woman to host late night show. And she blew it off that opportunity. We lernt that representation should be on merit basis not based on how you look or your color.
she literally talked for 5 minutes on why the show wasn't able to do as good. A lot of technical issues and lack of support. A show doesn't depend on ONE single person you know? But ofc you wouldn't bother to consider all that talk cuz you've already decided for yourself.
@@sanghamitrasengupta9959 maybe it was because she is a bitter angry sniveling creature of misfortune without a single humorous quality to her at all and her show was a diversity project that ended in abject failure from an obviious lack of talent
What if she knows? I mean, what if she knows she is a talentless hack and that her only chance is sjw ism and preferential treatment? Maybe she is not that stupid after all.
All those solutions can go for both genders not just women, people constantly have to negotiate for a good deal at the workplace, don't settle for less then you're worth, and actually know your worth, as in know when you have to bring more to the table because you're actually not worth it, increase your worth to be worthy
Instead of using her platform and Ted talk to inspire and educate…she used it to talk about how amazing she is and pick petty fights with an industry she failed at. Wow
While not caring that almost none of the previous hosts of the show had the limelight and the seat she wants. They all had to work hard for it. It's the late late show. It's not Prime late night.
Yea, they platform wacky people. It’s like taking the paranoid schizophrenic crackhead from down the street to do a speech on societal and political issues.
Yeah. It all started with that gay kid that had supposedly found a cure for cancer. Well thats how Ted Talk perceived it to be. Jack Adranama, i think thats his name. Ted Talk made it seem like he was the future of science. That little gay kid grew up to do nothing.
First, stop all this "crazy women" thing. Second, a seat should not be conditional, "if girls want"... We're women and should BE in those seats. Yes, other women do create competition and trash talk others (much like you are doing), but it's mostly because we are encouraged to do so. Instead of being judgmental and hate on other women let's check our beliefs and actions to see how we can encourage and better us, so together we can build a better future
I wish I was as oppressed as this heroic warrior against oppression who gets multimillion dollar TV shows and book deals and gets paid to travel the world talking bollocks about herself and other vacuous pap. Truly, she has inspired me to want to be a millionaire celebrity by being oppressed. Hopefully, if I can pay my rent and bills next month, someone can oppress me and keep me down by paying me millions. Stunning and brave.
Shame that she didn’t talk about all the female late night hosts that came before her and the amazing ones that are killing it as day time hosts (Drew Barrymore, Kelly Clarkson) sure, the day time talkshow format and landscape is very different to late night, but I think it’s worth acknowledging
Why are you moving the needle? She is the first late night host on a major network. When Joan Rivers hosted her show on Fox in the 1986, the show among the just launched Fox's first line up. No shade on the other late night talk show hosts, who were/are ground breakers, smart and hilarious.
What about Wanda Sykes ? An actually funny black woman who got a late night show in 2009 ! And on Fox too ! What , fox isn’t a major network ?? Are you only saying this because Lily herself stated that ? Echochambers man …
Also , Wanda Sykes came out as gay in 2008 , before she was the first person of color on a late at a major network . So there’s literally nothing special about her besides the fact she started from nothing doing UA-cam which is basically the only respectable thing I can say , I will give her props on that .
@@darrenrooftop8328 of course! I only the listed the ones I knew of. My apologies. I’m in Australia and didn’t realize that Wanda Sykes got her own late night show. Drew’s show is on demand here & Kelly is mentioned regularly on our morning programs
I guarantee her grandfather did none of that, what happened was she first bowed and touched his feet followed by a hug. Traditions are extremely important to Indians and so what she said is her imagination or in reality LIES!.
7:10 bishhhh that’s what you called yourself!! Lily kept repeating over and over again on her show, and people noticed that. She knows it was dumb, so now she’s deflecting those statements she made onto others. Don’t put the blame on the media 🤦🏾♀️ and she clearly still didn’t understand why she got backlash for that her tweet about the Forbes list. And about her late night show? When will she realize that she just wasn’t very funny in it, and that the show was cringe overall. She gets so defensive and doesn’t introspect about the criticism she is receiving. There is no doubt she is trailblazer in more ways than one, but it’s okay to acknowledge that not everything she did was worthy of praise. No need to get defensive and say it’s Lily against the world. I’m surprised almost no one in the comments is calling her out.
Ig she talked about how media talked about her before the show and she might have adopted it. No wonder the show was cringe it had such a tight schedule, with that the likelihood of decreased efficiency or creativity is expected.
One of the select few who rise to fame on UA-cam actually offered TV show- instead of being grateful for the 1 in a million opportunity, it fails and she blames everyone but herself. She totally twisted the criticism about the Forbes list as it was based strictly on views - no gender bias. She fell off bc her views dropped- because of HER content. She seems incapable of self reflection.
Little do naive people know instead of blaming others one should look within. Some just cant let go of their Ego. The problem lies not in the outside but the inside, within oneself.
It is clear that this person is some sort social experiment to present a case in which EQ and self awareness levels can reach Absolute Zero. As this is clearly the case then tip of the cap to those researchers. They have done an exemplary and thorough job, I for one, would not have thought this could be achieved to quite this degree. 👏👏👏 In the extremely unlikely scenario that this is a real person, and we as a society have given them a modicum of prominence, then I worry for us all.
9:20 Yes, it was a huge accomplishment on Lilly’s part to do the late night show. But the honest truth is it was BAD. She was the one who kept repeating Brown Bisexual woman every 5 seconds. And the notes they were sending you were feedback from the audience. Looks like she still hasn’t understood it.
@@krishnvm1027 being brown, bisexual, or a woman are not personality traits. If your skin color, sexual orientation, or gender define you, you are pathetic and lack PERSONALITY.
@@krishnvm1027 no! Being annoying is annoying. If she was actually talented, the show wouldn't have failed. The reason she failed is because she lacks what it takes to attract the crowd. Its not the world's fault she isn't "successful". The world doesn't owe anyone anything.
all white cis men get instantly rich and famous. when I leave the house people give me complements and money just for simply existing. and in the evening all white cis men gather in pubs and laugh about all the Indian girls, we stole opportunities from. lel
My favorite part is that all of her complaints.....are literally valid for the previous host of the same show, in the same time slow, that ran for 2000+ episodes and wasn't cancelled immediately. So it wasn't a budget issue, or a support issue from the studio, because Craig made it work. It must have been....something else. Something totally unrelated to whether Lily is actually funny or entertaining. That must have been what was the issue!
Some of the way these things are framed is kind of misleading... Lilly perpetuated the "bisexual woc" angle when her show came out and I'm pretty sure its a point she emphasized in some of her announcement videos. And Twitter wasn't mad at what Lilly said about the Forbes list, it was how she delivered it. Plus, her show is half the time of most other ones (which may be problematic in itself) and explains why she had to film more per day. I think it's sad but clear that some of Lilly's attitude/reaction to feedback from the 1st season tainted people's interest in the second which I think unfortunately made a lot of the good takes she had fall through the cracks. I used to be a huge supporter of Lilly but in recent years, she's really lost me. I sill respect her hustle and want to root for her which is why I even watched this but never seems to do much public reflection/holding accountablility which I just can't get down with. I'm glad she got to do this talk though and she's definitely right that women need to be more focused on making space for more of us, not just securing ourselves and calling it justice
Agreed, I really do think people should think about what problem they might have themselves and tryna improve it instead trying to find a way out of their circumstances by complaining about the society structure. Obvioulsy, Im not saying we should not criticize wrong things at all, but at least people shouldnt complain every inch of the structure if things dont go to where they want to.
