[@emix1010]

Once again, Amber's brand of soft silly humor is a stronger take on grave and discouraging issues than meets the eye.

[@Gredddfe]

That was... something unexpectedly touching and heartfelt from a comedy show.

[@Shan2TheBoner1987]

I think more than any other late night host, Seth actually takes the time to try and create a dialogue.

[@sillygoose635]

@@Shan2TheBoner1987 Colbert?

[@AndrewJohnson-oy8oj]

Just what I was about to say.

[@KraziKlutz12]

She said Chris Evans and I didn't even question it

[@pamelacass9642]

KraziKlutz12 Chris Somebody. 😆

[@Newfiecat]

I honestly can't tell any of the Chrises apart, lol

[@IGotaFever4U]

Same!

[@IsiahTomas]

Kirk is pretty- wait, what?

[@Kattywagon29]

LOL Me either.

[@sallyversace]

"Seth, you're white. You have a safe space, it's called America." 😂😂😂

[@csabajuhasz6516]

any scene with Amber fills me with warmth

[@modemmack]

Csaba Juhász Where is the filling and warmth located. On second thought, nevermind. 😆

[@deprofundis3293]

Ivan Johnson Oh just stop you perv

[@jasper3706]

Ivan Johnson That was a horrible joke. Love it.

[@sebnetnmenet4133]

Seth has the best writers of all late night shows (well... Colbert is close). Perfect.

[@TCt83067695]

Csaba Juhász me too... Tho i'm not such a fan of safe spaces - or rather what they've become. But amber is just too darn cute for me to care

[@DuskyPredator]

Some people are complaining that this is cringey, and to an honest extent I can see where you might be coming from. But if it makes you feel a little uncomfortable, it might be all the more important that there is something you should take in, that there might be something you need to think about. But in saying that, I actually found this very charming, it actually felt like a little skit that was welcoming, and also kind of encouraging to be open in return. You can admit you are not perfect, but there is a clear line that the thing we should not tolerate is an actual lack of tolerance, and unfound hate just for the way someone is. Be excellent to each other.

[@jakepullman4914]

Party on, dude.

[@mehjones8008]

Cringey? I LOVED this! Who would get that from this? They must be cringeworthy people.

[@Arkatox]

Honestly, I thought this was the best skit I’ve ever seen from this show.

[@NinjaCoto]

Yes, I found it sweet

[@irisheyes720]

I love Seth. Who wouldn't. One of the best things about his show is the respect he has for his writers. He gives them a bit of a showcase and that speaks to his strong character.

[@NewMessage]

Wow.. nice to have a budget. My safe space is just sitting in the corner of the room, screaming into a pillow for 45 minutes. I think I'm doing it wrong.

[@ExistentialGojora]

New Message - I need to put this effing phone down and grab my pillow.

[@TheCstar07]

New Message depends... do you use the cool side of the pillow?

[@trint3089]

Nah you got it.

[@Sindre1]

At least bring some wine or cookies or something to the corner next time ;)

[@dsho1199]

New Message 45 mins? No, scream at 45!! He's the reason you are screaming right now

[@AlfredoMartinezA]

I think Amber needs her safe space more than ever.

[@Oechsey]

The world needs more Ambers...There. I said it. She's awesome. Greetings from Germany :)

[@Philemaphobia]

Yep, we love her over here :)

[@sumit2658]

We need one in Germany too!

[@kinngrimm]

@Sumit only if she then also speaks and jokes in english ;) so we could proudly show the world "see we got one too"

[@ajnode]

WHOOOAAAAHHH "There I said it" -- coming to a Seth Meyers video and posting a positive comment in a comment section where 95% of the people agree with you. SO BRAVE!

[@Oechsey]

Please tell us, once you've discovered humor. :)

[@iFakeNormal]

I always love Amber and I really appreciate this sketch. As soon as she came out and sat down by Seth my heart sunk a little. I love her thoughtful funny commentary but it's so hard always having to be "the voice" "the Jodie Landon" "the mediator" "the translator". And I hated that she was going to have to do that, again. Weary is the word. When she flipped the script and didn't talk, surprisingly I was relieved. The concept of the safe space, taking timeout and not being overwhelmed by it all was wonderful. Because like she said it's not new, it's everyday. Thank you Late Night and Thank you Amber.

[@Meyers1793]

I really appreciate hat Seth and his team can produce a late night show that is both funny and thought provoking. Well done.

[@Figs3]

I come back to this video every now and then. To remind myself, that it's okay if I take some time off. I'm tired of being the strong minority and fighting the good fight all the time. That I'm not a bad person, if I take some time for my mental health. You can still fight, and take a breather. This is not a sprint. This is a marathon.

