- Since getting cancelled a few years ago, Lilly Singh has pretty much dropped out of popular media. But last year she gave a Ted Talk where she does her explain to why she failed, and answer may not surprise you. Lilly was quick to blame the patriarchy and racism - but is she right?
In this video, I analyze Lilly Singh Ted Talk, and where it all went so wrong.

Lily after finding out that her being a bisexual woman of colour doesn't automatically make her funny: 👁👄👁
I WAS WAITING FOE THIS COMMENT. It was like every three minutes
She's racist, all she talks about is race. She's full of pride. She's jealous of white people and it shows. She flaunts her money ALL THE TIME like c'mon lady get a life. She hates men, pretty women, and comedy.
What's scary is that, now and in future, your identity gives you more opportunity than your talent.
She wasnt going for funny she was trying to increase her Social Credit Score.
"When you're used to getting preferential treatment, equality feels like discrimination.” - Thomas Sowell
Why do so many feminist comedians forget that one important factor in being a good comedian is being funny?
Liberal humour isnt supposed to be funny.
Its social affirmation to the sound of seal claps.
@@DLC1990 my favourite socially motivated standup was always underdogs laughing at grim situations we can all relate to. Getting up on a high horse and pointing out why you’re right and others are wrong is rarely ever entertaining
Applause 'comedy' isn't about humor, it's just about social manipulation.
It's just grandstanding.
@@axiss5840 as a matter of fact, there’s even a word for it now…Clapter
Because unlike most men, they can shame their way to the top.
"Laugh or you're canceled, BIGOT!"
She says she's bi so many times that you actually start doubting if that is true
lol...so true
Let her name one woman she has dated. Yeah, starting to sound like the good ol' "you don't know my girlfriend, she goes to a different school".
It's all theoretical if no one wants to go near you 🤣
She's probably straight.
How can se be "bi" if there are five gazillion genders 🤔 No wonder she got cancelled.
When i was younger i found her hilarious. When i was YOUNGER. her humour is fit for 12-16 year olds. Not adults.
Lol like Dane Cook
That’s not true my parents love her comedy and my friend’s family’s too sooo😊
@@projectfungirldrawings I also love avatar the last air bender which as much as I love it- it is a kids show targeted at kids. I can enjoy it AND acknowledge that the audience is minors.
@@kanyasunhe oh ok
That TED talk was very cringy. It's almost like she blames everyone and everything for her failure except herself.
And if she blames everyone, then who was she making the show for?
she also thinks she is the only female to be born in India apparently
Standard left MO
i thought her Ted talk was absolute comedy gold. I gave it a 10/10 must watch!
@billted3323 other losers who blame all their problems on everyone else
"In 2019, I made history"
We really need to raise the bar on historical events.
lmao this^
She made history for being unfunny and annoying.
😂
I’m weak😭🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
I’m 35 and when I was a kid, parents used to talk about the negative impact of things like participation trophies. I think this type of attitude is what happens when kids don’t learn some harsh realities of the world. Her show received a small budget because the network had no idea if the show would make money. If she brought in views, they’d give her more money. A business owner’s obligation is not to an employee’s personal life, but to ensure the growth and stability of their business.
It's a shame to see her self-destruct. She seems to not realize that it doesn't matter if her points are valid or invalid, people are turned off by excessive victimhood mentalities.
Singh: You should hire me because I’m brown and queer.
Also Singh: It feels like you only hired me because I’m brown and queer.
Can't win lol
And the extent that anyone has proof she is bi is just her saying it.
Singh: They canceled Me because I am brown and queer! 😂
@@Not_Always Just like Megan Fox. Who has never dated any woman publicly and dresses for the male gaze.
and
“you should all listen to me because I’m brown and queer”
🙄😑
"I made history" are words that should never come out of anyone's mouth
People who never said it: Buzz Aldrin, Marie Curie, Winston Churchill
People who have said it: Lily Singh, Meghan Markle
Narcissism is one hell of a drug.
Reminds me of Karine Jean-Pierre saying she (herself) is an historical figure
In private maybe. Lol
@@iainl9725Also Karine Jean Pierre says she ‘historical’
One time I commented on one of Lilly’s videos and got a few likes. I said something along the lines that she reminded me of my favorite cousin, so happy, funny & clever but that I hoped that one day she would find herself and start being genuine.
Years later, she came out as bisexual and at the time I thought it was her bisexuality, but there’s something in her eyes that have never felt genuine, it’s like she still havent found herself and is just pretending to be a person that she just simply isn’t.
Lilly still reminds me of my favorite cousin, they physically look alike and personality wise they still are the same. Mid 30s and no accountability.
