- She's a skinny legend, I'll tell you that much!
And that is also just like, way too much bronzer,
or something happening there.
What's on my face there?
- [Producer] I can't see it.
- Oh, you can't see it? Just kidding.
[upbeat music]
- Wow, this is the World Wide Web!
[upbeat music]
- The following presentation was created by WIRED.
We've quantified your digital footprint
so that you can see the impact you've had on the internet.
I'm horrified!
Let's do it.
[upbeat music]
- This is what happens when you Google Lilly Singh.
They're gonna say, "Did you mean L-I-L-Y?"
I'm sure.
All right, let's see it.
Eighteen million,
two hundred!
I love this, I-
There's that many results?
Subtle flex! Okay!
Catch this in my Instagram bio as soon as I get home.
According to Google,
people also searched for these five other people.
Okay, here we go!
Can you guess all five before I reveal them?
Show me Liza Koshy.
Show me Priyanka Chopra.
Honestly, I wouldn't put it past the internet,
people probably also think I look like Hasan Minhaj,
so I would put that there, too.
Would Jimmy Fallon be there,
just because of Late Night vibes?
Carson Daly, because of Late Night vibes?
Those are my five guesses.
[Lilly stammering]
Oh yeah, my sister. My real family.
I forgot completely about your existence!
Wow! Okay, Tina!
She's so beautiful.
There it is!
Liza's adorable, we do not look-
Yousef- Oh, okay!
Drama, tea, fine. Sure, serve.
Gabby! Okay, a YouTuber.
Okay, got it, got it.
Colleen? Interesting!
I like this, I'm happy.
This is a good group of people.
I respect this. I appreciate it.
One section that comes up is, "People also ask."
Can you answer these questions?
Let's do it!
Is Lilly Singh a billionaire?
[Lilly laughs]
If I was a billionaire, okay?
Do you think that I would be wearing this outfit
that I completely rented,
that I'm also going to wear for six other videos today?
No, I'd be wearing diamonds!
Pure diamonds, okay?
I'm not a billionaire!
By no means! Not even close.
Why is Lilly-
Why is Lilly Singh so famous?
Okay, first of all, Mom,
I told you to stop using Google
and searching these things, okay?
It's because I'm funny and talented!
Mostly because of my hair though, let's be real.
I have fabulous hair and that's probably why I'm famous.
Did Lilly Singh dating The Rock?
I did not dating The Rock.
I am only mentoring with The Rock,
friendship-ing with The Rock,
the dating with The Rock has not happened.
I would be lying if I said this question
didn't make me pee a little,
but it is not true, I'm not dating The Rock.
Is Lilly Singh a vegetarian?
Lilly Singh is a vegetarian!
I've been vegetarian for about 12 years,
and a hundred percent of the time people come to me,
and they go, "Is it because you're of the religion?"
And I'm, "No, no, it's not."
I just- It's my personal choice.
Most people in my family do eat meat.
It's my own thing, but I still love cheese.
According to Google,
people also search for these five other shows, movies.
Can I guess all five?
Hm, other shows, movies?
[Lilly clicks]
"Fahrenheit 451."
Maybe "Bad Moms,"
"Liza on Demand,"
"Ice Age: Collision Course,"
and I'm going to say "New Girl,"
'cause people don't know the difference.
Hit me.
Oh, right! My own movie.
Forgot that happened, not going to lie.
"Fahrenheit, 45-"
Aye!
Okay, what else?
Oh, right! I was also in that movie.
Totally forgot that happened.
Oh, right! I was also in that!
Wow! I've done things!
Is my IMDB popping, and I don't even know it?
Yes, I have made cameos in these-
in these movies, minus the one that is about me.
That makes a lot-
You know, the thing is, they're such small cameos,
so do they really count?
Hmm? Questionable.
Like, my mom watched all of these movies,
and then after watching them, she was like,
"I thought you were in it."
And I said, "I- I was."
This is a Google Trends graph of Lilly Singh
searched over time.
Can you explain each labeled point?
Am I getting less famous?
I see a spike, that's kind of cute.
Okay, let's talk about this.
A, 2015, I'm going to say
is when I went on my world tour, "Trip to Unicorn Island?"
Just kidding, it's not that.
It's "People magazine includes Lily Singh
on their annual Ones to Watch list."
For real? That had a spike?
Huh!
I wouldn't have thought that!
This is great for me to know.
I want you guys to know my publicist is on this call,
and this is going to come all back to bite me.
"Did you see the graph? Did you see the list?"
Okay, what's B, show me.
Oh, wait! So what is it?
January, February, March, April, May, June, July-
July,
2016.
I think I released "A Trip to Unicorn Island"
the documentary in 2016, didn't I?
Is that why that's there?
"Won two Teen Choice Awards."
And "How To Be a YouTube Star featuring The Rock uploaded."
Dang!
Wow!
Is this to say that
the things I'm doing in my personal life,
like my projects mean nothing?
