the funny thing about late night...
18 December 2022
...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!
