@@OfficerBMToh nah
you flopped@@OfficerBMT
@bot
@@OfficerBMTyou didn't have to
@@OfficerBMTlmao you're not intimidating anyone
I'm a brown girlie myself who grew up watching Lilly, but I stopped watching her in recent years (before the late night show was even released). It feels like this is the first time in a hot minute where I've seen her so genuine. I personally can't digest her content as easily anymore, but I can still respect her as a person for admitting the flaws and addressing her failures.
You said it perfectly, I agree completely with you as another brown person. Like, word for word, these were my exact thoughts but I couldn't find the right words for it lol thank you
I feel if she started a small company (like coffee company/stationary company or something) and would be a vlogger on top of that, her youtube channel would get so popular again. She is a likeable person.
i used to watch her when she used to live in canada. i watched her videos so much but then stopped when she moved.
Her target audience is young, so its difficult to be a fan of hers as you mature. Nothing bad on that, kids/tweens need content
she is still biased and ignorance, she literally blame her failure to men
Mad respect for her not blaming her show writers, she could've easily thrown them under the bus and we'd all be none the wiser. But she gave them credit for being spread so thin and being under so much pressure and budget that it just was what it was.
She blames white men most of the time.
Her biggest problem is thinking everyone already hated her for her ethnicity and gender and also because she was forced into a role of an elderly straight white man talk show host when she's a millennial bisexual brown woman
@@supernovaskies5044I kinda felt that way about the stuff that was written for her but in this video she explained it better. There was so much pressure because she was the only female POC in late night and people really love to generalize a group based on a representative and when she’s taking that place of a representative that’s a lot of weight on her shoulders so even if no one was saying anything negative, her race and gender still added this extra layer of difficulty.
@@ellabiddy4741I mean I guess but also throwing out one liners about her race gender and sexuality is probably the worst way to handle it. I can give her the first episode and even then I would not constantly mention it but after that I would move on into just generalized content or at least specifically avoiding claiming how different you are.
@@masonguthrie1257but what do you do when that’s 95% of her “comedy”
It takes a lot of humility and strength to publicly admit failure. To fail in such a public way is already embarrassing, but to have the strength to acknowledge it publicly and talk about how the system needs to change is very admirable! I love how Lily is using her bad experience to start a conversation about the TV industry lack of diversity and lack of support for diverse projects. I'm impressed with the strength of character Lily has.
One thing I would like Lily to answer is if she knew that a lot of the stuff that was written for the show was bad and she saw the criticisms that people like. Drew gooden made, was she able to take his criticism for what it was or did she conflate it as one of the haters? Same with Eddie burback. I don't know about the other creators that made videos because honestly I either forgot about them or have never watched it. But those two made pretty good criticisms in good faith
@pewnit she mentioned the final season airing in the pandemic. So the show probably ended before the critisisms were released
@@pewnit i mean yeah i agree she seems to blame the budget, the amount of writers, the commitment, the time, the fact that she had pressure as a woman bi indian bla bla, but she fails to comment on how she constantly bragged on stage and now says that she learned from it. I don't believe her i feel this is a massive cope and that she's only saying this to justify doing the show...
@@callnight1441 yeah but still not changing after saying that her shit sucked... just kept on going... nah dont accept
I like the way she sits on that chair.
I know people shit on her for mentioning her culture a lot, but what she said about being a second daughter in an Indian family is so true, you get treated like you’re worthless
You expressed it better than she would. ❤ I think the issue with Lilly is that wanted to be more social and have multiple“firsts” to the point where the late night comedy came last.
And her ratings proved it
@@jamescurran6277do ratings prove a person’s worth? I don’t know much about lily, but that sentence in itself feels off. Is it a zinger you’re saying because you don’t like her, or an actual belief you hold?
dude, she grew up in Canada, not some small village in India in the 1800s. that whole 2nd daughter thing is almost non-existent in immigrant families that are raised in the west (coming from an American who grew up w/ a VERY similar cultural upbringing as her)
for the record, i thought some of her youtube skits/impersonations were actually decent. but her standup and late night show were absolutely horrendous, and constantly invoking the "barriers" (gender, culture, sexual orientation) repeatedly and claiming victim mentality got pathetic, EXTREMELY fast
@kmir224 and I grew up in the Netherlands as a second daughter in an immigrant indian family, so I was speaking from experience
i think most ppl dont realize that lily never 'lost' the charisma she had back when we were kids, she was just put in a position where she was pretty much set up to fail by a unforgiving industry
Stop trying to shift blame
@@conormurphy4328How is it shifting the blame?