On the other hand, being funny on youtube doesn’t make you funny on TV where the audience is more mature.
Arsenio Hall was the first black late night show host and his show lasted for over 20 years. Carol Burnett got her own show before most of us were born and it was tv gold. They were actually funny!
Arsenio Hall's show only lasted six years, and for the record, he and Carol Burnett were never funny.
It depends on the person. @@ruling528
@@ruling528 Yes they were. Carol and Arsenio are funny to plenty of people. You're not the grand decider of what's funny or not, just a narcissist that thinks your opinion is fact
My takeaway from her TED talk is that she sounds remarkably proud of her failure. I mean practically gloating.
To the woke social justice warrior cult, they consider failing a re-validation of their beliefs that every straight white man is personally out to get them.
More victimhood points!
I think she imagines that her failure is her "success in showing how society is still run by straight white males"
She has a maxxed out Social Credit Score and see wants you to know it!
The goal of woke people is not to be good at their jobs. Their goal is to be a "victim". So of course she is gloating over her failure.
Its not a comedy show for her. It's just a chance for her to rant about her political views and project her insecurities
Be careful
Heaven forbid you have to put in some late nights at the writing table and you know some effort into making your show successful guaranteed she was the first one out the door when they yelled cut
Her show turned out to be some political and gender proganda , nothing democratic about it
That too, Aired from The US 😅
😂😂😂😂
She was given the stage, she was given the opportunity , she was handed over the platform yet she failed because she was not skilled enough. THATS IT
My head hurts from eye rolling so much at her(Singh) excuses. Doesn't it get tiring always seeing yourself a victim even when you arent?
She got preferential treatment off of it so I’m gonna go with no. It might even be her natural way of acting now.
I read your comment as she was saying something and involuntarily rolled my eyes at whatever she said, lol.
I think I pulled a muscle from all the groaning I did... I was only 2 mins into her TED talk. If I kept going my face would end up like a victim in The Ring.
@@chazzitz-wh4ly True. Victim status does get rewarded these days.
@@KitBarKat21 Lol same. Even my shoulders slump haha.
I’d forgotten all about this woman. It should take a few hours before I do so again.
haha minutes*
Yeah I remember watching a couple of her vids (Can't remember if it was UA-cam or Facebook). Didn't really find her funny then.
by the next video i should think
I've already forgot who we are talking about.
@@chosencode5881seconds*
I was wondering this exact question! THanks for answering it so well!
One thing entertainment has taught us through history, no matter who/what you are, if you have talent then the masses will love you.
No Lilly, the invisible gatekeeper is talent. There have been funny, successful women for decades. You’re just not one of them anymore because all you talk about is yourself.
Amen
While doing the fortnite dance.
But she was so Bisexual and her skin was so colored and she was a woman who was bisexual and of color that her perspective and insight was so keen and Sharpe that there was no topic her colored bisexualness couldn't shed light on ...because she was a bisexual woman of color and......
@@davidgerald133 It’s a shame because if she were only a bisexual, disabled, non-binary they of color, then she’d automatically be the funniest person on the planet.
Not many though, but there have been a few.
Lily was promoted HEAVILY by the network and media. Shes a very toxic person that claims victimhood but comes from a very wealthy family in Canada. Shes very narcissistic and entitled. She found out that being a minority and woman may get you opportunities but it still takes talent to keep an audience. I think people are sick of hearing very rich, priveldged people complain. We are SICK of it.
And we all know now, being a well off Punjab in Canada certainly seems likely to put you at odds with the plight of the common man (Punjabi or otherwise).
Almost every Indian family that comes to the west is wealthy. They wouldn't be able to afford to do it otherwise. Her trying to claim victimhood is hilarious to me.
@@Not_Always Though I assume they mean corporate wealthy not we bought a corner store or two wealthy.
splitting hairs here, might as well go cut hair @@techsoul5590
being a minority adn women gets your oppurtunities ??? really ??
I am pretty sure that many of the comedians who got a show worked their butt off on top of being extremely talented
And don’t need a team of writers to maintain their comedic value. She’s just not funny. It’s simple as that
Your comments about gratitude and humility are spot on. i was just thinking about the stark contrast between Conan O'Brein's gratitude and humility and Lilly Singh's entitlement and pride. Conan left late night TV at the top of his game and he never missed an opportunity to thank his team or David Letterman, another late night host with gratitude and humility, for all the support that helped him throughout his successful career.
Narcissism as "social activism" is something we see from a lot of celebrities nowadays. I'm so tired of people who appear in TV shows and movies pretending they're the new Martin Luther King Jr for just appearing on screen.
