Lilly Singh arrives at WE Day California at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. on April 19.

Email Bio Follow April 12 Late-night has long used YouTube as a hosting platform and a place to fish for inspiration. Now, a major network is hiring a platform-native to run one of their shows.

Samantha Bee and Busy Philipps both host shows on cable television. “There’s an increasing interpenetration between mainstream media and Internet media,” Glatt said. “Mainstream executives, I guess, have finally caught on to the fact that YouTube stars get more views than they do.”
“She is not a risk in this time slot,” McNutt said. “She represents someone who has already proven her ability to do what they’re going to ask of her."