@@ProcyonNite they’re literally shifting the blame onto the industry instead of the person who wanted their name plastered over the project
@@conormurphy4328 Did you not watch the video? She goes over the budget constraints and the challenges someone like her has go to through to get the project running. Of course her name is plastered over it, she's the HOST, and she even said she originally didn't want to be.
@@ProcyonNite Again trying to shift the blame. She didn’t want to be the face but she is and got paid? Hmm strange isn’t it. Guess what, when your name is on a show and you’re the presenter of the show and you chose to be a part of it and it’s shit then take responsibility. Stop trying to make excuses.
Honestly, hearing Lily talk about the process of late night show production, her feelings and lack of knowledge on late night show makes me look at her show in a different light. She has a very strong personality and I commend her for trying out late show! Now that she knows and has a better understanding of late show, I hope she can take similar ventures knowing what she knows now!
Her show failed because it wasn't entertaining or funny. It isn't enough to just be brown bi female.
I don't get one thing though. She says she shot 96 episodes in 3 months. Doesn't that make it like 1 episode a day? Why did they shoot like 3 a day? Shouldn't the shoot have ended in like a month?
@@re_reem Well you need a couple days to build and take down the set. Also its not ideal to be working 90 days straight with no days off!!
@@kayceemosely6586 Ohh that makes sense.
You commend her for taking on a challenge which is very hard for most people and which she had no real knowledge of and failed spectacularly at? Hmm strange
This didn't feel like other interviews, it felt more like mutual therapy, it's so nice and healing to watch both anthony and lilly chat abt youtube and career and topics abt how they grew into the beautiful individuals they are right now.
They were friends back in the days . He used to be in a lot of her comedy sketches
In that case I think you'd similarly enjoy the one with Dan Howell :)
Thank you for inviting Lilly to the channel and letting her tell her story and career growth since youtube! she's intelligent, wellspoken and i really liked her reflections on her past career experiences. super insightful and very inspiring. wishing her nothing but the best for all future projects
Shame she isn’t funny as well
So true!
💯
I mean watching her Ted talk she only seemed to blame the system for her failure.
@masonguthrie1257 right? But it was really the system being so hyper focused on diversity that gave her the chance in the first place
This comment section is very positive which is weird because usually when her name gets brought up it's to talk about how awful her content is. In the last several years I've never heard any positive things about her. Her name only ever appears next to the words cringe or unfunny. It's good to see positivity for her.
Thank God because I've began to feel bad for her.
She is cringy and unfunny
Think it just goes to show how much people love authenticity. Don't watch her content, not my thing but LOVED this interview and she came across very humble yet authentic and really changed my overall view on her
I still feel she's full of herself.
@@pbhushanbsbbecause you know her personally? 😂 stop making baseless assumptions about people.
i don’t why but Lily admitting that her show was bad gave me so much respect for her.
I can't even imagine being in a writers room responsible for 3 episodes a DAY
As an Indian girl, Lilly CARRIED my early teenage years. This video was the first thing I’d seen of her after such a long time and turns out, I still love her so much. There’s just way too much hate and I’m happy she seems to have grown out of it
I loved her videos as a kid, I hope she gets to shine again in projects she has the resources for!
if she does then itll be the same, hating men, hating white ppl, somehow say shes Bi, back to hating white men lol thats literally how her show went
@@xXMc1ovinXxthe show had a poor budget.She said it herself in this video.I’m sure if she was given a better funded and produced project then she could redeem herself as a comedian.But by the way Lily is actually bi and she’s Indian not black.