As a longtime fan of Lilly, I agree with everything that you said. I was so excited for her when she announced her show but I found it disappointing. I'm kind of relieved to hear that a lot of it was due to the conditions that she had to work under because I still really hope she succeeds. But also, I feel like in recent years, she's changed and become more entitled and less receptive to constructive criticism, which she always seems to attribute to discrimination. I respect her mission in trying to get equality for women and minorities, as a woman of colour myself. But I often don't agree with some of the messages. For example, a lot of the time I hear "well people respect white men who are overconfident, condescending and bossy so women and people of colour should be able to do that as well". However, it's always been my opinion that instead of changing society so that everybody is respected when they're overconfident, condescending and bossy, why don't we instead change society to expect everybody to be more modest, respectful and patient?
@@monkiram lol it wasn't the conditions she had to work under, she's saying that because it's hard to say "I'm not a good talk show host, I should stick to making childish content for kids because I'm better at being loud and making faces"
Shes basically the DSM-V definition of narcissistic personality disorder manifested into human form. I'm glad the top comments are finally calling her out now. There's way too many actually commending her for huffing her own farts on stage.
@@utterlyrelaxed9109 she's a privileged ego-maniac who's trying to compare eastern cultures to the west, people DO NOT discriminate against women like they do in places in like India. She's sitting on millions of dollars yet still plays the victim. She makes me feel embarrassed to be a second generation Indian in the west. Plus her show fucking sucks lol
@@utterlyrelaxed9109 Well, If all we do I comparing ourselves with other people and blaming them for all the downfalls in our lives then we would go far ay. That is what I meant
When she went into “I have over blah blah amount of subscribers on utube” I almost switched off. While trying to show how tough it is with her grandpa or dad she still has to let everyone know how great she is, urgh
So, LiLy's biggest traumas, this chip so heavy in her shoulders comes from....having a traditional family....not an abusive family, not a father or mother who abandoned her, or parents who were drug addicts or criminals, nope.....the big big trauma of her...is...ohh..... my family is traditional.....some people really are privileged....😅
"Men are making more money than me, but they also have 20 times the views on videos..." "That must be because women are opressed!" A true genius of our time and not an industry plant at all lmao
Dear lilly I just have to say how inspirational this ted talk is, you are proof that even with all the advantages, wealth, favours from famous friends and an unlimited amount of choices I too can fail. In a way that is true equality, at least you finally made me laugh.
Claims at beginning "I wanted to be treated equally" and 5 minutes later "unfortunately the budget wasn't based on the historic aspect" of show. She WAS treated equally but wanted special treatment...
I’m so glad that from where I come from people like her are ridiculed and made fun of to such an extent that either they throw away the whole facade or they simply distance themselves from the community. Works great either way.
One of the most privileged women on the planet is preaching about being oppressed. I'm sure all the low income manual labor workers holding together our infrastructure are so inspired.
its painful to see so many people who have built things that everyone benefits from in life, not get recognition, let alone a "seat at the table". Meanwhile, people like Singh here gets all that without producing anything meaningful, AND has the audacity to preach about how hard done by in life she is.
@@surabhi7419 Rich, makes money making crappy jokes, gets to complain about non problems and be praised for it, gets away with racism because of the way she looks, and generally has had everything handed to her in life. Not to mention she got to have a show way longer than it deserved considering the super low ratings and criticisms.
She was the one who inspired me at a point in my life when I was about to give up and I was fed up of being a women...living in suffocating society I hope the world gets better I am a lot stronger now , I hope I can also make a difference!
Suffocating society. Said on your smartphone that a 9 year old Chinese girl made with a su*cide net around the building. Funny nobody cares about actual women that are being mistreated. It's more convenient and easy to stay in your tower of privledge and talk about how hard that is then actual issues in the world.
It’s so nice to see TED talks allowing a platform for this mentally handicapped woman to tell her story of how she is the biggest victim on the planet earth.
I am gonna save you 20 minutes. Only reason lily singh isn't successful is because of the entire world not finding her funny and the world should change. And she wants women to have power without even proving their potential and worth.
Her problem is that she made a very bad show. She took all of things she was good at on youtube and threw them out after getting a network show. She became a nothing but a smug, tedious avatar for all of the victim groups she belongs to. Craig Ferguson had the same time slot and problems, and he leaned into the poverty and low audience numbers making them part of the joke.
I listen to this Ted talk periodically bcuz every word is true. I need this truth to really sink into my entire being so that i can stay on track and be on team “make the world a better place” using the gifts i have been given. Thank you for all the work you did to deliver this brilliant thought provoking speech. Now….. everybody! LISTEN to every word
This woman is AMAZING 🤩 she works sooo hard and the good will always outweigh the hate. She is talking about things that aren’t talked about enough. She’s inspired me everyday and I luv her ❤ she is ANYTHING but a narcissist
People: _”I don’t care if you’re a woman or bisexual or a woman of color. Just make good content and I’ll consume it.”_ Lily Sighn: _”But I’m a bisexual woman of color. All I have is my pointless identity on the mortal plain, my ironic hateful bigotry and venting my misplaced/unjust anger in the form of unfunny identity politics comedy.”_ People: _”Fxck off.”_ Lily Singh: _”WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!”_
She is speaking as if she wasn't in a position of privilege. How many men have had the opportunity that she had? She had an opportunity that many folks in her industry can only dream of but fumbled the bag then comes out and blames everyone but herself. How many women in the audience have had such a huge opportunity?
I want her to take this talk, and repeat it word for word to a woman who actually went through hardship. If that woman comes out of this inspired, then I'm the living breathing queen Elizabeth the 1st of England.
A millionaire given millions for not making her own fans laugh and still given more millions is not enough and she needs more millions for nothing. That's why feminists changed from equality to equity. They've had equality for one hundred years but that meant equal work. Equity means free $hit for not being being a straight white male. Which by the way wasn't her critics but her own advertisement and material reminding us she's a non white bi woman every ad and episode her critics didn't care. Her entire shtick is saying "IM A BI NON WHITE WOMAN ISN'T THAT FUNNY?"
Stop conflating "equity" with equality. Equity means fairness. It is not fair to have equal representation when some people are devoting more time and energy to their professions. For most women, having and raising kids is the most important thing in their lives. So they devote less time to their careers, and more time to their families/kids. For most men, providing for their children/mates and attracting attractive mates is the most important thin in their lives, so they devote more time to their careers. And you therefore end up with differential outcomes. (Men are also probably funnier on average, for what that's worth. It's not like there's no inherent differences between the sexes. Women are likely better in other respects.) Note that Indian-Americans generally out-earn White Americans, so it's not a question of racism. Note also that single, childless women under 35 generally out-earn their male counterparts in the U.S., so it's not a question of sexism either. It's simply a matter of preferences and choices.
Hard for anyone to argue with her overall message about a seat at the table but a little unfair of her to blame her NBC experience on her gender, ethnicity or sexuality. The show had very bad ratings and her audience was significantly lower than the Carson Daly show that she replaced. Also NBC gave her a retooled season 2 since Covid may have impacted season 1. But it still failed. Nobody wants to own it anymore. It is always someone else. Maybe, just maybe, the late night audience didn’t think Lily was funny. Maybe it has got nothing to do with the Boys’ club and everything to do with her content and delivery for late night? Is that potentially a possibility?
I am shocked and so moved by hearing such a stunning and brave woman explaining to all of us how much of a victim she is. I work 6 to 6 every day, and still cannot but feel so sorry for her, and how she is still being victimised every day by not being allowed to sit at the table. And how disgusting of a grandfather, definitely a toxic male. The patriarchy is still strong, my friends. Luckily we have warriors like Lilly Singh breaking it every day.
She talks about the seat at the table like it means automatically she should be given extra privileges. Did Carson Daly, the person she replaced have anything even remotely similar like her? Did he complain? The show operates on the merit of the timeslot but she thinks she should be given a bigger budget and opportunities because she thinks her her show is 'historical' - in other words, she wants special privileges because of who and what she is. All the other host work according to their timeslot but she wants special privileges.

