Summary

Comedian, actor and producer Lilly Singh joins the show. Over bacon and eggs, I ask about her new film ‘DOIN IT,’ a sex comedy seven years in the making that’s as hilarious as it is groundbreaking. Lilly shares the challenges of being seen as “too niche,” why she brought her mom on as a cultural consultant, and how she’s determined to build her own table in Hollywood. We dive into her viral TED Talk on gender equity, the way gratitude is often weaponized against women, and what she carries from her time in late night. This episode was recorded at Lindens at the Arlo Hotel in SoHo, New York City. Want next week’s episode now? Subscribe to Dinner’s on Me PLUS.

actually see in real time how your body responds to what you're eating, your stress, your sleep,

and even when you take a walk after dinner, instead of guessing, you suddenly get this clear picture

of what's happening inside your body. Here's what I like.

Signos can tell you which foods actually cause blood sugar spikes.

It can give you little nudges in the moment like, hey, maybe take a quick walk.

0:46.8

And it even helps you notice the difference between when you're really hungry and when you're just bored or stressed.

0:53.5

Honestly, I wish I had had this when I was figuring

out how to eat more intuitively. Signos really does take the guesswork out of managing your weight

1:32.3

It's busy in the best possible way.

1:35.1

And when you're juggling all that and you realize you need to hire someone fast, that's a whole different kind of heat.

1:41.5

That's where Indeed comes in.

1:43.7

When it comes to hiring, Indeed is all you need.

1:47.1

Instead of waiting around hoping someone sees your post, Indeed's sponsored jobs puts your
