Video Of The Day: Amber Ruffin Claps Back After Being Fired From White House Correspondents’ Dinner
Amber Ruffin appeared in a ‘Late Night’ bit to say she’s learned her lesson. *wink*
Amber Ruffin may not be headlining the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, but that’s not stopping her from roasting the current administration. The comedian and writer, known for her unapologetic takes, appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers to skewer the decision to drop her from the event.
With a playful yet pointed takedown of the WHCA’s reasoning, Ruffin made it clear that she isn’t backing down from calling out hypocrisy—especially when it comes wrapped in polite, bipartisan packaging.

Ultimately, Ruffin reasons that it’s likely for the best that she won’t be speaking at the event. “When people take away your rights,” she said, “erase your history, and deport your friends, you’re supposed to call it out. Glad to find that out now, because if they had let me give that speech — oooooh, baby! I would’ve been so terrifically mean.”
