one of the biggest social media followings in the world.

She's also the host of "A Little Late with Lilly Singh."

Season 2 premiered last night

and airs weeknights at 1:35 a.m. on NBC.

Set your DVRs.

Here's our pal Lilly Singh.

Oh! -Hey, Jimmy, my man!

So good to see you. -Look at you.

You look fantastic.

Thank you so much for doing this and being here.

-I know, I bring all the Tinky-Winky vibes.

-You do? [ Laughs ]

Is that Tinky-Winky? I love that.

-Boop.

-Dude, last time you were on the show --

By the way, congrats on the show, Season 2.

Watched last night. -Thank you.

-Loved your Kamala Harris.

-Thank you.

-And you had a good little inside joke

about being on at 1:35. I loved it.

But the -- I was thinking, I go, didn't --

'Cause I remember -- Somehow I connected you two

for some reason. I go, "Why did I connect this?"

And you met President -- Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris

on our show, the last time you did our show.

-Yes, I did. And you don't understand

it's the biggest flex -- There it is.

It's the biggest flex ever.

I vividly remember. I think this was actually

the day that was before my Season 1 premiere.

-Yes. -Where, you know,

Kamala Harris was the first guest, and she came,

and they said, "Hey, Kamala Harris would like to say hi."

And I was like, "Uh, yes, absolutely."

And she proceeded to just be amazing.

She was like, "Lilly, everything you're doing,

I love that you're doing it, and it's so important.

And you're a big voice for the community."

And she was saying all these things

about how I'm so inspiring and I'm paving a path.

And I'm like, you're Kamala Harris.

Like, how are you saying this to me?

-You're that. You're that.

-I'm like, "Am I in the Matrix right now?

Like, this is you. You are that person."

-Who is talking about who? Yeah. That's so funny.

-You know that meme of Spider-Man looking at himself?

-Yes, of course. Dude, Spider-Man.

-Literally, I was like, "I am shook

that you're saying this about me because --" And I have to say

that her energy and presence was just so invigorating.

I think I went out and did my most comfortable performance

with you, Jimmy, 'cause I was Kamalafied.

She Kamalafied me.

-Kamalafied. You became Kamalafied.

And so you just came out and just --

Yeah, you did rip it up that night. It was great.

-Thank you.

-I wanted to ask you about what you --

'Cause quarantine, everyone's at home and trying to be safe.

But I think -- I did. A lot of people did --

Took to social media to just start doing things.

And you, who I first were introduced to you

because you were a YouTube superstar,

uh, and I was going to ask you, what did you think of all of it,

and what did you think of everyone's stuff?

-Yeah. I mean, you know, like most people,

quarantine for me has been a time of reflecting.

It took a global pandemic for me to sit and be like,

"What is my life? What do I like?

What are my priorities?"

Um, and, you know, I think I'm a big believer

that everything is a double-edged sword. Right?

I love social media.

I have a career because of social media.

I'm sitting here with you right now because of social media.

And so I do think it's a wonderful tool

to connect people, to get informed,

to feel part of something.

But, you know, I'd be remiss

if I didn't say that it also can be quite toxic.

And I think I got into a little bit of a phase

where I thought Twitter was real life

and Instagram was real life.

And I was living in that world.

And then I had to be like, "This is not how I want to live."

Like, there is so much toxicity online.

Um, and I talked about this in the season --

in the premiere monologue,

that especially during the Black Lives Matter movement,

I felt like social media was just so full of division.

And I actually went to a protest in real life,

and it was beautiful.

And for me, that was that moment where I thought,

"The real world deserves our attention,

as much or more than I'm giving it on the phone."

And so I deleted social media off my phone during quarantine.

And it's been really great.

I feel like I'm a lot more present.

-Really?

-Apparently, there's trees outside.

-No, no, that's not true. -Don't know when that happened.

-There's trees in my backyard.

I was like, "When did these get here?"

-Wait, dude, trees are trending right now.

Trees are trending #2, people rediscovering trees.

They love it. -Yeah, literally.

-Yeah. That's so --

Wait, so you just went no Twitter?

-Yeah, I mean, I deleted it off my phone.

I won't lie. It's kind of like a drunk relationship.

Like you know how when people get drunk, they text their ex?

My thing is if I get drunk, I download Twitter.

Like, this is my relationship with Twitter.

I be drunk and I'm like,

"You know, just one tweet,

one quick -- It means nothing."

And then I download Twitter.

So I definitely relapse and have moments.

But I try to not -- You know what I'm trying to avoid, Jimmy?

I'm trying to avoid the human tendency we have,

where if we have a spare four minutes before anything,

we go like this.

-Yes. -I'm trying to get rid of that.

-Yeah. -Because I'd rather do this.

I'd rather be, like, checking in with myself.

I'd rather control the energy I'm getting in my day.

And I just don't want to give that control away.

-Yeah, I find that, I go,

"Oh, that is so annoying if somebody does that."

And then once someone does it,

it makes me want to look at my phone.

-Exactly. Exactly.

-What am I missing out on? You know, and it's like --

-Because you feel like the idiot.

You're like, "Oh, should I be doing this, too?"

-Yeah. We have to find out what's new, who's trending,

who hates who, what's going on. It's like, "No, I --"

-And I find myself magnetically attracted to comments and drama.

And that's on me. I feel like I go onto anything,

I'm diving in the comments.

-It's human. -"Oh, someone wrote something?

What did people reply saying?" And now I'm in this world

where I'm like, "How did I get here?

Why do I care about any of this?"

-Yeah, no, it's just a human thing.

I wanted to ask you about Season 2.

You changed it up. It's great.

-Thanks!

-I love that you did that.

I think it's good. You have to try --

Everyone should try new things and see what sticks.

And it's like, you totally changed it

from the first season.

-I did. I grabbed it by the reins, to be honest.

You know, Season 1, for me -- I'll just be honest.

I came on your show, Jimmy, Season 1.

I was wearing that green outfit, and I came, and I said,

"I'm breaking the rules of late night.

You know, I'm going to change the format."

And then I literally proceeded to do the exact same format

and did everything that I said I'm wasn't going to do.

And I take that "L" on my shoulders

because I think Season 1, I was learning a complete new world.

You know? The learning curve was so steep for me.

And so, I found myself not being completely myself.

I found myself trying to be someone

that would please the late-night world

and please all the articles and headlines.

And so I had to, like, really have a talk with myself

before Season 2 and say, "You need to make this you."

And that's what I've done.