It's worse than that, they basically think they are the 2nd coming of Jesus.
all while standing on the shoulders of true giants
At least MLK had the feds behind him right up until they were done with him.
a lot of Indian women are very annoying and self-centered, that's why the families seek out boys
As an Indian, I 'am sad to see this. Lilly went from one of most relatable humble women with universal appeal to self-centered, woke SJW with extremely divisive thinking. 😥😥
Yepp ... she always had that typical Punjabi oversmartness .... but she was tolerable! But guess what, like most woke MFs, she started hating her origins without knowing anything about it!
"Relateble humble"?
Her fan base is literally 12 years old.
How old are you?
She's racist, all she talks about is race. She's full of pride. She's jealous of white people and it shows. She flaunts her money ALL THE TIME like c'mon lady get a life. She hates men, pretty women, and comedy.
@@khairt1731 😂
That's what wealth and fame can do to people, sadly
I recall her being a featured guest in the Philippines years before this tv show and she came off as such a spoiled, self important snob that she alienated many many local fans. Her gaslighting afterwards turned me off completely. It seems the rest of the world eventually figured it out
Craig Ferguson was the funniest of them all. One hell of a host.
Her humble bragging drives me crazy. Her show was terrible and she is just not funny. She was a DEI hire and that is why she failed.
She's racist, all she talks about is race. She's full of pride. She's jealous of white people and it shows. She flaunts her money ALL THE TIME like c'mon lady get a life. She hates men, pretty women, and comedy.
Also, even back when everybody watched TV nobody watched that 1:30am time slot that she was in.
The studio did not do her any favors beyond getting her a show, but her really weak performance didn’t help.
I don't think the DEI was really the reason she failed, it's just a classic case of "Peter Principle." , people are often promoted until they reach a position at which they are incompetent.
no, she was hired for being the right skin color and sexuality. Not her talent, which was nonexistent. @@agmuntianu
Lilly Singh isn't a comedian. She simply identifies as one. A true woke warrior.
:-D :-D :-D most underrated comment
🤣🤣🤣
She's "UA-cam funny"😂
@RVDeepu savage is your first name or last name?
Simple and Best. Nothing can describe her this easy.
Oof! It was tough getting through even those brief clips of Singh’s TED Talk. What an insufferable young woman.
I’ll bet the people at TED couldn’t wait to post that one. Meanwhile, a talk like Coleman Hughes’s gets buried.
Good video, Baggage Claim.
Great video 👏
She started saying” thank you thank you” before they even cheered 3:31 , so sad how much she loves herself and thinks she is relevant . Sad I can’t stand it at all
Lily: "I was PRIVILEGED to live in the United states. I was PRIVILEGED to get a good education. I was PRIVILEGED to work in Hollywood. I was PRIVILEGED to make MILLIONS and MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! *THEREFORE I AM OPPRESSED AND A VICTIM!"*
Born and raised in Canada and rich enough to move to California.
Lol Lib math 😂
Yes baby... Im gonna c*mmmmmmm
Its interesting how someone with humor that doesnt land with peopl above 16 y/o got a late night show and thinks she got oppressed.
It's everyone's fault but mine - Lilly Singh
She's a Legend in Her Own Mind...🤦♂️
This was not a TED talk. It was a bratty 7 year old telling her mom why EVERYBODY in her school was bad and that she should have been the captain of the football team just because
When will TED finally talk?
voila
Lily Singh is the perfect example of what happens when you reward mediocrity
I wouldn’t say that she was mediocre. In fact, she was pretty amazing when she had just started out and she was quite relatable, which a lot of other people have also mentioned. But yes, the quality of her content degraded as she rose to popularity.
@@navneetnancy1154 the quality of her content didn’t degrade, it started mediocre and ended mediocre. She was praised on UA-cam because her content demographic was kids. When she went out into the masses she learned quickly she is a one trick pony and was in fact mediocre. Some people can escape UA-cam when they have real talent, she failed.
@@navneetnancy1154she’s definitely mediocre
@@navneetnancy1154Pretty amazing to who? Girl couldnt' make me laugh if her life depended on it
@@navneetnancy1154 I wouldn't say she's mediocre either, she'd need to get much better to reach mediocrity.
Ive resubsrcibed!!! I didnt know i wasnt!! That you for give constructively critsism!!! Im going to watch you in marathon form!
Dude whoever told her it was a good idea to keep the table analogy running the whole time and keep referencing it in new ways like “wobbly seat” and “they’re outside the restaurant in the cold” really did her a disservice
The key mistake Lilly makes is she thinks that being 'brown, queer, female' are barriers. They are actually her greatest weapons. That triple identity checkbox is probably the main reason she got a show in the first place, so that the network can meet its diversity goals.
