Lilly Singh has returned to YouTube sketch comedy with My First Day Back at YouTube, released on October 15, 2026. The video brings her familiar characters into a new comeback sketch, while Singh says her next phase will put creative freedom ahead of a punishing upload routine.
This is a return to a particular kind of comedy, rather than the launch of a new channel. Viewers can watch the sketch through Singh’s verified Linktree, which links directly to the official upload.
What is My First Day Back at YouTube?
IndiaTimes’ October 15 report describes a fictional return to YouTube headquarters, a satirical “War Room” sequence involving YouTube and Netflix, and appearances by characters including Manjeet and Paramjeet. These are comedy scenes, not announcements of a corporate role or partnership with Netflix.
For viewers who remember Singh as Superwoman, the familiar characters are the clearest connection to her earlier work. For newcomers, the premise supplies an introduction: an established performer revisits the online world that first made her recognizable.

Why Lilly Singh is returning to sketch comedy
In an October 15 interview published by YouTube, Singh said character comedy gives her joy and purpose. She described wanting proper art and production departments, bringing lessons from television and film into her independent work.
She also emphasized reaching her international audience directly and writing culturally specific jokes without stopping to explain every reference. Alan Chikin Chow and Jeenie Weenie appear in the comeback sketch, according to the interview.
A different measure of a successful comeback
Singh’s stated priorities are stronger writing, acting and production, with less dependence on views or a rigid Monday-and-Thursday schedule. The interview does not establish a new fixed upload calendar.
That leaves a useful distinction for fans: the new sketch is available now; a continuing release timetable remains unannounced in the sources reviewed. Tubefilter’s October 16 roundup also covered the return, placing it among the week’s creator developments.
The project joins other examples of creators choosing formats around their own work, including MoistCr1TiKaL’s animated-series project. Whether Singh’s revived sketches build a lasting audience will depend on the work that follows; the first release alone cannot settle that question.
