The Amber Ruffin Show

How did she get a show?!

Can Tarik Davis be the host instead? He at least has humor, wit, charisma and comedic timing, all things that Amber Ruffin lacks. Maybe if she says her lines with an even bigger toothy smile they'll be funny.... Nope, didn't work. Evert time she opens her mouth it's just cringy and off-putting. I tried watching a few episodes but end up changing the channel, actually feeling bad for her while thinking "no girl, please stop"

Thankfully, this show is more on the positive side due to Amber's energetic approach to the news. If you have Peacock, you'll be lucky to know about this weekly program. Highly recommend.

To be fair, I was always rooting for Amber's show, yet early episodes were so full of songs and filler ramblings, without much structure.

Recent episodes, as of 3/11/22, have TOTALLY RAISED THE BAR, with a solid monologue, fun bits, some infotainment welcome by me, and yeah still some songs which are now MUCH funnier than past performances.

This show has grown over a short period of time so much.

Went from cheering for the show to CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!

I laugh more consistently watching this show than any other late night show. And the effort they put in (with no guests to lean on) is impressive. They create original songs every episode and try out new creative bits to keep it fresh. I just get bored with the segments where she gives a straightforward lecture that's just a collection of oversimplified liberal talking points. I can usually enjoy funny satire from different perspectives, but I don't see the point in those preachy pieces. Anyway, the goofy and bright style of humor in the rest of the show keeps me coming back.

Recently started watching, so haven't watched older episodes as they're no longer topical, so I don't what it was like then, though it probably didn't change much. The show's just really goofy, and the lack of a studio audience doesn't help, but if you like silly-turn-your-brain-off humor, it's pretty funny. Also it's not all about race and politics, so I don't know where that idea came from-maybe it was more prominent in the earlier episodes.