And no one watched it.
They certainly didn't hire her cause she was funny, it's these woke activists who think immutable features are more important than personality and talent. And having read a lot of woke literature it seems to be their biggest failing.. personality, intelligence and talent doesn't seem to exist to that lot. Just race and sexuality (intersectionality) is what they claim is the basis of every human interaction. It's shortsighted but it suits their narrative. Honesty would defeat their argument
She got dropped like a ton of bricks because the system hates her, not that her show sucked and she wasn’t funny and that every episode was more of the same from the previous one.
"probably"
🎯
Lilly was never Lilly, she was a collection of modern complaints, oppression, victimology, underpaid, overworked, never satisfied. Maybe if Lilly had been herself, she might have been funny and fascinating.
Did you know she is a bisexual woman of color? She wont let you forget it.
All while she was making more money than myself and anyone I've met in our lifetimes. Sounds like real privilege to me.
She started making videos as herself and then turned into a product. A foulty one unfortunately.
She was boring very boring
may be this is the real Lilly.....
It was a eye opener for instagram and UA-cam creators, writing for an hour show is much different than 30 sec skits
100% agreed with u r POV!! When LS, was riding high on success that time she didn't realize that system is rigged, and all other crap.. she was given opportunity but that didn't work, doesn't mean that the producers were wishing her to fail, that will be insane!!
I stopped watching TED talks ages ago. I saw several that were just awful, and I realized they became a platform for celebrities and idiots to say dumb things. Looks like they have only gone downhill since.
As I recall, you pay them to take their stage. And a lot of them have been social activism BS for the last several years now.
Finding a good TED talk is like finding a goldmine at this point.
TED talks are hijacked by woke left ideologies. the real good ones are cancelled.
My last was that very large woman talking about fat issues. I was like "No, you eat to much" and I can say this because I was a very fat person who lost a ton of weight simply by stopping myself from eating tons of carbs and bad foods.
I drew the line when they gave a TED talk platform to a convicted murderer. Daniel Marsh. Real piece of work that one. TED Talks have lost all credibility with me. How could you give a platform to this man knowing the victim’s family would see it? Wtf
If ‘racism’ and ‘patriarchy’ are as potent as Singh desperately wants us to believe then she wouldn’t have had a career in the first place... 😉
The answer is transexualizing and transracializing herself. Then she can claim the white man card and get all the white man privileges. Or at least try to.
This is THE comment.
True
right?! i guess she doesn't realize most youtubers don't get their own tv shows. LOL
There's no patriarchy just lazy women
Being from the UK luckily means I’d never heard of this charming character until I saw this video.
Talk about entitlement and the inability to accept responsibility for one’s on actions - what a role model!
This video deserves more views and as a South East Asian, I always hated and felt cringe watching Lilly Singh! Attention seekers are never trying to fight for the community or for the movement but only for themselves.
Why Lilly Singh FAILED? She's delusional.
She did brown kid and brown/desi culture youtube videos and when she got late night, it all became about bashing white men and men in general
and overtly showing how queer was her identity and brown culture was lost just the color left, her shouting it out loud and being vulgar.
She became famous on UA-cam putting out a five minute video a week, then tried to transition to a high pressure format that needed several times that amount of material on a daily basis but wasn't prolific enough to hack it, hence the enormous amounts of quasi-political filler material provided by her LA writing room staffers.
My eyes glaze over as soon as “currency” is mentioned
You should send this to her, if you can. It is SO spot-on!
Anyone who uses the term "assign" for the factual determination of gender is too deluded to take seriously.
Exactly. Anytime anyone says that I instantly know that they can't reason properly so there's no sense in listening to them. No one is "assigned a gender at birth" except for the tiny percentage of intersex people with ambiguous genitalia.
Thank Baggage Claim for calling out her as a fellow Indian. Anyone who calls her out for what she is, is always labelled a +++ist.
Singh made it her entire shtick to bang hone that point every other line. She is a bisexual woman of color.
i think baggage claim is indian too so “those” type of people gives her a pass
@@specticentnah, we were with her during her youtube era, but then she became too woke!
Or accused of internalized racism.
Atheist? Artist?… no no… atheist. Right?
ETA: ableist?
Home run! I watched this month's ago, but I want to see more...so...I'm leaving a comment in hopes it will enhance your UA-cam algorithms.
Excellent content
By the time I get to the end of this video, it will already be the most Lilly Singh I've ever watched.
Ouch
Same, I was like...Who? at the beginning
@@ILoveMonorails96omg same 😅🙌🏻
ha ha same..aren't we lucky
She's racist, all she talks about is race. She's full of pride. She's jealous of white people and it shows. She flaunts her money ALL THE TIME like c'mon lady get a life. She hates men, pretty women, and comedy.