And she was heavily promoted by UA-cam. She still chooses not to 'get' the reactions about the Forbes list. The list was based on VIEWS. No one dreamed up the list. She was off the list bc she didn't adapt her content to her maturing audience and focused more heavily on her victim narrative.
Plus her views had plummeted years prior to late night. She failed to adapt to her maturing audience. She started whining instead of looking at how to change.@Backupbackupplan
Women are over half the planet/country. Women have the right to view anything the want in the developed world. So you can't blame sexism for any YoutTube gap. It's based on views, period. And she was a top UA-cam earner for years.
Who paid YOU to say that 😜, all these comments against her are paid for ppl wake up. Because they don’t want people who tell the truth like she does. She ruins their plans. Keep going Lilyyyyyy 😁😁😁😁

This is what happens when you don't have good friends around. You inflate your ego and get a false self image. Don't be a victim like Lilly Singh. Be a normal human being. Embrace your strengths and weaknesses and deal with the world like a matured adult.
Quite possibly she had those people in her life, but drove them out because she wanted only yaaaasqueeners.
Be a normal human being? Why do you hate someone reaching for more. Are people not allowed to dream and strive to make change? Normal is so subjective. And most normal people are miserable because normal does not exist and we tire and depress ourselves trying to be what we think everyone wants us to be

