The New York Times (March 15) – Lilly Singh, a Canadian of Indian descent who built a career on YouTube as a comedian, is getting her own late-night show on NBC in September. Experts like Rini Bhattacharya Mehta, who teaches Indian and global cinema and media at Illinois, say they hope Singh will be able to use her position to bring on a diverse set of guests and avoid becoming a token pressured to produce a show similar to that of her white male peers.
