The Canadian star is not only the first Indian-Canadian woman to host a late night show, she is currently the only woman to host a late night show on one of the big four networks.

She’s not the only woman with a late night show, as fellow Canadian, Samantha Bee also hosts a late night show, albeit not on one of the big four. Singh also isn’t the only Indian-Canadian woman to have a show in the fall lineup, as Hannah Simone of New Girl fame, is on ABC’s fall roster.

Singh’s fame has been largely on YouTube, where she has over 14 million subscribers and goes by the pseudonym ||Superwoman||. She has several acting credits to her name, including the movie, Bad Moms. Recently, Singh came out as bisexual. She is also the New York Times Bestselling author of How To Be A Bawse.

Looks like she’s showing everyone who’s bawse.