Honestly, my god.
So let me get this straight. She experienced sexism in her country(India) and then moved to western country where she was treated equally and you could argue even disproportionally well to the point where she is worth millions (not exaggeration), had a late night show, got doors open to places where only very very few can reach but cries about being oppressed and is mainly mad at western, white dominated countries? Some one make it make sense...
uh first of all she was born in canada, she didn't move from anywhere, second of all she also said that india (introduction in the beginning) and white dominated countries both are just as bad if you listened to her speech the MAIN point she makes is that she got a seat at the table, why is she complaining she got a seat at the table while others are waiting out in the cold, when that seat is wobbly and she did not get enough recognition. this is a metaphor to literally what you just said "doors open to places where only very very few can reach" why she didnt get that recognition is debatable (because her show wasnt that successful as some people think or the media actually didnt include her because of her different perspective and she's a woman and all that) and she is not mainly mad at western white dominated countries LOL listen to her intro and entire speech once again before making comments she said sexism is prevalent everywhere
I hope I helped it make sense...next time try actually watching the vid instead of skipping through and assuming what she says... you definitely did not get it straight LOL
Yh cuz she’s being paid to trash white people. The ones who own the media are pushing this narrative. It’s all scripted.

Her sexual orientation and skin color IS her everything.

@@Jokerxeno1 i know lily singh in UA-cam. I always watched her before. What I'm saying is her TV presence. You cant tell me that her show is not rooted in her identity when it was always talked about in her monologues and its branded as the "first bisexual woman of color to have late night TV". It was always about her and frankly enough, it is one of the reason why her show didn't last for long. People are sick of her narrative and unfunny jokes about hrr identity
Bottom line, you have to work hard to be successful, whichever gender you are. There are no shortcuts.
Yea she the last person who needs a Ted talk
When I imagine what the lack of self awareness looks like, I picture Lilly Singh. This video is no exception. She's come to represent the delusion and entitlement of certain people today. For the sake of posterity, I'm glad this video exist. As I'm sure these receipts will come in handy.
I watched her interviewed (it's somewhere on YT) and she talked about how she is a very self-aware person and that it's her greatest strength and I actually laughed out loud
@@awill3454 Same. I know exactly what interview you're talking about too. I literally snort laughed when she said that. That one syllable combination of a snort and a "hah!" It's very unpleasant. Like Lilly Singh.

I think it is exactly opposite. It's the example of self awereness much exceeding persons talent and knowledge.
Conan O'Brien in the 90s was proof that legitimate humor could elevate a show despite following the more promoted Jay Leno. Lilly had a better chance than most to strut her stuff, only her stuff wasn't up to snuff.
What a luxury it must be to always have someone else to blame for your failure.
That's exactly what they do. They climb the ladder on someone else's back, that someone else built, just whining and complaining the entire way. Then they get into undeserved positions of power, and start the process of destruction on everything they touch.

