Amber Ruffin, Michael Ian Black to Join CNN Comedy-News Series ‘Have I Got News For You’


Amber Ruffin and Michael Ian Black will join CNN's new comedy-news series 'Have I Got News For You'

Weekend viewers might like a break from the intensity of the news week with programs about lifestyle or “have a laugh about something and maybe be able to connect to a personality who wouldn’t necessarily be anchoring a show on CNN or even an original series,” she said. Ruffin first came to notice as a writer and contributor to NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers” — the first Black woman to write for a U.S. late-night broadcast talk program. She hosted her own program on NBC’s Peacock streaming hub and, more recently, penned the revised book for Broadway’s current revival of “The Wiz.”
