The Amber Ruffin Show

To be honest, I've never watched this show. I've liked Amber Ruffin in other things I've seen her in. Obviously this show has been review bombed by a bunch of sad white baby-men. Sorry Black women are so scary to you.

I think Amber Ruffin is an incredible writer, and her segments on Seth Myers have been some of my favorite on his show.

The Amber Ruffin show is going up, with no live audience, exclusively on a streaming service. Which is not common with late night talk shows. She also has no guests. I guarantee that it will take a little bit of time for it all for this to feel more natural. I really like Amber as a comedian, and I really really hope this show doesn't get cancelled.

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.

It's easy to get tired of the same old jokes from regular late night shows. This offers a fresh perspective, no matter one's political stance. The show is filled with really good stuff, delivered fantastically well. Amber Ruffin is great on Seth Myers, and is even better here, with a chance to do longer forms of her material. She's the comic (and often brutal social commentator) who I enjoy the most next to Frankie Boyle. Her interaction with guests is joyous, and she clearly has a great team of writers on her side. Favourite sections for me are the monologue and the "How Did We Get here" parts, which should probably be required watching for anyone who doesn't know their history - it's certainly taught me a few things!

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.