@@luna-tl9jq She's definitely thriving online . Good for her .
So all of her failures are others fault, and not hers. Got it.
Sounds like a lot of excuses for why her late night show was cancelled…. It was cancelled because it simply wasn’t funny….not because of her race, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, or any other self identifying category. I think she has potential, but playing the victim isn’t a good move
The first monologue she gave on her show stated “white people are afraid to see people of color host a talk show”. If that isn’t the most racist, ignorant crap I’ve ever heard…. Implying that we’re all here shaking in our boots, because we’re so racist we can’t fathom the idea of a person from another culture being the leader of anything. Insane.
Ofcourse they will give her a huge challenge because for one she is essentially a competitor and everyone knows traditional media wants to show that yt'bers cannot do what they do. Also just for it being a HUGE risk for them. I'm not even saying they wanted her to fail because they chose exactly what she complained about the headlines and then after praised that a little melanin, women blabla let's go 🤦♂️ She just wasn't in no way cut out for the job. Late night hosting is one of the hardest and they propably tought she can make some bland average bs before committing with serious money but she Completely Embarrasingly dropped the ball.
If you watch Conan's up and coming to be a host for someone who was a no-name (that was a Huge deal especially in 90's) it's some brutal stuff, but the up-side is that he has always been very funny and smart. So they made it work even tho being under a constant pressure of cancellation for A Long Time.
She just simply isn't funny. I was at the time of her yt peak aaaround the demographic and hated the Shane Dawson/Lily Singh type of comedy when it kinda was The Thing in youtube. It was more so that ok here is Some people who are doing something more formatted without it really working yet for the people who got on it. So as always there is mainstream people, who chooses the flashy formatted mediocrety over content that is Something. That's what got her ego all messed up, thinking she actually is funny and has these amazing opinions. Nah, you just got on the curb of a wave and populus will go with it. Just like later happened with Logan Paul, straight up nonsense content but it was something new. Then there have been people like Caisy Neistat who Actually knew what he was doing and did it with not ONLY being on the new wave but smart and inventive about it. Another is simple Felix, Pewdiepie, no matter that there is bad content he have always been high up because well one he have managed to change the format with times, but mostly because he is geniuine and people like that (he is even Legit funny now but that took time, people just liked him because as we northern europeans do not largely try to be flashy and are quite humble)(for example I remember yeeeaaars ago when he said: "I try to be a comedian, I know I'm not there but I'm learning guys.. so just bear with me" and not assume that he is the funniest youtuber ever for joking and people liking him. Like Lily did).
Craig Ferguson was genuinely funny, talented, put in the effort and hustle which you could see in every episode, was charming, intelligent, and a positive dude, and no one even remembers him in the late night talk show sphere. But Lily, an unfunny, gay, female Narcissist of color with a UA-cam channel most people never even heard of, "wasn't given enough opportunities."
This is a TED Talk on what NPD looks like.
There's literally a clip on UA-cam where she's on Jimmy Fallon announcing her new talk show at NBC late night, and one of the things she emphasized (I kid you not) was the enormous size of her staff. How everywhere she walked there was another person introducing themselves as a member of her staff, like "Hi, I'm your staff limo driver" etc., yet HERE she says the polar opposite, that her staff was about 6 people.
My assumption is it started off large and as the studio saw how much she sucked it got smaller. She's only remembering the six people at the end. I mean they're not important enough to remember anyway right?
Yeh in her guest appearance on Jimmy Fallon she says she has some 100 staff.
The fact that this is supposed to be a TED talk is funnier than any of Lilly's jokes ever.
I thought this was the production of Onion Network.
i thought it was a TED x talk. This must be like a part one or something then a psychologist comes out in part 2 and is like "how to identify a narcissist"
Must’ve been Open Mic Night lol
She got an opportunity for late night show as first female host of late show and alsp first indian woman to host late night show. And she blew it off that opportunity. We lernt that representation should be on merit basis not based on how you look or your color.
she literally talked for 5 minutes on why the show wasn't able to do as good. A lot of technical issues and lack of support. A show doesn't depend on ONE single person you know? But ofc you wouldn't bother to consider all that talk cuz you've already decided for yourself.

Instead of using her platform and Ted talk to inspire and educate…she used it to talk about how amazing she is and pick petty fights with an industry she failed at. Wow

Listen to what she says, she says she wants a seat at the table. She doesn't want to earn it she just wants it given to her
While not caring that almost none of the previous hosts of the show had the limelight and the seat she wants. They all had to work hard for it. It's the late late show. It's not Prime late night.

