I'm really enjoying these longer format videos (ie. MrBeast, Ryan Trahan, etc). I think in the future it'd be really cool for you guys to get Ludwig onto the show! He'd be a really interesting interview
For sure agree there.. my suggestion would be Joseph Carlson (favorite finance RU-vidr) I think his monetization strategy is super interesting as well as consistently great growth and content
I won't lie, I had a slightly negative opinion of Lilly Singh after seeing Drew Gooden's video about her talk show. It seemed she was quick to denounce any criticism of her show as 'hate comments' even when a lot of it was constructive and legitimate. However, this interview left me a lot more empathetic towards her. I can relate a lot to what she's saying, even though we come from very different backgrounds. It's awful being burnt out and stressed from a job that's ultimately making you feel unhappy. Late night sounds tough, and I think Lilly's at her best in these looser formats where she's more comfortable and can just be her naturally funny self. She doesn't need a big audience and scripted monologues, and part of what makes RU-vid great is it gives us that intimacy with the creators. I'd love to see more diverse late night hosts, and I'm incredibly happy to hear what Lilly's doing with her production company. I think relatability and success will come from, as Lilly said, 'meeting in the middle'. Beautiful interview and thanks Colin and Samir for expanding perspectives as usual, and giving us a closer look at creators.
What you just watched is little more than a staged damage control "interview" designed solely to rebuild the horrid public image she herself created. Damn, and you fell for it hook, line and sinker.
@@priyaramesh7196 Okay, let's put this into perspective. Let's say I have a late night show and night after night after night my opening monologue mocks and insults Indian women to no end. Let's see whether you get "salty" after a while. Oh, and make sure you don't twist everything I do, as it would seem a bit weird.
this is just one of the greatest channels ever, flipping hell! I used to go through hundreds of videos, articles and blog posts just to get information like this.
her explanation of why the late night show was what it was and received that high level of backlash makes so much sense to me.Her not knowing anything about Late night TV, the crew figuring out how to be innovative and the new level of pressure with little time taken on personal growth is a concoction and a half. It just brought it all together and makes me realize how important it is to value quality over quantity.
Her late night show was "Labor intensive"?....this woman hasn't broke a sweat in her entire life. Newsflash - "bashing white men" is not a "different point of view" nor "a different perspective." It is simply sexist and racist, point blank.
This was a phenomenal interview with a RU-vidr that I watched a LOT back in the day. This made me respect her hustle all over again, thanks for drawing out such interesting points from her life
I love Colin and Samir so much. The way they are able to keep evolving, creating, moving forward is incredible and for some one trying to figure out what it is they want to do with in this industry, it’s so helpful to have them here to guide us through the creator economy and the way media influences culture.
Issa Ray should be a person on the radar for your interviews. Should took a RU-vid show and turned it into a five season show on HBO where she is the lead role.
This was chock-full of value and nuggets of wisdom. Such a pleasure to hear from an OG youtuber. The closing statement was a powerful reminder that external validation shouldn't be valued too deeply.
This was my favourite interview you have done to date. Really thoughtful questions and the longer format was great. It reminded me of Off Camera (in a good way!). Keep the quality videos coming!

I love love love this video. I’ve grown up watching Lilly but over the last few years I’ve gotten out of touch with what she’s been doing, her ideas, and who she is. Been wanting a long format video of her talking for a while, especially in light of her NBC show. You guys did such a good job interviewing her and helping us understand her in a more complex and holistic way.
This is little more than a staged damage control "interview" designed to hopefully salvage the horrid image she herself created during her late night show debacle. Sad to see you fell for it hook, line and sinker.
20 minutes in and I've never known her outside of her talk show really, but it didn't do her justice. She has a great personality and is very grounded. It's hard not to like her.
The problem with network television is that they have to answer to affiliates and they're the ones who have the power to make and break a show. Kudos to Lilly for breaking the barriers and I know she'll do more.

Didn't really expect to find this relatable, but Lilly proves to be able to do that. Nothing I do is on the scale that Lilly's was/is, but I think many of us can relate to not being able to slow down to rethink "Why am I doing this?" when we get all caught up with numbers. I think it's also so interesting people (often minorities in my experience) will end up being influenced by their broader identity instead of their self goals. Community becomes so much more prioritized. Might sound silly, but I often felt like I had to tip generously in the US because I was Asian, and I didn't want to perpetuate a stereotype that Asians are stingy with tips. It's interesting to hear that Lilly thought about what it meant for her community to do the late night show rather than saying yes because it was her own dream. Great video, guys!