[@vandayshataylor777]

Figs3 always take time for you’re mental health. You feeling are important and valuable. ❤️❤️

[@adrian-linisteanghel750]

This is real and thank you for your comment. I agree and I don’t even realize sometimes how warn out I get. I’m glad you saw it on a real human level. Brave for you to speak to good mental health practices too. I need to do this more. Thank you for this comment. It’s just a tad easier when I know I’m not the only one out there

[@Figs3]

@@adrian-linisteanghel750 this video is definitely helping these past few weeks.

[@anthonyhewetson5086]

Seth: I think Al Sharpton is a bit much!! Amber: chuckle, chuckle, we all do. That one got me:)

[@ge569]

I love how they always find new ways to get amber on the show, she is great!

[@Seetiyan]

Amber is a precious angel sent from Heaven to make people smile. Also: I cracked up that her loves were chocolate cake and margaritas.

[@frank-gavinmoratalla7942]

I love Amber! I've said it before and I'll say it again… Amber needs her own show!!

[@sarleo1dv]

Frank Gavin Moratalla amber Will Save This show she is already carrying it omg

[@angleeceiasorrentino]

abso-freaking- lutely..I lovvvvve her

[@shawnbaker3245]

She is awesome! But she may be best in small doses. Again I absolutely love her but again small doses.

[@deannadurben1117]

she got one!

[@___zeke___7581]

I’m from the future, she got one

[@Blackineffect]

This skit went over a lot of people's heads, but I thought it was brilliant, if you don't understand it, you might want to examine the state of this country a little bit closer...

[@PhillyFrank1]

Comedy is my way of taking care of myself. Thanks Seth Meyers. And Steven Colbert. And Trevor Noah. And John Oliver.

[@jacquesblaque7728]

What's Sam Bee? Chopped liver?

[@timothyamaraobrien]

PhillyFrank1 Amen, brother.

[@froggydoodle808]

And thanks to all of their writers and researchers, too. More than ever, the bumper sticker "watch Comedy Central for news, watch Fox News for comedy" holds a lot of truth.

[@OhioWeddingOfficiant]

Don't forget Jim Jeffries!

[@JPMJPM]

And Samantha Bee!

[@Lena-fc9ce]

I think some of this is exactly what people needed to hear after a nervewracking few days in the US. Hearing endless thinkpieces about the current state of the country and coverage about how terribly Trump is handling all this can wear you out really fast, and then you just need to hear something positive and funny. Amber and Seth always manage that exceptionally well.

[@nababa333]

This made me so happy and fuzzy inside.

[@happycamper6888]

This made me reaaaaaaally calm and zen and peaceful

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

I can honestly say, I have come back to this video many times over the past few years. It was needed in a way that non-Black people will never understand.

[@nothingobscure]

"And Chris Evans." "That's Chris Pine." hilarious. great video.

[@housevisand]

Why isn’t she making children’s television? She would be the perfect composure, tone, perspective, and delivery to cover real topics in a lighthearted way, be funny, and still get solid results!

[@RandyHawkeye]

I think Amber's show is appropriate for all ages! However, I agree that she would probably knock it out of the park if she were hosting a children-centered show.

[@housevisand]

@@RandyHawkeye - Like imagine if she hosted a new Blue's Clues? Yadigit? She would kill it! Right? Remember Blue's neighbor Magenta? - Million dollar idea right there! Call it Magenta's Fundamentals! [Its a stretch, I know, but u get the idea!] & Miranda was the neighbor at the time, but maybe Miranda went to prison or something, so her roomate or girlfriend? [Amber] is the de facto owner & they get into all sorts of shenanigans together! + Thats 2 topics off the top that Amber could help explain to kids... Prison & LGBTQ+! lol - Blue can still be the neighbor & make all kinds of cameos! Yano? Of course im bein rather tongue in cheek, but yeah... u get the idea! YO! Nickelodeon! or NBC! Or fuckin Netflix! - GET ON IT!!! - Wut u waiting for?!

[@adampkalb]

You betcha! She has the same kind of positive energy I hear all the time from Liliana Mumy in Higglytown Heroes. February 6, 2022, 2:26am

[@WooMaster777]

That was sweet. A nice change of tone from all the chaos in the world. Thanks, Amber and Seth. ☺

[@thunderwalk]

This was actually so sweet and reassuring. Thanks Amber :)

[@robcramer7477]

I love Amber. She is the coolest person out there. She's Strong, stunning and funny. Wish I could give her a big hug.

[@voltairinekropotkin5581]

Instead of mocking or condemning safe spaces, be glad you're not the sort of person who needs them.

[@gregoryeatroff8608]

Amber's SO talented. I look forward to her getting her own show.

[@mixueer]

Amber segments have always been my favourite thing about Late Night. Love her so much and even more now! She just makes me want to hug her. Catspotting is my safe space. Highly recommended.

[@canberkemri636]

This had a really dark and witty sense of humor and I'm living for it!!