Thank you, finally someone said it.
First, stop all this "crazy women" thing.
Second, a seat should not be conditional, "if girls want"... We're women and should BE in those seats.
Yes, other women do create competition and trash talk others (much like you are doing), but it's mostly because we are encouraged to do so. Instead of being judgmental and hate on other women let's check our beliefs and actions to see how we can encourage and better us, so together we can build a better future
I wish I was as oppressed as this heroic warrior against oppression who gets multimillion dollar TV shows and book deals and gets paid to travel the world talking bollocks about herself and other vacuous pap. Truly, she has inspired me to want to be a millionaire celebrity by being oppressed. Hopefully, if I can pay my rent and bills next month, someone can oppress me and keep me down by paying me millions. Stunning and brave.
You probably could and if you’re a (gasp) white man, you can always identify as a woman and claim oppression points that way.
Shame that she didn’t talk about all the female late night hosts that came before her and the amazing ones that are killing it as day time hosts (Drew Barrymore, Kelly Clarkson) sure, the day time talkshow format and landscape is very different to late night, but I think it’s worth acknowledging
Why are you moving the needle? She is the first late night host on a major network. When Joan Rivers hosted her show on Fox in the 1986, the show among the just launched Fox's first line up. No shade on the other late night talk show hosts, who were/are ground breakers, smart and hilarious.
What about Wanda Sykes ? An actually funny black woman who got a late night show in 2009 ! And on Fox too ! What , fox isn’t a major network ?? Are you only saying this because Lily herself stated that ? Echochambers man …
Also , Wanda Sykes came out as gay in 2008 , before she was the first person of color on a late at a major network . So there’s literally nothing special about her besides the fact she started from nothing doing UA-cam which is basically the only respectable thing I can say , I will give her props on that .

Thank you so much for putting this tutorial on "How not to TED Talk". This is a very nice summary by Lilly Singh. Very helpful.
7:10 bishhhh that’s what you called yourself!! Lily kept repeating over and over again on her show, and people noticed that. She knows it was dumb, so now she’s deflecting those statements she made onto others. Don’t put the blame on the media 🤦🏾♀️ and she clearly still didn’t understand why she got backlash for that her tweet about the Forbes list. And about her late night show? When will she realize that she just wasn’t very funny in it, and that the show was cringe overall. She gets so defensive and doesn’t introspect about the criticism she is receiving. There is no doubt she is trailblazer in more ways than one, but it’s okay to acknowledge that not everything she did was worthy of praise. No need to get defensive and say it’s Lily against the world.
I’m surprised almost no one in the comments is calling her out.
Ig she talked about how media talked about her before the show and she might have adopted it. No wonder the show was cringe it had such a tight schedule, with that the likelihood of decreased efficiency or creativity is expected.
I'm actually depressed that there are people in the comments taking this lunatic seriously.
One of the select few who rise to fame on UA-cam actually offered TV show- instead of being grateful for the 1 in a million opportunity, it fails and she blames everyone but herself. She totally twisted the criticism about the Forbes list as it was based strictly on views - no gender bias. She fell off bc her views dropped- because of HER content. She seems incapable of self reflection.

My favorite part is that all of her complaints.....are literally valid for the previous host of the same show, in the same time slow, that ran for 2000+ episodes and wasn't cancelled immediately. So it wasn't a budget issue, or a support issue from the studio, because Craig made it work. It must have been....something else. Something totally unrelated to whether Lily is actually funny or entertaining. That must have been what was the issue!
Some of the way these things are framed is kind of misleading... Lilly perpetuated the "bisexual woc" angle when her show came out and I'm pretty sure its a point she emphasized in some of her announcement videos. And Twitter wasn't mad at what Lilly said about the Forbes list, it was how she delivered it. Plus, her show is half the time of most other ones (which may be problematic in itself) and explains why she had to film more per day. I think it's sad but clear that some of Lilly's attitude/reaction to feedback from the 1st season tainted people's interest in the second which I think unfortunately made a lot of the good takes she had fall through the cracks. I used to be a huge supporter of Lilly but in recent years, she's really lost me. I sill respect her hustle and want to root for her which is why I even watched this but never seems to do much public reflection/holding accountablility which I just can't get down with. I'm glad she got to do this talk though and she's definitely right that women need to be more focused on making space for more of us, not just securing ourselves and calling it justice
YES
Agreed, I really do think people should think about what problem they might have themselves and tryna improve it instead trying to find a way out of their circumstances by complaining about the society structure.
Obvioulsy, Im not saying we should not criticize wrong things at all, but at least people shouldnt complain every inch of the structure if things dont go to where they want to.
As a longtime fan of Lilly, I agree with everything that you said. I was so excited for her when she announced her show but I found it disappointing. I'm kind of relieved to hear that a lot of it was due to the conditions that she had to work under because I still really hope she succeeds. But also, I feel like in recent years, she's changed and become more entitled and less receptive to constructive criticism, which she always seems to attribute to discrimination. I respect her mission in trying to get equality for women and minorities, as a woman of colour myself. But I often don't agree with some of the messages.
For example, a lot of the time I hear "well people respect white men who are overconfident, condescending and bossy so women and people of colour should be able to do that as well". However, it's always been my opinion that instead of changing society so that everybody is respected when they're overconfident, condescending and bossy, why don't we instead change society to expect everybody to be more modest, respectful and patient?
@@monkiram lol it wasn't the conditions she had to work under, she's saying that because it's hard to say "I'm not a good talk show host, I should stick to making childish content for kids because I'm better at being loud and making faces"

