The Amber Ruffin Show

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.

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.

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'm convinced that any review above a 6.5 star is fake. I just did not think the show was that funny. Seemed similar to other late-night shows that just seem played out and like the host thinks they're the funniest person there. Just my opinion though.