"There's an invisible gatekeeper called culture" - Right, and you cant change culture through top down preaching what people should think, at least not without a totalitarian regime.
Klaus Schwab, Larry Fink, and the other woke architects basically _are_ the regime. Luckily, they're running out of money, at this point.
A totalitarian regime is exactly what activists like her want. They want to reorganize the social order with themselves at the top, and without any accountability for themselves.
And she is also completely unaware that the culture she keeps complaining about opened the gate specifically because of the diversity boxes she checked off. It's pathetic how she's trying to shift the blame of her failure to anything but her.
You might have just pointed out the Marxist agenda.
As opposed to bottom-up mass social media-driven mobilization of racist white people on the left-right spectrum who play identity politics when it suits their interests?
Thank God She got Cancel❤🎉
00:00 📺 Lilly Singh, once a successful UA-camr and late-night TV show host, gave a TED Talk reflecting on her career.
00:56 🎤 In her talk, Lilly attributes her decline in popularity to the system being rigged against her.
02:47 💪 Lilly highlights her achievements in challenging traditional gender roles and biases within her family.
03:55 💰 Her late-night show, "A Little Late with Lilly Singh," faced budget constraints and time slot challenges.
05:33 📺 Lilly believes her unique identity (being brown, a woman, and bisexual) should have garnered her more support and recognition.
06:43 🙏 She argues against the idea of being grateful for opportunities, suggesting it's not a form of currency.
07:24 🎙️ The real issue, according to the speaker, is that her show was not well-received and faced challenges similar to others in her time slot.
08:50 🤣 Lilly's content on UA-cam used to be funny and honest but shifted to lecturing her audience on polarizing topics.
10:51 🧐 She rejects the ideas of humility and gratitude, hindering her ability to self-reflect and improve her content.
11:18 📈 Lilly suggests that constantly fighting for recognition prevented her from bringing her full self to the table.
What Lily doesn't say is that in India she probably would never have been able to achieve this kind of career and wealth. The western culture made it possible, the one she seems to be so uncomfortable living in.
She doesn't see a difference between the two. As far as she's concerned America is just as patriarchal as India.
well , its not true , we too have a lot of sjw womens as celebrity .( who soon becomes irrelevant)
@@tanmaykumar1753but she's doesn't even have talent equivalent to Arjun Kapoor or Swara Bhasker even ...
She's a phoney 😂
She's too average to have a India, the gender and patriarchy these are excuses. Many women are successful here in India and doing well in different walks of life, and they dont complain half as she does. The truth is may be she never have to struggle in life and got most of the things much easier than many, that's why she can speak that way.
Yes there are no female stars or icons in India. Women never become celebrities. Aishwarya Rai, Lata Mangeskar, Priyanka Chopra, Jayalalitha, Indira Gandhi and countless other female celebrities, politicians and icons are all fictitious.
She comes across both as an arrogant feminist, and as a Westernized desi who is overly eager to brag about her achievements while also maligning our ancestral culture (myself, am the son of a Punjabi Pakistani dad and mostly-Celtic white American mom). Constantly blaming our difficulties in life on being "brown" is an easy trap to fall into, but a horrible look, and a mindset that prevents growth and enlightenment.
Mind if I ask what a desi is?
@SweetPea1993 it means people from South Asia typically people from India, Pakistan and bangladesh
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Well said.
@@there_iguess thank you 😊
I appreciate your point about the Late Late show with Craig Feguson, that is how TV works. The shows on "Prime Time" get the most money, since that is where the big ADs get placed, you can't expect a 1:30AM time slot to have the same budge as the 8PM slot, there are simply not enough eyes to warrant charging ads the same. To your point, if she focused on being funny, and creative, and bringing more eyes to her content, she would have had chances for different time slots where there would have been more money.
She was the ultimate in box checking and she never stopped talking about it.
She girl-bossed from the top to the bottom
She's racist, all she talks about is race. She's full of pride. She's jealous of white people and it shows. She flaunts her money ALL THE TIME like c'mon lady get a life. She hates men, pretty women, and comedy.
During her UA-cam days she showed a racist comment from some unnamed person in middle America. It had one like, which you could see, but she failed to mention. She then went on to use this single person and their one fan as a jumping off point to attack an entire segment of the nation. It was the height of intellectual laziness.
Likely fake comment too.
Hey could you make a video about her interview with Anthony Padilla?
