etonline.com:

Amber Ruffin has breathed new life into the genre with her smart and silly take on news combined with her fresh perspective on events of the world not often heard anywhere else onscreen.

Whether it’s through song -- and there are plenty of originals she belts out each week -- or recurring segments like, “How Did We Get Here?,” Ruffin’s made her streaming series appointment TV as she tackles everything from racial institutions in America to sitting down with the best and brightest of Broadway.

Now that the series has closed out another successful season with a finale that featured the host and her sister, Lacey Lamar, fangirling over El DeBarge while she also tried to keep it cool while interviewing Cynthia Erivo, Ruffin opens up to ET about what she’s achieved with the series, writing jokes for the 2022 Tony Awards and being recognized by the Emmys.
