The Amber Ruffin Show

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.

...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!

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.

I laugh more consistently watching this show than any other late night show. And the effort they put in (with no guests to lean on) is impressive. They create original songs every episode and try out new creative bits to keep it fresh. I just get bored with the segments where she gives a straightforward lecture that's just a collection of oversimplified liberal talking points. I can usually enjoy funny satire from different perspectives, but I don't see the point in those preachy pieces. Anyway, the goofy and bright style of humor in the rest of the show keeps me coming back.

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!