@@utterlyrelaxed9109 Well, If all we do I comparing ourselves with other people and blaming them for all the downfalls in our lives then we would go far ay.
That is what I meant
You think you deserve a seat? Start working for it. Giving handouts to beggars substitutes extremely poorly for a semblance of equality.
The comments supportive of this person is one of the most black pilling things ever.
When she went into “I have over blah blah amount of subscribers on utube” I almost switched off. While trying to show how tough it is with her grandpa or dad she still has to let everyone know how great she is, urgh
So, LiLy's biggest traumas, this chip so heavy in her shoulders comes from....having a traditional family....not an abusive family, not a father or mother who abandoned her, or parents who were drug addicts or criminals, nope.....the big big trauma of her...is...ohh..... my family is traditional.....some people really are privileged....😅
"Men are making more money than me, but they also have 20 times the views on videos..."
"That must be because women are opressed!"
A true genius of our time and not an industry plant at all lmao
Dear lilly I just have to say how inspirational this ted talk is, you are proof that even with all the advantages, wealth, favours from famous friends and an unlimited amount of choices I too can fail. In a way that is true equality, at least you finally made me laugh.
"Build better tables"
Wow. That's awesome. It's one of those quotes that you know will go down in history. Lilly is amazing!
TED Talk just threw their reputation out the window.
Big thanks to NBC for canceling this complete narcissist's garbage show. ❤
Remember they are the ones who gifted her a show, so it's a disaster they created
As an Indian, I'm saying this on behalf of my entire race that we hereby disown her. The Canadians can have her.
I live in a very sexist country and it makes me sad that the suffering that I go through is reduced to this insane show of narcissism
I'm sorry your country is sexist.
This is unintentional comedy at its best
Claims at beginning "I wanted to be treated equally" and 5 minutes later "unfortunately the budget wasn't based on the historic aspect" of show. She WAS treated equally but wanted special treatment...
I’m so glad that from where I come from people like her are ridiculed and made fun of to such an extent that either they throw away the whole facade or they simply distance themselves from the community. Works great either way.
This is a really great Tard talk…. I learned so much.
One of the most privileged women on the planet is preaching about being oppressed. I'm sure all the low income manual labor workers holding together our infrastructure are so inspired.
its painful to see so many people who have built things that everyone benefits from in life, not get recognition, let alone a "seat at the table". Meanwhile, people like Singh here gets all that without producing anything meaningful, AND has the audacity to preach about how hard done by in life she is.
@@surabhi7419 Rich, makes money making crappy jokes, gets to complain about non problems and be praised for it, gets away with racism because of the way she looks, and generally has had everything handed to her in life. Not to mention she got to have a show way longer than it deserved considering the super low ratings and criticisms.
How is she a privileged woman??
She was the one who inspired me at a point in my life when I was about to give up and I was fed up of being a women...living in suffocating society
I hope the world gets better
I am a lot stronger now , I hope I can also make a difference!
you must be a joke or joking
@@souijaboi3198 no u are :)) your life is an entire circus
Suffocating society. Said on your smartphone that a 9 year old Chinese girl made with a su*cide net around the building.
Funny nobody cares about actual women that are being mistreated. It's more convenient and easy to stay in your tower of privledge and talk about how hard that is then actual issues in the world.
@@souijaboi3198
Maybe they went "I don't want to turn out like that", and that was their inspiration.
That’s a sad n pathetic story 😂
I'm glad to see the majority of the people in the comment section, like me, are tired of her not taking accountability
It’s so nice to see TED talks allowing a platform for this mentally handicapped woman to tell her story of how she is the biggest victim on the planet earth.
She's only worth $10 million. That's very disadvantaged compared to Oprah.
The UA-cam star who’s fans aged from 10-15 couldn’t manage to host a show to entertain adults. Shocking. Truly.
Lilly Singh promoting victim mentality
I am gonna save you 20 minutes. Only reason lily singh isn't successful is because of the entire world not finding her funny and the world should change.
And she wants women to have power without even proving their potential and worth.
Yep
Her problem is that she made a very bad show. She took all of things she was good at on youtube and threw them out after getting a network show. She became a nothing but a smug, tedious avatar for all of the victim groups she belongs to. Craig Ferguson had the same time slot and problems, and he leaned into the poverty and low audience numbers making them part of the joke.
I listen to this Ted talk periodically bcuz every word is true. I need this truth to really sink into my entire being so that i can stay on track and be on team “make the world a better place” using the gifts i have been given. Thank you for all the work you did to deliver this brilliant thought provoking speech. Now….. everybody! LISTEN to every word
😂😂😂. Yeah
This woman is AMAZING 🤩 she works sooo hard and the good will always outweigh the hate. She is talking about things that aren’t talked about enough. She’s inspired me everyday and I luv her ❤ she is ANYTHING but a narcissist
I don't understand the "you should have a boy" as if we have a damn choice.
Desi families are weird. We need to end this sexism.
I am not desi, but I support this message
@@z_z_s2157 How does she act and dress like a boy? Genuinely curious
@@dahlia5644 @z_z_s same...
@@dahlia5644 I don't know what you mean act like a boy. She acts like Lilly. And she is wearing a suit and it is pink. Be more specific
@@mariee.5912 Re-read what i wrote. I was replying to someone and they had said she acts like a boy and I asked why.