@@Little_shop_by_the_seahe never said she was black, but a low budget doesn't mean your comedy should be any worse
@@Little_shop_by_the_seashe failed because she has no talent at all
jokes about white folks have an audience, late night has its own audience which is more broad than her target demographic on youtube, on youtube she was extremley popular while making those jokes, but also speaking for immigrant experiences, and other skit topics, that was her target audience. if its not for you then its not for you@@xXMc1ovinXx
I’ve watched half so far and this has really put into perspective what happen with the late night show. I’m not savvy on how television works and this was eye opening for me on how difficult her path has been. Thank you for this. I feel so much better about the whole thing after hearing her story because I was confused. I had such a positive view of her before late night and I didn’t understand what had happened. It just didn’t seem like her.
It’s actually so insane to film 3 episodes a day and have to write in between that somehow so the fact it even aired is impressive. Like how could anyone be expected to produce good work like that? I never knew that and have so much respect for her knowing that now
@@ellabiddy4741I mean late night host before did that as just part of the business so it’s not impossible. Is it difficult at times no doubt but it’s not like they gave her an impossible task and then blamed her for failing. It’s show business.
I like this side of Lilly. This Lilly is the one that needs a show. This Lilly was the reason why I subbed to her channel. The person on Late Night felt like someone who was desperate for validation. The person here is wise and is owning up to her mistakes and is growing. Love that.
So good to hear her side of the process in the aftermath of her show. At the time yeah it wasn't the best show but people really used it as a way to just insult and blame her over things she didn't fully have control over.
It seems like its a running thing of having to deal with lots of factors of a big production going wrong but having to suck it up and smile since you're the face of the operation that you have in common with your last Defy years at smosh and Lilly with her show
If your face is on the front of the product then yea you take responsibility for everything. If not don’t put your name on it simple 🤷♂️
She was the face of the show so someone had to take blame until we got information about the reason why the show was bad
@@conormurphy4328i swear i see you in so many comments. don’t blame ALL of her. yes, it has her name on the show, she’s the face but THINK about behind the scenes and OTHER PEOPLE who played a part.
Girllllll as an Indian woman, I totally relate to that rebellion and the innate desire to break the mould. As a fellow creative (I’m a metal musician), I’m so darn proud of everything you have achieved ❤
@@mikelong372 Sounds like you are being sarcastic but I'm going to give you a sincere answer anyway. I'm an Indian-born Australian citizen. The rebellion I mentioned in my comment above is the constant drive to prove people wrong about what they think I can't do - which Lilly covers in this video extremely well. By doing so, I have achieved a lot of things I dreamed of as a young girl, and still have a LOT more to do. Moving to a different country on my own as a teenager to pursue my dreams and ambitions is one of them.
@@mikelong372
Did you watch the video?
How does this dude only have 7 million subscribers?? His videos are amazing and super mind opening.
"Only"
he is more well known on smosh
@@8wdude8 however oddly I think a lot of the commenters over the years on his videos who subscribed here, would ask at times what smosh was. So.. having a large number of subscribers who never knew him on smosh is still a win
have you heard of smosh? lol
@@Username0467 people are too used to bloated tiktok numbers
It makes so much sense why the late night show was the way it was. I'm so sorry Lilly for doubting you. Honey, you tried your best with what you had but the corporations made the regulations, and you were left in the dust.
I wanna spend a day with Anthony he seems so kind.
I'm really proud of her progress , she's grown into such a self aware , honest and lovely woman fr and I'm glad we finally got her perspective on the late night show . I can't even imagine how stressful and painful it must've been to create something of that sort, then get so much hate on that and her youtube channel as a result aswell. I'm glad she has a healthier work life balance now though :3 , and yeah getting an elderly relative of admit they are wrong WOW that is one heck of an achievement , I'm really proud of her
this is such an interesting conversation considering Anthony's experience with badly written and received movies. Large production is really exciting but writers that pander to trends really fail the talent.
i’m only 5 minutes in, and already i have so much respect for lilly. being able to so humbly reflect on your experiences and take them in stride requires brutal honesty with yourself. big ups to you lilly, i’m glad to see you’re doing well.
I've always really agreed with what Brittany Broski said about Lilly and her show, which is that it was set up to fail, and it's interesting to see Lilly acknowledge that. The late night scene was just not made for people like Lilly, which sucks, but at the same time, those types of shows are dying. The era of late night is pretty much over; the most views they get are here on CZcams with shorter clips. If the genre wants to survive, they have to adapt.
