Amber Ruffin on the lack of diversity in late-night TV (and, somewhat relatedly, the Oscars).
self-destructed over creative differences, leaving the genre more white and male than before. “I do see late night, you know, changing, and I hope it’s changing for the better. But it’s definitely changing, and that’s it. As it should.”
Why does it need to change? “Look, people aren’t watching it,” she said. “As a Black lady, a lot of TV shows I love disappear as soon as they arrive. So, you know, I think times are tough all over. They can’t afford to let a show find its legs, which makes people less apt to give TV shows to people who aren’t well known.” Ruffin believes studios are placing their faith with people who come with a built-in audience.