Lilly didn't get the credit she deserved for her attempt at late night and that has bothered me. From the outside looking in, the South Asian community on RU-vid were extremely critical of her and almost felt as if they were throwing her under the bus. She deserved better. Outside of her fanbase, no one cared to defend her while still offering criticism.
@@trailersfromhell2539 Defending her comedy and defending her as a person are not the same thing. If said community wants more representation in American media, it is wise not to tear down a person trying to pave the lane. Constructively criticize her comedy, yes. But the online flogging she has received from those within her own community has been nothing short of mean-spirited.
One of the most racist, white male bashing, sexist, unfunny shows in the history of television does not deserve ANY credit. Just an absolute horrid show. She deserved all the backlash she herself brought upon herself. This interview is little more than damage control to rebuild her image.
Other than her early RU-vid channel, she has accomplished little. If she is an "inspiration" to you, then you have set the bar quite low in this regard. Word to the wise, celebrity worship will only lead to disappointment in the end. Consider yourself forewarned.
@@aananbiswas2713 Yawn, aw, c'mon! "bro who hurt u" is the best insult you can come up with!? Damn, proof positive the woke lack imagination, wit and a sense of humor. No wonder you love your grrrllll Lilly here, you are two peas in a pod. Damn, who hurt u, sis? A yuk, a yuk, I'm sooooo funny!
@@madhurisajith Don't thank me, just do it...."lol" will not make this reality magically disappear. If you want to lick Lilly's boots thinking she might acknowledge your existence, then you have some things to work out with your life as a whole.
watching this has made me take a good look at myself and some of my behaviours in regards to not just Lilly but other creators of colour, sexualities, etc. It’s given me a bigger perspective for things like this and it’s good lesson I can take moving forward in future
You guys have done it again. This was full of so much valuable information. Great to see how far she has come. I also loved her honest answers about her journey and her experiences. Thanks once again for this
Wow I just watched this whole video, Idk what made me click on this but the inspiration was phenomenal. At the point 13:38 she said “my parents aren’t going to be here forever” I lost both of my parents by the age of twelve and eveything I do is for them but it molded me to do everything for ME AND MY HAPPINESS. I wish you all prosperity, the world needs REAL conversations like this! Much respect! I needed this and LILLY YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL! WE WILL BREAK GENERATIONAL CURSES AND GIVE THE CHILDREN BEFORE US THE BLUE PRINT AND OPPERTUNITIES! 💙‼️

Shout out to Lilly, she really transcended this platform, and this industry. I also randomly met her in the creator editing bay at YT Space LA, it was not a memorable moment lol 😂
6:40 - 7:15 yesss. so much yess. youtubers are a rare breed indeed. lots of hats to juggle. love these long form pod interviews colin & samir. my go to every week.
Damage control staged "interview" designed to repair her current horrid public image following her sexist and racist late night show. Damn, and you fell for it hook, line and sinker. Kinda sad really.
Her late night show exposed her for the sexist and racist she is. All the criticism she has received she brought upon herself. She did not "smash boundaries", rather she built walls even higher between men and women, POC and everyone else. Kinda sad really.
I have never sat through a video this long and been so excited throughout! Like I love lilly and have been watching her videos since i was like 12, and as a brown bi girl myself, so much of what was said resonated with me and i just loved every moment!
I love this longer format, interview videos you guys have been putting up. It's been really fascinating to hear the in depth background stories of some of the biggest RU-vidrs. It would be really interesting to hear an interview from Ali Abdaal one day. He's been able to pivot his content fairly seamlessly throughout the years while he was a part-time doctor before transitioning to full-time youtuber. But love your channel!
I had a negative impression of Lilly Singh before watching this bc I had mostly just seen videos shitting on her late night show. But this interview gave me a lot more understanding and respect for her.
Most people dont think that shes a bad or stupid person...but the criticism of her late night show ad other classic comedy attempts is still pretty valid. I really appreciated her content for a long time but when she dived to much into the obnoxious corners of woke garbage, she lost alot of people and I totally understand that.
This is little more than a damage control interview in a tepid attempt by Lilly to rebuild her image following her horrid late night show, which will go down as one of the most unfunny shows in the history of television, as well as one riddled with racist and sexist taunts she tried to sell off as "jokes."
Lilly will forever be Lilly no one can’t compare or be her, so no matter where she goes we will always see her for who she is and was and support no matter where she goes and that goes for anyone and anybody. Keep it going and never stop doing and being honest with yourself.
