Tonight is the 22nd Annual Webby Awards! We’re kicking off the evening’s festivities with a special guest: host of the 22nd Webbys and writer for Late Night with Seth Meyers, Amber Ruffin.
Webby Podcast host David-Michel Davies sits down with Amber to discuss her hilarious journey to the Late Night writers room—hint: it includes a brief, five-year departure to Amsterdam, what she likes/dislikes about Internet culture, and what she looks forward to at tonight’s show.
“ Seth hired the nicest people he knew. He’s said ‘A lot of people could do this job. I hired the nicest people I knew.’ And, he really did—I love those people so bad.”
Watch Amber host the star-studded celebration and the Internet’s biggest, on Tuesday, May 15th www.webbyawards.com.
