-Amazing stuff happening.
But tonight, and I'm so happy you chose our show,
you have a big announcement. -I do.
I mean a lot of things -- [ Drumroll ]
Don't start so soon! Oh, my God!
You're giving me a heart attack already.
Gee, Quest over there, he's like, "Let's go.
Let's keep it rolling."
Well, yeah, I do have a big announcement.
I mean, I've done a lot of exciting things this year.
You know, I've started my own production company,
called Unicorn Island Productions.
-Yeah. Unicorn Island.
-And so, I'm really into just creating dope things.
And so, I did I want to announce something on this show,
but before I do, I want to say
I could not be more thrilled to do it on this show,
and I really do mean this, Jimmy, because I know you all
watch him, and he's so funny,
but Jimmy is one of the nicest human beings on this planet.
Truly, I mean that. I really, really mean that.
[ Cheers and applause ]
From the very first time I came on this show --
From the very first time I came till right now,
you've been such a supporter and such a champion.
So I want to say thank you to you
for letting me announce it on this show,
and I'm forever grateful.
But I do have an announcement, and that is
that your girl is getting her own NBC late-night show!
[ Cheers and applause ] -Yes!
♪♪
Welcome! -Thank you!
-Congratulations!
[ Cheers and applause ]
All right, wait. Let's stop.
You're getting your own show? -I am.
And to clarify, it's not Jimmy's slot.
-Okay, I was gonna say,
that would be a horrible announcement.
"Yeah. Oh. Yeah." -And this is how you find out.
-The new host of "The Tonight Show," yeah.
I know, and I'm so excited. But it's called --
Can I tell you what it's called? -Yes. It has a name?
-It has a name. -Yes.
-It's called "A Little Late with Lilly Singh."
-Oh, come on. -I know, I know.
-When does it premiere? Do we know?
-So, fallish, probably September.
-Wow. -And I'm so excited because
I truly get to create a show from scratch.
You know, I get to make it inclusive,
I get to create comedy segments and interview people
and really create something that I believe in.
And I'm so honored and humbled.
-What's the show gonna be like?
-Kind of like my YouTube channel, but just,
you know, now I have more than three staff members.
[ Laughter ]
And my sound guy won't also be an extra
and won't also write the scripts.
So, it's like -- it's nice.
-So it's gonna be me, then Seth Meyers, and then you.
-Yeah!
-You're in the NBC late-night family.
-I mean... -That's good stuff.
-Can I just say...? [ Cheers and applause ]
-That's a good block. That's a good block right there.
-Can I just say -- I mean, I got to just say
a huge shout-out to all the women who have been before me
and are currently in the space,
because I couldn't have done it without them paving the path.
Truly, I couldn't have. -I totally agree.
-But I do think it's a little awesome
for Indian-Canadian women, also. -Aha! Come on, man.
Breaking records.
-So I'm super-honored and humbled.
-Are you gonna have a desk? -I don't know.
I'm trying to decide if I want a desk.
I really don't know. -Do you want to try it out?
-Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
All right. Thank you so much.
All right. -I love your energy.
I love your energy. -Oh, thank you.
Thank you. Thank you, my friend.
Congrats on your success. -Hello, my friend.
"Congrats on your success." [ Laughs ]
-Oh, my God. This is pretty --
Should I ask you some questions, then?
-Yeah, go ahead. -All right, cool.
So, Jimmy -- Jimmy Fallon, everyone.
Jimmy Fallon, everyone. [ Cheers and applause ]
I love this guy. I love this guy.
Also has one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world.
So, do you have any advice for a new host?
Asking for a friend. [ Laughter ]
Do you have any advice for someone that might,
you know, be hosting? -My advice -- don't get sick.
-Cool. -You can't get sick.
There's so many people that depend on you, crew-wise.
They have to feed their families, but also,
the millions of people watching.
They need to see, so do not get sick.
If you can control that in anyway.
-Is it too late for me to go back?
[ Laughter ]
-I think my real advice is, and you already know this --
that's why you're very successful --
is just to be yourself. And you're fantastic as you.
Everyone can smell if you're phony or not yourself,
and don't be somebody else, be you,
and that's why you're great. -Thank you so much.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And what do you do when you're nervous?
What do you do when you're nervous?
-How do you get rid of nerves?
-The adrenaline just takes over. It's just such a rush.
It's so much fun.
And you're gonna have so many shows where you're just
gonna mess up, and you're gonna be like,
"Oh, my God, it's the worst," and no one will remember it.
-I love that.
-You'll be the only person that remembers.
-Well, I just hope I am half of the host that you are.
-Oh. You are going to be better than me.
[ Cheers and applause ] Actually, we have someone here
that would like to wish you congratulations.
-What to the who now? -Yeah.
Because you're in the NBC late-night family,
everyone, please welcome the host of
"Late Night with Seth Meyers," Seth Meyers!