5:08 I am glad her show was cancelled. for 3 months, the anarchists blocked arterial roads leading up to the capital just because the farm subsidies which benefitted rich farmers were taken away. No where else in India farmers protested because it only benefited a few. And, this Khalistani sympathizer wants to speak about it??? how about the truckers protests? how about the biggest air bombing in world history before 9/11 when the khalistani extremists bombed a UK bound aircraft carrying over 350 passengers??
I had never heard of Lilly before now and AFTER hearing about her, I'm convinced she failed because of her incessant, obnoxious fixation on her race and gender.
The thing that I hate is she only started acting that way once she found success. She was so happy and grateful to be able to make genuinely comedic videos in her bedroom like all the UA-camrs did back in the day (I found them funny but I was like 12 so idk if they’d hold up) and once she started getting these major opportunities outside of UA-cam, she was suddenly “oh everyone hated me because I’m a woman” “no one wants a brown girl on the tv screen” like no, ur successful because ur those things. A normal brown girl in America. Like girl, don’t try to act like a victim because ur relatability is the reason you became so successful
Even though I agree, I can understand why it is such a big point for her. Indian culture can be absolutely BRUTAL in regards to their treatment of women.
@@emersyn444 Yes, but India has had a Female PM and other very important leaders. Regardless, Singh single mindedly focused on her own damn self and her political identity all the time, and it wasn't funny.
@dandylion : Having a female PM who came from a family of EXTREME privilege btw, does not mean the position of the ordinary Indian woman ( like the family Lilly 's parents comes from) is very good.
And Bisexuality. And now..Bipolarness 😂
How gracious of Lilly to throw the individuals who gave her an opportunity at NBC under the bus 👏🏾👏🏾
It seems like she expected NBC to throw their entire budget and writing staff on a huge gamble of a woman who has never done network TV before. You look at how a lot of the most famous people in media started, so many of em had to deal with unconventional setups and it sparked their creativity, the cheap props adding charm to the sketches. If she was such a great talent she should of relished having fewer writers, less people to insert their ideas into the script, allowing her to shine more and she would have more free reign, too many chefs and all that. But no instead because they didn't give a novice the same set up as Kimmel then clearly sexist and racist, glad she disapeared into simply being a producer at disney now, she can burn them to the ground along side her carrer.
"Have you been wondering whatever happended to Lily Singh?" NO. can't say I have.
A comedian needs laughs not applause. Too many "woke comedians" don't understand that
I never heard of her until today.
I literally Cannot Listen to her TedTalk It gives Me Second Hand embarrassment
I miss Craig Ferguson so much. I stopped watching late night talk shows when he left.
Craig Ferguson was probably the second best of the modern era, behind Conan. And both of them are basically Persona Non Grata in Hollywood cause they aren't woke enough and don't have "white guilt."
Craig Ferguson is my favorite late night talk show host besides Conan. Things just haven't been the same since he left. He's such a gem.
@@MarvinPowell1Another thing they have in common is both are very intelligent, grounded people which most of the other talk show hosts aren't. Johnny Carson was like that as well.
I never had the priviledge of seeing Craig when he was on TV but I have seen a lot of his work since on UA-cam and I quickly became a fan. Craig's show was genuinely funny and grounded. Even the stars he had on would say he was great at what he does and they'd say that during unrelated interviews.
Then James Corden got the job and got the show cancelled indefinitely. Says so much.
The only way that show should come back is to bring back Craig Ferguson.
Her lack of self awareness is astounding.
thats narcissists for ya
I had never even heard of her before.
How would she know that her grandfather didn’t know about her birth until 2 weeks later? Did her grandfather or parents tell her? Why would they tell her that? Doesn’t sound like a believable story to me….
The garland thing is BS as well. It's common in India to welcome family members in this way, especially those you haven't met in person before or haven't seen in a long time, and probably had nothing to do with her self-perceived importance. Naturally they made a big deal about her fame; India worships the cult of celebrity, just like most other countries.
her perspective on why she deserved to succeed was what sabotaged her own chance to succeed.
Shane Gillis was cancelled but his talent allowed him to find an audience.
Comedy is a meritocracy. Make people laugh and they'll support you.
Being a WOC isn't enough to make the dead format of late night TV interesting.
It's like being the most diverse horse rider when the automobile was introduced.
Great analogy. Well said.
Very good video
100% of the words that come out of her mouth is how she's had to overcome so many things as if she's the only who has or even could do it. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone weaponized being behind the proverbial (and mythical) 8 ball more than her.
Lily Singh was given opportunities that others weren’t given but she didn’t how to utilize it to the best of her ability. She didn’t grow the audience. She just became woke.
She DID utilise it to the BEST of her ability...that's why it turned out the way it did
Became? That was her whole schtick. That and being "a bisexual woman of colour".
