Peacock Critically-Acclaimed Topical Late-Night Series “The Amber Ruffin Show” Is Back with New Episodes

Peacock’s critically-acclaimed Variety late-night series, THE AMBER RUFFIN SHOW, season two will return with new episodes dropping every Friday beginning on Friday, February 25.

“We are so excited to be back with all new episodes of The Amber Ruffin Show! Each show is a new reason to be grateful and have a margarita,” said Ruffin.

THE AMBER RUFFIN SHOW showcases Amber’s signature smart and silly take on the week’s news. No matter what’s happening in the world, Amber responds to it with a charming mix of seriousness, nonsense, and evening gowns. THE AMBER RUFFIN SHOW is a topical late-night show with just the good parts – the comedy.

Ruffin was also recently nominated for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Host in a Reality/Reality Competition, Game Show or Variety (Series or Special).

With its Primetime Emmy nomination, THE AMBER RUFFIN SHOW was the first late night show on streaming to receive a Variety writing nomination.