[@MrPeapoo]

I love Amber. She's so endearing. I want to see her on my screen like all the time.

[@habbogigi]

Amber is becoming a stand out, she's gonna get her own show asap I'm guessing.

[@rivermishow4678]

Nice prediction!! (: And her new show is hysterical!

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

Amber's a star. Not sure how long Seth can keep hold of her but like Michelle Wolf she is destined for bigger things. Turns out getting the most diverse writing team possible is a great idea like Sly and the family stone and Prince did with their bands

[@weemeemoo]

I can't think straight these days either. This was just what I needed. Much love for Seth and Amber.

[@WonsPhreely]

A great piece! maybe not as laugh out loud, but this is an important change of pace.

[@omarelk194]

Amber is a star.

[@hawk3116]

Amber has one of the most infectious smiles.

[@maryrosekent8223]

I love Amber-she’s so amazing. This segment brims with her humanity and then I started crying knowing that it’s true and I (white woman) never even knew. Thank you, Amber, so very very much.

[@dampaul13]

Not what I expected, but that was amazing. Kudos Amber, Seth and all involved.

[@LuxLisbon26]

Duane and Whitley!!! They would be in my safe space as well.

[@tejaswoman]

❤️❤️❤️ that someone else noticed that one too

[@traceywhitney1272]

I know, right?!

[@lauriejean9306]

This is perfect. Amber Amber all the time we need more Amber!

[@nicolepouchet2479]

That made me cry because it's so true and relevant and I don't live in America ... every person of African descent in the Diaspora hurts when they watch what Americans are doing to its African citizens. Shame on America.

[@AnIdiotsLantern]

The more Amber is in an episode, the happier I am. She's adorable and funny and I thought this skit was hilarious. People dissing "Safe Spaces" need to chill out. You know we all have them. Lighten up.

[@gracefromspace5502]

I'm re-doing my safe space tonight! Thanks Amber--you are going on my wall! Love u

[@tejaswoman]

How much do I love that Amber's safe space has a picture of Dwayne and Whitley? Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much! (More, actually, but I can't get anything done if I just stay here hitting the "i" key.)

[@roberttuckerjr.9687]

Amber you are very funny but you spoke the truth! You are right this is a marathon not a Sprint but it's so very, very tiring. I love people really don't get it how disheartening it can be, how weary it can make you. Thank you and seth for making me laugh when everything else makes me cry and want to give up. Please keep being the people that I look up to. Thank you!

[@traceywhitney1272]

Black tired. Weary. Yep...

God damn this was a good segment. Amber is so good at illustrating and educating with lightness and comedy and relatability. She is absolutely amazing at this job and I am so thankful she has it right now.

[@mlr4524]

My god, she's brilliant. I think her career is about to take off on another whole level. Her Late Night material from the past few years is more relevant than ever.

[@techhelpwizardgenie3146]

That was adorable. They work so well together.

[@brain_apostrophe_t]

"I've watched the wire 5 times and it's the first thing I tell black people!!"

[@OhioWeddingOfficiant]

I never comment on videos... but this was too funny, trenchant and moving to not speak up. Amber, you're brilliant. And Seth, you're the voice that a lot of people desperately need to hear right now. Cheers to you both and the rest of the Late Night gang.

[@plug256]

One of the best! God, why aren't there more shows like this!? Amber is beautiful in all that she plays...And your Southern accents are the best...

[@JaneDoughnut]

One day Amber will get her own show and it will be glorious. Samantha Bee broke the glass ceiling, I hope Amber Ruffin or Jessica Williams break the white ceiling.

[@sweatpantsprincess3239]

I've been avoiding clips and shows to decompress for a while but I clicked on this for Amber.

[@melaniepoulton6738]

This is so on point for today June 2020. The fact Amber was talking about it in 2017-just proves how nothing changes.

[@katsbreez]

So good! So much truth. Teared up a little... not gonna lie.

[@982Munchie]

I don't know why anyone would call this bit 'lame.' Amber brightens up everything. That young lady could make doing her taxes interesting. Deserves her own show.

You know this is *timeless...* when you realize this was from over 4 years ago 🔥🔥🔥

[@robersonclr64]

I feel you Amber.

[@jamalwoods9649]

I'm black and I don't need, or want a safe place, life as a black person can be hard @ times. What I want is respect and the too be treated like a human being. That's what makes me safe.

I don't watch late night TV much, so I'm newly aware of Amber and I love her.

These two are nice people. My mom loves the show.

[@JonBlondell]

Late Night is so look smart to feature Amber! So talented, and cutting edge. Of course, this is the smartest writing of all the late shows, with Colbert running Almost neck and neck. Again of course, Seth Meyers is at the helm, and he's proven himself by his comedy and his choices, in talent and writing. Thank you all, we really need and appreciate what y'all do! Jon Blondell, Austin Tx. An oasis in a sea of red.
