As one of only two women in late night, the self-described "unicorn"—she's the first bisexual Canadian woman of Indian descent in this job—doesn't take her place in TV history lightly. "I always say not every story has to be about everyone, but there should be stories for everyone," Singh said.
That's where being an executive producer on the show has proven to be key. "You know, as a woman of color, it is important to also be involved in the business side of things," she said. "As much as we talk about representation on screen, representation behind screen is equally as important. And when we're talking about my vision coming to life on screen, and it being authentic to me, that doesn't only happen when I'm in front of the camera.
As Singh tells it, her mission is crystal clear. "Listen, my purpose is very, very simple," she said. "It is to create a path so that two can go to four can go to six or eight. That is my sole purpose, and I have no other goal. These are my goals: having fun, being proud, paving a path."airs Monday-Friday at 1:35 a.m. on NBC.
