YouTuber Drew Gooden blasts Lilly Singh\u2019s \u201cterrible\u201d late night show Top YouTuber Lilly Singh, aka \u201cSupawoman,\u201d has made the jump from social media star to late night television host \u2013 but not everyone is impressed with her new show, one of whom is popular YouTuber Drew Gooden. Singh debuted her show \u201cA Little Late with Lilly Singh\u201d in September, marking one of the biggest jumps to mainstream media that the YouTube community has seen thus far. However, critics across the net are at odds with her role as a late night TV host, with some finding her jokes unfunny, and in Drew Gooden\u2019s case, a veritable \u201ctrainwreck.\u201d Gooden, a popular YouTube video-essayist with over 1.7 million subscribers, dissected Lilly\u2019s new show in a video on November 29, where he criticized Singh for telling the same jokes about race and gender over and over again. \u201cMy standpoint is simply from a comedic angle \u2013 using the same joke over and over again shows a lack of creativity,\u201d Gooden explained. \u201cThis is the same reason why a lot of people tend to not like Amy Schumer, because there\u2019s very little variety in her material and it gets stale quickly.\u201d While Gooden congratulated Singh on being the first woman of color to host her very own late night show, he isn\u2019t alone in his sentiments: he evidenced a slew of YouTube comments with the same issue, and even went on to point out that editors seemed to cut in \u201cfake laughter\u201d after her jokes for added effect. \u201cIn addition to these problems with the audience, the show is overly scripted that it leaves no room for authenticity,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe core of this show should be the celebrity interviews. It should be impossible to mess these up. And yet, they do.\u201d Gooden isn\u2019t the only major YouTuber taking issue with Singh\u2019s show and \u201cover used\u201d jokes about race and gender, either \u2013 YouTube king Felix \u201cPewDiePie\u201d Kjellberg likewise Tweeted about the matter on the same day. \u201cI\u2019m so thankful whenever I\u2019m reminded that NBC decided to put a bisexual woman of color as their host of a late late night show,\u201d he wrote, adding a sarcastic smiley face. https:\/\/twitter.com\/pewdiepie\/status\/1200516955817398272?s=20 While this wouldn\u2019t be the first time Singh\u2019s show has come under fire, the criticism follows a slew of other top YouTubers making their way out of the space, from KSI\u2019s song breaking into the UK Top 10 and Logan Paul hoping for a career in professional fighting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