I admire how she is able to admit she falied but that it led her to learning a lot of new things. It is not very common to see that online you usually only see succes stories or people pretending failure never ocurred.
As a brown woman myself, I always thought she represented me in some way. Whether you hate her or love her, you have to agree on the impact she has created. To this day, this woman works hard just to satisfy herself and I relate so much to that. No matter how many "failures" she goes through, I will never not appreciate this women. Thank you, Lilly.
her story is so interesting and it is really awesome to be so open about naivety and failure. really common human experiences that no one likes to talk about, but is so helpful and touching when it is
This is the most honest interview I've seen in a while, I'll admit I wasn't a huge fan of the late night show but I just chalked it up to not knowing Lilly that much like most other late night hosts, all in all NBC really gave her and the people behind the scenes the short end of the stick when it came to making a first impression on TV and I hope everyone involved is doing better now.
I was such a huge fan of Lilly growing up, but I grew out of the youtube skits and never really got into late night so I stopped watching her content. I actually loved her vlogs during the How to be a Bawse book tour. She has such a bright and uplifting personality, her jokes were genuinely funny and resonated with me as a bi brown girl and I cannot wait to see what she does next. She is a good creator before anything else and I'm proud of her.
Damn it's been years since I've seen her. Glad she's doing well
Listening to Lilly discuss her failures as well as her growth and life with such confidence… it’s… just wow. Really great to hear as a woman who grew up watching her. I’ve always struggled with self esteem, and listening to her talk through and both own her shit AND realize she wasn’t set up for success at the same time, it just makes me reflect on my own life and feel better about my experiences and where I’m at now. I needed that
It’s like listening healed people talking about their journey and healing processes, truly inspirational, hope I’ll too get to that point
Lilly's humor and videos have never really been my style, but seeing how she is able to turn a negative experience most people would let destroy them into a learning experience and something she can look back on and see the positives is so respectable and insane. She seems like an amazing person and is super motivational
I'm so happy to see what seems like a fairly genuine conversation from her side of things.
I vividly remember the moment I discovered her videos when I was 12 and I was OBSESSED with her. I remember thinking I was so cool because I had subscribed to her before she had even reached 100k subscribers lol. she was one of my top 10 favourite creators for quite a while, but as I got older, I kind of outgrew the target audience. I'm 24 now, and since I stopped watching her stuff a few years ago I have always silently cheered her on. I was bummed to see that her show hadn't been going well and that it didn't seem to be well recieved, because I did think she had the potential to make a decent show.
it's nice to hear her perspective about what that process was like, and I can't even imagine how hard it was for her to go through not only all the show stuff during covid, but all the backlash and hatred she got afterwards. I really do wish her the best and I think she has a really important voice and story to share.
This interview is honestly the best piece of content I have seen in a long time. I really love everything that you and Lilly discussed in this video as a brown person myself and it makes me feel so inspired to do things
I think for a lot of people gender equality is something they hear about from someone else, but for others it's about their lives and trauma.
And when you're so determined that you can "prove" something, people's expectations will be really high.
The reality is that sometimes you can work 15 hours a day and do your best and still not get what you wanted, but it's healthier to think about it as a learning experience because something did come off it. A failure for me is if you are the same as when you started.
Always loved Lily and grew up watching her. So happy to see her talk about the entire process so positively, regardless of the amount of backlash she faced. Wishing her the best for all her upcoming and future projects x
Great to hear all this in Lilly's words. For a long time everyone's been shitting on her and her failed show, including me which I now regret, but people fail all the time. Hell, she probably did a better job than I could.