@@leewright1 Yeah that’s true. You make a good point.
She cared more about her agenda than entertaining people.
@@leewright1nah that happened in 2016.
Before 2016 she was actually hilarious and just a youtuber without the extra woke bs.
The woke signs actually started in 2016 where she also got more involved with celebs aka hollywood, hollywood all preaching the woke bs in their meetings where Lilly I guess was invited into.
So at some point I had to warn Lilly in 2016 on her Twitter not to go the woke road after she posted a tweet " The force is female", yes the first heavy signs of her going the hardcore woke rounds, smh, and after our back and forward on Twitter where she really thought going the route of woke and saying things like "the force is female" (her trying to get woke messages across to the rest of the world lol) would work, smh, I immidiately told her the world doesn't work like that and I said to her goodluck, where her ego responded back to me on Twitter with, and I remember this well: "...I don't need good luck, I am successfull, I will have it my way like I always have".
Welp.
Fast forward to 2023.
Her youtube views has dried up, it's a wrap, her twitter engagement is dried up, it's a wrap and all her other social media has dried up as well, only her tiktok is only active still a bit because the audience see the occasionally bo0bs/cleavage, and every woman gets engagement with bo0bs/cleavage on there so nothing special here.
Bottomline:
It's funny how she truly was that independent woman before the woke stuff and most people liked her and now basically she is mostly hated or the fans she used to have by a boatload grown up and moved on (cause they ain't here for her woke crap either)and now Lilly is no longer independent because she is basically working a job in showbizz as a judge in Canada got talent or last time I checked.
Welp Lilly.
Don't say I didn't warned your @ ss not to go the woke route in 2016 but offcourse you didn't listen so you now made your bed and you get to lay there.
The End.
Imagine your identity becoming your personality 😢
In other words, imagine being on the far-left
@@space_pollutionHonestly I feel like both sides are like that a little. Like the political channels on UA-cam like Ben Shapiro and Hasan. It honestly just feels like they do NOTHING ELSE but yell at the other isle.
@@SahloFolina2161 because the right and left are just two sides of the same Yiddish coin. There is no right and left it's just an illusion. It's Pepsi and Coke it makes no real difference.
Identity DOES dictate your personality but people don’t understand that identity is NOT just your color or ethnicity. That’s such a narrow minded way of looking at it. Identity is SO SO SO much more
Might be a controversial take. But I remember Lily being a 27 yo virgin because she chose so. It was allgined with her values. I think she sold out claiming to be bi and literally dishing on everything she stood for before. She built a new persona according to what she perceived Hollywood to promote. That's the definition of selling your soul. Emptying yourself and forgetting your morality for the sake of worldly success. I get her being frustrated for not being rewarded after giving up SO MUCH. Thing is, there was nothing authentic about her anymore.
I remember a line from her book, that is not about being the best but putting yourself into the right circumstances to succeed. She claims there that perception is more important and value is not inherent but something built. With that mentality I can see why she sold out and why she blames everyone else now instead of herself. She doesn't seem to believe in talent, being genuine and authentic growth or even producing something of quality but chasing a higher high. That seems to be the only goal. Which is very common in views obsessed you tubers.
Her stories are those stories you hear at a family get together just to pass time.
“…if you don’t like it, you can talk about it on your TV show. Oh wait! You don’t have one.” Well Lilly…😌 neither do you sweetheart…neither do you 😁😁😁
Oh how the turns have tabled.
God when she said she was assigned female at birth- I rolled my eyes so hard- I hurt them
And she was an idiot to jump from a burgeoning and thriving landscape of internet and social media to the dead content of late night talk shows
I don't understand how she became this popular to begin with. Plenty of other female UA-camrs that deserve more recognition and have far greater talent.
The stupid humor worked when she was younger and also her audience. It actually felt funny at the time. It was relatable and non political. We grew up but her content didn't. On top of that she became super woke.
Woke destroys everything
Woke as well as a Khalistani sympathiser.
legit my brother@@arjuna03
@@arjuna03what? Really?
She should be grateful for the success she’s enjoyed. Her limited talents have taken her further than they should have.
She can't even see how the deck has actually been stacked in HER favor. A white man would not have been able to land that job.
Lilly such a Bully.. I remember Lilly told in a interview her grandpa is proud of her.. I was shocked That her Grandpa is proud that Lilly Singh being such a bully😅😅😅.. Not All Indian Who are living outside India and Earning well talented.. Few are Talentless and liar still manage to get fame
Pretty privilege. She was NEVER funny.