Lily Sighn: _”But I’m a bisexual woman of color. All I have is my pointless identity on the mortal plain, my ironic hateful bigotry and venting my misplaced/unjust anger in the form of unfunny identity politics comedy.”_

She is speaking as if she wasn't in a position of privilege. How many men have had the opportunity that she had? She had an opportunity that many folks in her industry can only dream of but fumbled the bag then comes out and blames everyone but herself. How many women in the audience have had such a huge opportunity?
I want her to take this talk, and repeat it word for word to a woman who actually went through hardship. If that woman comes out of this inspired, then I'm the living breathing queen Elizabeth the 1st of England.
A millionaire given millions for not making her own fans laugh and still given more millions is not enough and she needs more millions for nothing. That's why feminists changed from equality to equity. They've had equality for one hundred years but that meant equal work. Equity means free $hit for not being being a straight white male.
Which by the way wasn't her critics but her own advertisement and material reminding us she's a non white bi woman every ad and episode her critics didn't care.
Her entire shtick is saying "IM A BI NON WHITE WOMAN ISN'T THAT FUNNY?"
5:30 I thought everyone knew the earning gap was Bs
To be fair to Lily, 476K views (as of 24/08/2023) is 100 times the audience numbers who tuned into her TV show! Stick to UA-cam, Lils!
Stop conflating "equity" with equality. Equity means fairness. It is not fair to have equal representation when some people are devoting more time and energy to their professions. For most women, having and raising kids is the most important thing in their lives. So they devote less time to their careers, and more time to their families/kids. For most men, providing for their children/mates and attracting attractive mates is the most important thin in their lives, so they devote more time to their careers. And you therefore end up with differential outcomes. (Men are also probably funnier on average, for what that's worth. It's not like there's no inherent differences between the sexes. Women are likely better in other respects.)
Note that Indian-Americans generally out-earn White Americans, so it's not a question of racism. Note also that single, childless women under 35 generally out-earn their male counterparts in the U.S., so it's not a question of sexism either. It's simply a matter of preferences and choices.
As an Indian who stays in India, and assuming that you're an American, I would gladly say that Lilly is your problem now.
Humble Apologies.
Despite being given every advantage possible, she failed and blamed others.
Wow
We really NEED to stop platforming ungrateful narcissists like her.
make the water fountains equitable again
Lady complaining about "equity" while simultaneously less useful to society AND still worth more than a janitor dude and his entire life savings.
When someone's had preferential treatment their entire lives, equal treatment seems like oppression - Thomas sowell
Hard for anyone to argue with her overall message about a seat at the table but a little unfair of her to blame her NBC experience on her gender, ethnicity or sexuality. The show had very bad ratings and her audience was significantly lower than the Carson Daly show that she replaced. Also NBC gave her a retooled season 2 since Covid may have impacted season 1. But it still failed. Nobody wants to own it anymore. It is always someone else. Maybe, just maybe, the late night audience didn’t think Lily was funny. Maybe it has got nothing to do with the Boys’ club and everything to do with her content and delivery for late night? Is that potentially a possibility?
I am shocked and so moved by hearing such a stunning and brave woman explaining to all of us how much of a victim she is. I work 6 to 6 every day, and still cannot but feel so sorry for her, and how she is still being victimised every day by not being allowed to sit at the table. And how disgusting of a grandfather, definitely a toxic male. The patriarchy is still strong, my friends. Luckily we have warriors like Lilly Singh breaking it every day.
You're so gullible believing her story throwing her own family under the bus to victimised herself... again!
@nabily2k, you do know, don’t you, that there’s a thing called sarcasm, right?
@@FranklyFarcical I'm glad that you just realised there's something called sarcasm.
She talks about the seat at the table like it means automatically she should be given extra privileges. Did Carson Daly, the person she replaced have anything even remotely similar like her? Did he complain? The show operates on the merit of the timeslot but she thinks she should be given a bigger budget and opportunities because she thinks her her show is 'historical' - in other words, she wants special privileges because of who and what she is. All the other host work according to their timeslot but she wants special privileges.
Considering you get 7 tiles in Scrabble and “gratitude” is a 9 letter word it’s highly unlikely anybody has ever played it and that she’s ever played Scrabble.
Oppressed Queen Mentality 👸
She did Children's comedy on UA-cam. Who decided she needed a Ted Talk?!
Wow, I can't think for a minute why her show failed, everyone hates her and women didn't watch her in droves.
