Amber Ruffin To Become Only Black Woman In Late-Night With New Show
The Amber Ruffin show will highlight Ruffin’s “signature smart and silly take on this week’s news.”Expect the Late Night with Seth Meyers writer to address what’s happening in the world (including COVID-19, racism and more) with a thoughtful mix of playfulness and seriousness—and there may or may not be a beaded evening gown involved. The Peacock promises that The Amber Ruffin Show will skip all the boring stuff viewers despise about late night and feature just the “good parts”—as in the laughs. “Having a late-night show on Peacock is so exciting!” said Ruffin, who’s the first Black woman to write for a late-night show.
