Yeah, he's always on point ready to improv without a plan- that's his whole thing, that he's just crazy enough to dive right in with no planning and wing it and come up with funny stuff. I can see why some might not think he's that funny, but you have to admit he's got creative talent.

I refuse to believe Amber as Fun Obama wasn't brilliant! Booo to the Washington audience. Booooo I say! Amber's laughter at the prank she and Jenny played on Seth is enough to light up a dying sun. I'm a happily married straight woman and I would leave my husband for Amber in a heartbeat.
"I like chaos!" is such a mood. I love Amber!
I miss Amber's Show and all her hijinks with Tarik. It was a delight watching the improv, the introspection, the history and the comedy unfold with each episode. Not to mention the exquisite array of fabulous jackets and bow ties. Wasn't a fan of bringing in an audience, but the writing was always stellar. Sorry to hear about the divorce. Glad it wasn't something the public at large was privy to in any way and it was kept private. Some business of other people is not ours to know. Big congrats on bringing The Wiz back to Broadway. Hopefully the show will tour so the rest of us will have a chance to celebrate it. Never had the opportunity to see it on stage, just the film version with Nipsey Russel, Michael Jackson, Miss Diana and Ted Ross. Here's to a long yellow brick run of The Wiz! 💚
Day drinking with Amber Ruffin would be awesome!

I met Amber's sister like a year ago in her hometown and sold her some fitness equipment. One of the nicest people I've ever met. Both ladies are great! Love your work, Amber!
This had more of a podcast vibe than a normal late night interview, and I’m here for it. Love seeing them try to make each other laugh.

We NEED them to add Amber as an occasional sidekick.

Her energy is just right and dovetails with Seth's so well- I'd even be ok with her subbing in on weeks / days Seth isn't available maybe?