Lilly has always been so well spoken. The knowledge that she has and still continues to share throughout the years is so amazing. The candidness and not being afraid to be vulnerable is what I love so much about her
Love this so much! I’ve followed Lilly for more than a decade and to this day i still GREATLY and DEEPLY love/respect her and all that she is and has done. She is truly such a beautiful person! Thank you Anthony for having Lilly on the show/channel 🥰
Honestly I can see Lilly doing a CZcams video podcast where she brings in her guests like she did with her talk show. But it will be more chill and in control and she can keep showing the world her charm ans charisma
I loved this entire interview. I love seeing both of you so open and so honest to yourself and each other about the difficulties you're facing, the things that've happened and the realities you live in. I teared up when I heard what Lilly had to say about her family because damn that familial pressure really hits different if you're in that type of culture. I hope we all strive to be like both of you, confident, driven, and balanced.
i’m so proud of lilly for just being who she is. such a sweetheart, so incredibly hardworking, and thinking about others on days when it is mostly about her. she has been such a huge role model for millions and this interview just proves why. she’s self aware, she’s humble, she is so authentic…. i don’t ever wonder why so many brown girls and people in general have so much respect for this absolute gem of a human. it’s plain to see. i love you so much Lil 🦄🤍
21:39 something about seeing lily’s jawline brings me so much comfort. I’m culturally from a very similar location and seeing a face that is shaped so closely to mine just makes me feel less odd. Less alienated by my peers and the lack of representation that I see. I always feel like I’m not enough because I’m mixed, and the people from similar locations I compare myself to look so different. So it’s really comforting seeing a similar eye shape and eyebrow shape and jawline and yeah that’s it
she's so smart, so self-aware, so eager to keep growing, she is just so admirable
Been watching her ever since i was young she was truly an inspiration and big representation for all us south asians soo proud of her journey
@Get a job.
@or get a hobby
I may not like her content, but at the very least I can respect what she has achieved and the self awareness she has, especially about the late night show
I always liked lily and I genuinely feel that she has incredible talent, I hope she really finds something that shows her talent to the world again.
PLEASE can you spend a day with *young widows*.
Demystify grief, how to help someone in bereavement, what to say and not to say, secondary losses, all those subjects are not known. Especially secondary losses.. the list is long and heartbreakingly true.
A lot of grief counselor are widows like Elizabeth Kupferman and Megan Devine.
She literally did the most I’m so glade you welcomed her on your show. She is literally such an inspiration
Maybe if we all really try we can also make a shitty show
@@conormurphy4328anime pfp
@@conormurphy4328 And suddenly start blaming our ethnicity and gender after those two things gave us the success we've gotten
OMG She literally loitered and littered laterally!!!! Shsgwcwhasnb
...Sorry. My brain short-circuits whenever someone uses 'literally' too much.
Seeing all these youtubers from my childhood come out and be honest about their journey has been really helpful as I transition to similar problems in life. I mean, I'm not in the 'creator' life at all as a career scientist, but in many ways the struggle of being placed where you are unprepared and making the best of it...that is something I've encountered time after time. I havent seen anything from Singh in years but she seems incredibly genuine and smart in this interview. I hope to hear more about what she does.
She used to be my role model for a long time and I had forgotten why I loved her so much when I was younger since her recent content didn't appeal to me but this interview warmed my heart and reminded me why in the first place I started looking up to her as a teen
I love your interviews SO much. You're a great interviewer and Lily is amazing to. Between this and Smosh's new era, you're shining in your career.
you should spend a day with suicide hotline workers.
He can't unless he blurred their faces and disguised their voices. Suicide Hotline Operators must remain anonymous to protect themselves and their families.
I would love to participate in something like this, I’ve been a volunteer suicide crisis counselor for almost 4 years now, the same line I used myself before I started 💕🫶
If Anthony ever does this I’d greatly like to participate 💕
Same
Yessss I love hearing her talk about her experiences. The brutal honesty is everything
Blown away by Lillys intelligence and maturity approaching this. in many ways we missed her while she was on late night - for us international friends there was nowhere to watch her show and i only heard of the reviews online. her experience on late night sounds like it was hell but shes learnt so much about what she can do with her platform. good to see her back on youtube
This was exactly what I needed. So relatable on so many levels. Thank you both!
I’m so glad this show exists as a platform for people like Lilly to talk about their careers in a kind, nonjudgmental context. She’s a wildly talented person who’s so thoughtful about what she puts into the world.
I hate to see someone so brilliant stymied by a lack of resources, but I’m so glad she’s still working. We love you, Lilly!!
This was such a lovely conversation. She seems so happy and her company sounds like it's doing so well. I also was stressed when she had her shoes on the couch.
