The Amber Ruffin Show

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 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.

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!

...is Amber Ruffin. What is wrong with these 1 star review guys (they're mostly guys!)?? As a non-american, I find most late night humour is trite and dull, but Amber and her writers are real and actually funny. I only watch Seth Meyers for Amber! The 'How did we get here' segments are more hard-hitting than anything you'll get on the other late night shows, and refreshingly the humour isn't sanitised into oblivion. Amber is genuinely quick witted, and genuine in generally actually - interviews with guests have been a lovely because they've been with people she really admires and appreciates. The silly bits are silly, and they acknowledge they are; let's face it, absurdity is necessary in these absurd times. I can't help but wonder how she would do in the UK, though I for one would watch the hell out of anything Amber does. 9 stars because there's always room for improvement!

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.