I just watched Dave Chapelle giving tribute to Jon Stuart in which you will find all the answers to lily failures on how john was given 1:30 am for his standup comedy just to see how good this guy is and even when his late night was announced it took three years to actually materialized, She has no idea how hard people has to work to get successful.
it's that she's telling the same jokes centered around millennial era issues that were only relevant to address in the 2000s-2015. we have progressed and moved on so much since then and so now it's like okay anddddd??? like "my parents didn't give me the sēx talk (even more of an issue for me because in my South Asian culture you can't even talk about it)" is literally like we're just so past that and parenting is evolving and becoming more conscious with my generation becoming parents now and not being like our parents. like i'm a millennial and i watched her when i was in high school when she had just gotten popular, i was like 15-17, AND i'm a South Asian woman of color (lol) like her too. so when people in my community found her, especially brown girls, we were so excited to find relatable content, hearing someone speaking about it. to find representation and she was like the only woman doing it along with some other brown guys. it was a HUGE deal to us back then because society wasn't the way it is today. and social media was new, youtube was only like 7 years old and things weren't as advanced or vast as they are now. so the experiences and consequent comedy of millennials peaked is really what it is. but the "brown parents/brown girls" videos will ALWAYS be relatable and iconic.
and i think lilly is someone who can stay relevant, she's social, she's in touch, it's just that it seems she is not adapting and it's not enough to just get on board with new lingo. it's just weird. and at some point, you have to accept that while you're still young, you're no longer a part of the youth, which hit me last year when i was 27. she's trying to cater to both the youth and my generation, but we've moved forward and evolved and the youth is on such another level of advanced that what we found relatable and major is literally nothing to them lol.
too bad because i was rooting for her too and expected better from her, i was proud that she was making it as a woman of color because that's always a win for our community and she did make history. yeah, i love that she's proud of herself with all she's been representing and achieving with what comprises her identity, it makes it even better. sure maybe others were writing her jokes, but she could have been like this is sh!t and refused to say them. but honestly, it sounded like her humor and her personal words. and i also always found her to be very toxic when it comes to how much she always pushed the whole "alpha female hustle" culture that unenlightened millennials got on board with and accepted. like no, being an empowered, independent woman doesn't mean that you have to push the "compete with/match men in a man's capitalist patriarchal world." a true feminist is a decolonial intersectional feminist who isn't still stuck in the "we wanna work too" times. dismantling the oppressive colonial, capitalist, patriarchal system is the goal. i sure am not here to be like men or a masculine, i should be able to navigate life in my feminine element and not have to abandon and demonize it to exhaust my masculine energy because it's demanded of me for the capitalist machine. lilly was like look at me im such a tomboy and can be sooo masculine too like a masc lesbian. bro wake up lilly tf, you're so intelligent. and s3xual jokes are just distasteful to most people, including to myself. not even funny, just cringe.
she also has supported and gassed up very problematic celebs and still continues to do so.
2:35 "I was wrong, words I have never heard a man say before" I wonder why people find her insufferable.
She wasn't cancelled; she was deemed irrelevant.
By cancelled they mean her show was cancelled, discontinued.
Good lord.
@@tylerkochman1007 I take it English comprehension is not your forte my man.
@@starb0146🤣🤣🤣😂😂
intersectionality does'nt work. It's divisive by nature and creates cognitive dissonance in everyone. "they gave me the job because I'm discriminated", "let me kick those white men who gave me that seat at the table that they built" , " you don't want to see me on TV so watch me on TV, now laugh".
Being an Indian who saw the content appeal diminish by the day and actually feeling weird about how she thought she had accomplished everything that a brown woman EVER can! She needs to hand out more with Priyanka Chopra for.. she has done so much and achieved so much!! Calls out mainstream system also but is still humble and well spoken! Wish our old one love superwoman comes back! 🎉 Excellent video! Subscribed!
You should start a ganjah peace love and harmony movement❤
She is extremely arrogant. The idea of merit is beyond her understanding. She deserves all the failure she gets.
She was all the rage when I was in college and when YT really kicked off in India. Indian classrooms had Educomp screens and projectors for the first time. 3G and 4G internet on mobile devices became dirt cheap. Everyone found UA-cam.
I liked how positive she was. Sharing Indian music and food and little cultural tidbits with westerners, without being mean-spirited. Most of all, she was humble.
Then when she "MADE IT" on American TV, its like she forgot where she came from, began talking like white people, being mean spirited, hateful and boastful and proud about shit that didn't matter. All the things she claimed white people are, and all the things Indians are not. She did not represent anyone anymore. Certainly not me or my friends.
I can’t stand self centered, narcissistic, so called victims. She got what she deserved! I bet she still hasn’t learned . . .
