He’s giving you what you need to be a human being in this world. What are your favorite social media accounts to follow? I'm shocked that more people didn’t latch onto it. I turned it on, and one second later, the entire season was over. I just sat down and I thought, I work for Peacock, I should support this show. What shows have been keeping you up at night? If I don't have to work that day, I don't read shit. Then I get out of bed unless I don't have to work that day. I open up my Apple news app and I read the news. What’s the first thing you read in the morning? And like every Black woman in America, I said, Fuck it.
OMBER SERIES TV
I just thought, if just one human being would go on TV and call shit “shit,” we wouldn't have to feel like this. The fire behind the show was that period of time when the news wouldn't call racist stuff “racist.” And then I became fully insane. I want them to feel a little more comfortable in their skin. What do you want people to take away from an episode when they’ve finished watching? I bet when I interview Seth, that’ll be my favorite. Who is your favorite guest that you’ve interviewed on your show? I always, what is the silliest thing I can wear and not feel too embarrassed? I like to feel a little bit embarrassed. She was saying something to the effect of, “My goal is fun.” I’m like, that’s it. If I needed to throw away half my wardrobe tomorrow, I could do it. If you came into my house, you would be like, Oh, this is a hotel. I’ve never gotten to keep anything, but also I don’t like stuff. If I could wear a hoodie, I would.ĭo you get to keep anything that the wardrobe team dresses you in for the show? No! No one is seeing my arms and my legs but my husband. From the outside, I would say it’s slightly androgynous, but from the inside, I would say just the comfy cutest. That is what I normally look like, like Eddie Murphy in Trading Places. Once, outside of work-and this is true-I was standing and I had a cup of coffee that I had drank and a cigarette in my hand, and someone put money in my cup of coffee. They told me I was doing the show and asked what I wanted to look like, and I said, “Kurt Hummel from Glee.” You wear a different colorful suit for each episode of The Amber Ruffin Show. Below, Ruffin talks about her hopes for the show, the story behind her signature look, and her favorite interview guest. The crowd, warmed up by comedian Marie Faustin, was energetic, and the show, described as a “smart-and-silly” take on current events, lived up to its reputation. The host had just interviewed Cynthia Erivo, and played a game with her sister, Lacey Lamar, and El DeBarge for her show’s second season finale-the bit certainly wasn’t sad. “I couldn’t have a sad show! I can’t do that,” she says. Ruffin, who has been nominated for an Emmy four times for her writing on Late Night With Seth Meyers and once for The Amber Ruffin Show, welcomed me into the room, margarita in hand, and dove right in, discussing the state of the world and her inspiration for commenting on the news.
The backstage area designated for Ruffin and her writers at 30 Rockefeller Plaza is already a party room at 3 P.M. “Baby, do you need a margarita?” is the first question Amber Ruffin, host of her eponymous Peacock late night talk show, asks when I meet her after a taping of The Amber Ruffin Show.