Interesting.
C!
January, February, March- March 2019.
2019- It's 2020 right now, carry the one.
Maybe my show, "A Little Late with Lilly Singh,"
was announced?
"NBC announces Lilly will host
a new late night talk show, A Little Late with Lilly Singh!"
Aye!
Okay, which has to mean,
with my deductive reasoning,
that D is when my show premiered.
"Little Late with Lilly Singh" premieres on NBC.
Wow! I would not have guessed any of these things.
The last two, maybe. The first two, though?
Also, can we just talk about how from 2016 to 2019,
I died, apparently, and no one cared about me?
As far as I'm concerned, I tried my best, so-
Google Trends also breaks down interest by subregion.
Can you guess the top three American cities
interested in "Lilly Singh" since 2014?
I'm going to say New York,
Los Angeles,
maybe
Chicago?
I don't even know what this is.
Yonkers? Is that a place?
I'm a Canadian. Is that a place?
[Lilly stammers]
- [Producer] It's in New York.
- It's- Oh! So it's okay, cool, fine.
San Jose, New York, got it!
So I was close!
New York and I have a interest- an interesting relationship.
It's a love, hate relationship.
Anytime my life has been disastrous,
it's happened in New York.
One time I was strolling down the street,
I looked at myself on a billboard, I was on a billboard,
and as a joke, I said to someone, I'm like,
"Oh my God! That girl on that billboard!"
And I kid you not,
the person looked at the billboard and said,
"That girl needs to cut her hair."
Not realizing I was the person!
And the second interaction I had was,
I was walking down the street,
and one of the entertainers came up to me and said,
"Do you want me to perform for you?"
I think he was dressed up as Elvis or something.
I said, "No, we're okay! We're in a rush!"
"We're heading somewhere!"
And he's like, "Oh, do you not like American-"
Or, "North American music?"
And I said, "I am North American."
And I kid you not, he looked at me, he goes,
"No, you're not."
Why am I being attacked here?
Attacked! It was literally what happened!
So, I just had a little bit of a love, hate
relationship
with New York, a little bit.
Per Google Image Search,
here are some other words associated with "Lilly Singh."
Can you explain them?
"Superwoman." Makes sense!
Okay. This, yes.
This was my name on YouTube.
That is no longer my name,
because we're not trying to get sued for a million dollars.
But that makes a lot of sense!
"Symbol!" Interesting!
Are people using this? Are they printing them out?
Ooh! Can I sue people for a million dollars?
So I did not invent- Honesty hour, I did not invent this.
This is actually pretty common in Scarborough.
So, maybe that logo, I created,
but I don't want to take credit for the hand sign.
That is a Scarborough thing.
I love that. I love that that's one of the words!
This is one of the things I pride myself on,
is I really, really like how people tell me
after watching your videos, or your vlogs,
I feel like working harder,
and I really pick up on your work ethic.
That is a great legacy. I really love that it says "hustle."
B-
"Bawse!"
Okay, there it is!
I wrote a book called "How to Be a Bawse,"
and I was wondering-
I was like, "Oh my God!"
"It took a full year to write,
and it's nowhere in the Google search."
But, there it is! Bawse! We love that!
I don't know if I came up with the spelling of bawse,
bawse is a pretty popular slang term,
at least where I'm from, and where I grew up.
People used to say bawse.
I do think that I used it very well in terms of like,
workplace etiquette,
and work ethic,
so I would like to say that that's more my brand,
that I coined.
"Tattoo." Interesting!
I would not have thought that either.
I do have one,
two,
three, four,
five, six tattoos, I think.
It's crazy how easy you forget about those.
First one, you're like- [groans]
Sixth one, you're like, "Put it on my face!"
I got my wrists, I got my hand.
My tattoo on this side, I got live on my late night show.
That might be another reason, as well.
It's a tribute to Toronto.
However, sometimes people make fun of me,
because if you look at it,
it also kind of looks like the footprints of Big Bird.
"Manjeet!"
My dad character!
Okay, are we saying that Manjeet is there,
but Paramjeet is not?
Hmm.
My dad's is not Manjeet in real life,
but my dad character is named Manjeet.
My mom character is named Paramjeet.
I always thought
that people actually liked Paramjeet a little bit better,
because I get way more video requests about her,
and comments about her.
But it's interesting to see that Manjeet is up here!
It's probably cause he's mad sexy, like-
Is that twisted?
When sorting on Getty Images by most popular,
this is one of the top results.
Do you remember when and where this was taken?
Show me.
Really?
Por qua? I'm so shook!
This is the most popular?
Yes! This is from the ACLU event.
I look way flyer in so many other pictures,
I am showing way more cleavage in so many other pictures.
How is this the most popular? I don't understand.
It's the red! You know what?
Red does work on me, I won't lie.
Red does work on me, so I'll take it.
In this time period,
I let
stylists
tell me what to do a lot.
And by that, I mean, I was constantly uncomfortable.