Lily is absolutely right, every project that attempts something new can inspire greatness. Most people only talk about the successful projects that inspire them, but just as important are the projects that failed and taught you something. Anyone who considers starting a new show like Late Night can learn a lot from what happened with Lily. They can ask questions, they can do research, they can say no if it feels too similar to what went wrong with Lily.
Hope to see more Lily soon!
LILLLYYYYYY!!!! I love seeing 2 OG youtubers in one frame 💜💜💜💜💜
You always hear how failure is a part of the path of successful historic people. Knowing that failure is inevitable, i hope my failures are as graceful as hers was. The way she thinks about it and speaks about failure convinces me there is so much more big success ahead from her.
I learned so much from this. This made me love her even more. Well done. New subscriber
Okay this interview was astonishing. Absolutely loved to hear Lily talk about things so candidly. I had such a "meh" opinion of her, but i actually *really* liked her perspective on a lot of things, she's incredibly mature & insightful, wow
I always suspected that there was more to the story of how her late night show failed, it's super cool that you gave her the opportunity to talk about it in an honest way without the pressure of media cooperations.
Thank you for doing this. I grew up with her CZcams channel , and it was saddening to see her “downfall” because I always thought she was one of the very few CZcamsrs who were authentically themselves. Thank you.
Used to watch Lilly a lot, haven’t watched much of her content in the last 7 years but I’m very proud of her for growing, learning, healing and talking about it. I remember her being legit one of the first big female poc on yt and I could relate to her videos about family and culture. Feels very nostalgic hearing her speak.
We needed to hear this, I know I did!
I LOVED lilly, I am glad she is doing better now and now she knows what to do and how to do it better
As someone with similar culture to Lilly , getting that approval and apology is what drives me.
I know it might be toxic, but this will change someone's mind.
Listen,these men are allowed to fail so loud and hard and without the humility over and over and over again.
The fact that Lily did it - as in all that she has done, she is for sure successful and still killing it!
The way, I've related to Lily so much thru the years as a viewer and almost having this wrap around programing/training moment to confirm all the growth that's happened including the acknowledgement of self vindication.
Just wow, saved, starred, and will be using this a lot
Love seeing two of my fav OG CZcamsrs together! The amount of growth both have gone through is truly inspiring ❤
It is so nice to see her much more mature and out of that toxic grinding space, she seems so wise
This is a conversation between 2 incredible human beings. Both have been through downsides in life (in the public eye mind you) and have come on the other side so strong and wise. It's inspirational 🥹
Wow I never watched much of Lily's content but I think she is so inspirational, I love the way she talks about these subjects.
Thank you guys for mentioning mental health and "failure", and the process of being while becoming really resonated with me.
her outfit is actuaIIy fire
So happy she came out the other side of her past endeavors with knowledge and is doing better things moving forward. I always respected her despite late night.
Imagine someone telling you how life is like in an ethnic culture. A culture you know very little about or only have second hand experience dealing with, and you believe you’re so smart and so universal that you discredit them almost immediately… That’s what a lot of comments are looking like here
Are they wrong though?
i watched lilly when she was just doing youtube, like the old videos before the fancy intro with the rainbow on. She was a role model for me honestly. Then i just grew up and just stopped watching her, way beforeeee the late night thing. But heard about the drama of course. but didnt even watched it, because no matter what, Lilly was a role model for me because of the person she showed in her videos and still clearly shows in this interview to be: honest, self aware, funny, kind, love spreading unicorn, so wise, spiritual, phylosophical, and just real.
So happy to see her in a good place mentally and taking care of herself.
Lilly I'm not a fan but I really appreciate how you always raise voice for important topics and do good deeds. You don't deserve hate just because your content doesn't appeal to everyone 💗
Listening to Lily describe how the show was made really puts my feelings and thoughts about the show into context. I didn't stay up late enough to watch, but I did catch stuff on CZcams after. I remember thinking the tone didn't feel right and it wasn't as fun as her CZcams presence had been. The behind the scenes look makes everything make so much more sense. I'm so glad she's settled that part of her career and has learned a lot from it. I can't wait to see what she does next. 😊
Honestly, I totally understand the greed for more in context of gender equality. As a girl, I always feel the need to compete with men… whether it be in projects, humor or simply fashion (it’s not healthy lol)
Thank you for bringing Lilly on your channel! I was one of the people who saw her late night show and was disappointed, thought she "fell off", etc. but i chose to keep supporting her because she meant so much to me when I was growing up, I was(still am) so proud that there was an indian person (an indian girl that too!) that was a famous youtuber who had as much influence as she does.
