On the latest segment of Amber Ruffin’s “Amber Says What” on “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” the comedian reacts to Bill Cosby’s plan to go on tour, George Santos lying about his personal life and recent Andrew Tate’s inadvertent eviction over Hollywood’s Nepo kids and Greta Thunberg uproar.
It’s been a busy past few weeks for news, and to help cover some of the topics Meyers has been unable to touch on, Ruffin steps in to give a recap with her segment, “Amber Says What.” .
One of their first topics was a New York magazine article about “How a Nepo Baby Is Born”, which alludes to the many celebs and their now-Hollywood successful children.
“So, the way it works is that if a famous person has a child, and that child grows up to be famous, they’re a Nepo baby. Like Seth,” Ruffin said.
“I’m not Nepo Baby,” Meyers responded to Ruffin’s statement. “Yes you are, Lorne Michaels is your father,” Ruffin said. No, he’s not,” Meyers replied. “Then why do you need his approval so badly?” Ruffin inquired of Meyers. “Maybe, maybe he’s my dad,” Meyers said.
During the segment she also called out Bill Cosby, who reportedly has plans to go on tour in 2023.
“Bill Cosby is reportedly going on tour, and I was like, ‘What!’ What kind of tour, apology tour? Why would you pay to see Bill Cosby? So you can keep an eye on him? You like knowing where he is at all times? How can you sit in the audience like that? going?” said Ruffin, who then made a gesture as if she was covering a drink, taking a shot at Cosby, who had been convicted of drug and sexual assault on women prior to conviction on appeal.
He then mentioned the controversy surrounding Jorge Santos, who was exposed by the New York Times for lying about his biography, his education, and other details about his personal life.
“And then something very ordinary happened: A politician got caught in a lie,” Ruffin said. “But then I found out it was Republican Representative George Santos, and I was like, ‘What did he say?’ So, the answer is everything! He said he’s Jewish, but then when pressed about it, he said, ‘I’m not Jewish, I’m Jewish-ish.’ And I was like, ‘Are you stealing my boss’s jokes?’ ,
Later, while Ruffin puffs on a real cigarette, the segment lists all of Santos’ false claims, including his claims that he is black, that he used to run an animal charity and that he was a landlord who was COVID-19 positive. 19 was affected by the pandemic. ,
“That was a real cigarette,” Ruffin said in awe. “Was that real?”
His final topic focused on the recent arrest of former professional kickboxer and media personality Andrew Tate in connection with his links to a human trafficking ring and his online beef with environmentalist Geta Thunberg.
“He was arrested on like a zillion charges, like all the worst stuff I’ve ever heard,” Ruffin said. “Now, I don’t want to go into what she was accused of, but let’s just say she might open up to Bill Cosby.”
Among other topics, Ruffin highlighted the recent AI photos obsession, Brittany Griner’s release from Russian custody, and the “guess who died” TikTok challenge.