One of the biggest questions I want her to answer is. Is she going to try out for SNL? That is definitely something she will thrive in and probably enjoy a lot!
I met Lilly in 2017 at one of her meet and greets in Vancouver. She was friendly and nice to everyone. So proud to see where she is and you can see that she is humble and down to earth. Definitely an inspiration and I love how she stays true to herself. Love you Lilly!!!
amazing episode, didnt see this coming, grew up watching lily and this was so interesting to watch. and i would love to see u guys with your own late night show one day
Honestly, I’m not even sure how I stumbled upon this video, but as an Indian girl who was born in America, it was nice to be able to relate to a lot of these conversations. Very rarely do I get to hear people tell stories so similar to my own, and be able to laugh at these little things that only Indian kids can relate to. Thank you Samir for asking some of these questions that only Indian kids can relate to, and thank you Lilly for being so honest and relatable.
really enjoyed how you all encourage the guest to open up and be honest and open the floor to genuine discussion. grew up with lilly and will continue to do so :)
She should have been encouraged to address all the racist and sexist comments she made towards white men, all of which she attempted to pass off as "jokes."
A racist and a sexist.....just RU-vid her monologues during her short stint as a late night host....plenty of anti male, anti white hate spewed. If that is "so aspiring", well, you have set a low bar in this regard.
Another great video guys! I've honestly never watched any of Lilys videos but she seems so down to earth and funny, will go over now and check her out 🙂
Lily, I'm a brown kid from India and please take the next line as more of an advice. The dislike or shade you get is not a result of your South Asian roots. It's because you're obsessed with your own race and gender, and that's not comedy. I'm no authority on humour or late night shows but please understand that your skits on parents or desi kids does more disservice to a race and only contributes into typecasting a race. Also constructive criticism should be listened and not all of us out here are not waiting for Lilly Singh to fail. Wish you the best.
I really respect Collins ability to not speak much on of this episode. I feel like that would be so hard but he knew to let the conversation continue and step in only when he could add something valuable
Wow this was actually so unexpected and in depth I'm so glad I found this video. When Lily was talking about how she said she could move with fear or with love, but about how that is a privilege in itself literally brought me to tears, I had to pause the vid right there to come and comment this. Thank you for doing this interview, its so important❤
that lat question 1:03:33 was very relatable to me, I fooked up with my channel, I had my 5 seconds of "youtube going viral" but as Lilly said it wasn't something I was really passionate about - or maybe I was but, fooked up BIG time and now I barely get 500 views and 1-2 comments lol #failure
30:09 - the analytics game... regardless of the platform, IG, Tik-Tok, RU-vid, once you're hooked, it plays with your mind and your mental health and no matter how old you are, it can be just as deadly....
Sheesh what a great episode. I wonder to what degree does Samirs wife contribute to the shaping of these questions/interviews. Keep up the good work g's.
LOL I fr thought I was going crazy. Couldve sworn I saw this for a couple seconds an hour ago. Went to make some lunch, came back to watch it and it was gone.
👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏾 My husband @SanjayC and I just finished watching this interview! We both loved it and found it to be positively inspiring and insightful as creators! I’ve been waiting for this one and it was amazing! I personally have always loved @LILLY for all who she is and grows and aspires to be even through her goals. Incredible and inspiring. We love watching your interviews and this one was so special, because we both could relate on sooo many different levels and layers! I told Sanjay this about a year ago too. That you guys should and will have your own show one day! I see it too Lilly and I see you! Lilly, thank you always for being you and the love you have for people. Happy to see the self love. I feel like I can relate on so many levels. Loved this! Samir and Colin, I dream of the day you will interview Sanjay 😉 and we meet you all! 🎉 Congratulations and hope you get to keep ….”sitting” 😂🤣😂🤣 that was perfect!
as a fan of Lilly for literally YEARS and seeing her go from youtube to NBC to Netflix to so many new things, its AMAZING and heartwarming to see❤️❤️ like i had "what would Lilly do" written in my room because i love her work ethic and the way she hustles through anything letting Nothin stop her❤️ love her 🥰
you two are amazing interviewers and just down to earth in general- ive watched 3 videos and i had to sub. y’all have great content and amazing guests (:
Going back through watching all the interviews y’all have done, this ad integration was great and I actually wanted to watch it. Great cinematic shot and style to keep my attention and listen to what you had to say
The coming out segment felt very meaningful especially the struggle between coming out to your family vs the public even if u aren’t a public figure I still felt that
