As President-elect Donald Trump brings attention to the fact that NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers is basically just MSNBC with silly metaphors, show writer Amber Ruffin joined the Tuesday show to recall an incident several days prior where Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer’s husband, Bruce, did not shake Vice President Kamala Harris’s hand during her swearing-in photo-op. Instead of pointing out Bruce Fischer uses a cane, Ruffin tried to smear him as a racist.
In lieu of his usual “Closer Look” segment, Meyers welcomed Ruffin for “Amber Says ‘What’,” where Ruffin reacts to news stories by saying “what” in various ways. For this bit, Ruffin recalled, “Then, I saw that everyone was talking about Kamala Harris at the swearing-in of Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer, and I was like, ‘What, why?’ But then I saw the video.”
Late Night…