I believe it takes so much to admit failure in the way Lilly did. She couldve gone about this situation in so many different ways that would protect her ego and just shit on the crew, the show, etc but she didnt.
Keep going Lilly!! Thank you for existing haha
Thank you for this. I think somewhere along the way I didn't know what to think about Lily. This brought her back. Meaningful and honest.
Wanna work with her now! So genuine, passionate, and insightful.
As a woman, hearing her talk about changing her grandfather’s mind, brought me to tears. Our cultures are very different, but being a woman in any culture is a struggle. Lilly is so badass and inspiring.
Any culture? Go visit the Middle East, India, China, and Africa and come back and tell me it’s hard to be a woman in the western world.
@@BANANASAUCEYUMAlthough you might be correct in some regard, you’re nevertheless generalizing the non western parts of the world into being this poverty stricken bad place. You make it sound like they’re these corrupt places but again that’s a generalization. Some places like the Middle East and North Korea may be inflicted with war or tyranny, but not all parts of the rest of the world is like that.
I’m from China, and I’ve lived there before. It may also depend on circumstance, but my family grew up poor, yet when staying in China for some time, my quality of life felt the same.

I understand what you’re saying, for sure. In fact, I was acknowledging that in my original comment. Women in other cultures outside of the western world, def experience another level of oppression, sexism, and prejudices. So, Lily, coming from a culture where women aren’t seen as equal in any sense, for her to still bust through those barriers, is so inspiring- not just for women in her culture, but women in all cultures bc we all face some type of oppression; different levels of oppression, but all some kind of oppression.
@@amycooks_food Yes, China is getting richer and is able to provide a better and better life for its citizens, but the human rights record is awful compared to any western country in 2023. Countries like China and Russia have sizeable middle classes that can afford things westerners can afford, but that doesn't change the fact that those governments continue to abuse the rights of their citizens.
As a woman from one of the countries you mentioned, it is indeed hard to be a woman EVERYWHERE. Some countries have it harder but that shouldn’t be used to trivialize the type of problems women face in the western world.
Honestly, I'm so happy to see you dear Lilly. I remember watching you as a kid, now I'm 23 and it's been so so long since I've seen your wonderful personality. Thank you for the joy you gave me back when I was stuck, it's sad to see what the internet has become, back then, it was peaceful. Don't worry Superwoman, the real OGs will always stay.
ONE LOVE!!
Ohmygosh, I feel like I was just called OUTTT because her shoes on the couch is what I focused on for the majority of the video 😭 (yes, I did listen to all the other things as well!)
NBC set Lilly up to fail. A Little Late would still be on and successful if they gave her more time to find her footing
I haven’t watched Lily in a while but I was a hardcore iisuperwomanii fan and watching this shows that she did impact my mindset deeply and I love her for that, she has been an influence to so many :)
I really do feel like NBC set Lilly up to fail with the talk show especially with with the whole filming months in advance. I didn't like it too much but hey at least she tried & so did all the writers & crew. And she's still going ahead with life & admitting to fails & doing things she wants & likes.
I want to spend a day with anthony😊

🔥 interview, Anthony! 🫶
6:58 am I tripping or doesn’t 96 episodes over 3 months average to a little over 1 a day? Then why were they shooting 2-3 a day? That would be over 200 episodes over 3 months 🧐 the math ain’t mathing
bestie... not every day of the week lol people have things to do. projects also take days to prepare, edit and get approval
Used to watch Lilly at least 4 or 5 years ago. Have to say it was pretty cool to just see two people have a healthy conversation about figuring themselves out
This was such a beautiful interview it just felt like you were just chatting as old friends
I loved Lilly as a kid, I watched her comedy videos on periods so many times. I always looked up to her as a female role model