This dress is way too tight!
You can see it! Right there in the picture!
My spanks are indenting my back fat,
so it is creating a crevice in my back.
And I remember vividly not being able to sit,
or eat, or drink.
And I'm like, "That's not the life I want to live!"
That's why I be like this right now.
This is why I'm- Look at me!
I can do jumping jacks right now if I wanted to!
Are you seeing this?
This is the life I want to live!
I like the way I dress now better.
I think I'm more me, I'm more comfortable,
and if I'm going to get all dolled up for events,
I wanna have a good time!
You know? I want to eat! I want to drink!
I want to go- I want to go pee!
Is that too much to ask?
Below are the first three videos that come up
when searching "Lily Singh" on YouTube,
and sorted by most viewed.
Can you guess what they are?
Definitely, my clubbing video with Liza Koshy
is going to be up here.
That's one.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!
My video with Zendaya and Winnie Harlow.
My elevator video.
Will- Should be up there.
Then I'm going to say, based on previous slides,
that my YouTube video with The Rock,
"How To Be A YouTube Star" should be up there.
Those are my three guesses.
Boom!
Boom! Ha!
Zendaya and Winnie Harlow! I knew it!
Okay, that's- Four-
48 million views! Dang!
That video probably bought me a car, straight up.
Really?
I did not see that coming.
Lele Pons! What up?
36 million views, "Greek Gods!"
Wow! That was a long time ago, four years ago, dang.
Okay, what's the last one?
I knew it!
I knew this is a classic-
A classic video about clubbing.
"What Clubbing Is Actually Like," with me and Liza,
which is a much anticipated collab,
so I'm not shocked about that one at all.
If you look also, we look very different, just-
Just a word.
We look very different.
I know we're both brown, and it's confusing,
but I just want to-
We don't look alike!
So put that out there!
Representation matters!
Y'all really did a lot of work for this! Thank you!
Why, my goodness!
We went on eBay
and found some of the least expensive
and most expensive items when searching "Lilly Singh."
Can you guess what they are?
I can truthfully say,
I've never even thought about this being a thing.
And I hope none of this is creepy, like a strand of my hair.
I'm sure there's something for 2.99.
2 dollars and 99 cents on eBay,
surrounding me.
I'm sure!
Most expensive?
I would like to hope at least a hundred dollars.
I'd be okay with a hundred dollars
being the most expensive thing.
That's the minimum for me, though.
It needs to be at least a hundred.
Ooh!
Wait, this is the least expensive thing?
- [Producer] No, no, this is the most.
[Lilly clears throat]
- Whatever, I don't even care.
Um, so this-
[Lilly laughs]
There's a cardboard cut out of me that is 69 dollars!
The most expensive thing about me is 69 dollars?
Also, that number!
So I can get further roasted in the comments!
This is horrible!
You go to Whole Foods and buy one loaf of bread,
and it's 69 dollars!
Okay? My God!
It's fine, we're still hum- We're humble.
This is an interesting choice, though,
because this is from an event
where I'm wearing a branded tee shirt,
so there's just so many different ways
you could get sued here.
Then, the least expensive thing-
Okay, 4.26, I said 2.99, so, hey!
This book is the book
that is not written by me,
but very much so makes it seem like it's written by me.
It says, "Lilly Singh, the Unofficial Superwoman Guide,"
by Joe Berry.
Joe, let me talk to you real quick, 'kay?
Boo, listen to me.
When my book came out,
I need you to know that this book
was the bane of my existence.
I'm sorry! I appreciate you, I respect you,
but it was the bane of my existence!
Because of the confusion it caused with my book!
Having said all of that,
I sincerely hope, from the bottom of my heart,
that you have secured the bag.
If I could give this to you in some way,
I hope many people have bought this book for 4.26.
I hope you secured the bag, Joe.
That is my wish for you. That is my wish for you!
I just want to also say,
that cardboard cutout says 30 day returns,
which further breaks my heart,
because- [Producer laughs]
- On top of the 69 dollar cardboard cut out,
now there's a return policy that says
if you're not satisfied, we'll give you a full refund!
Not even a store credit!
Not even something that shows some sort of commitment,
like an exchange.
A full refund!
Okay, we need to get out of here.
The end!
What did you think?
First of all, I'm- I'm utterly shook,
and I really enjoyed learning all of this,
and I did not know a lot of this.
I'm not going to lie, I strolled into this situation,
I was like, "They're gonna show me some stuff,
I'm gonna know all of them,
and I'm gonna have to pretend like I don't-"
I didn't know any of that.
Usually when things like winning Teen Choice Awards
or being put on lists, press lists, happen,
because I'm so busy,
I don't fully take the moment to enjoy those things.
Seeing how a lot of the spikes on the chart
where because of those moments,
I was like, "Oh!"
Like, "That was a big moment!"
I'm going to say that I'm going to try my best
to enjoy those moments, 'cause they do make-
They do matter!
They matter.
