Thank The Internet Gods That Amber Ruffin Will Host The 2018 Webby Awards

We are extending all of our clappy-hand and kissy-heart emoji towards Second City alumna and all-around superstar Amber Ruffin, who was just announced as the host of 2018's highest honor for the internet, The Webby Awards:

Not only has Amber been killing it on the comedy scene for years, she’s also a trailblazer. She became the first black woman to write for a late-night talk show in the United States when she joined Late Night with Seth Meyers—where she’s known for her hilarious “Amber Says What” sketches, and much more.

Amber also writes on Comedy Central’s Detroiters and is a regular narrator on Drunk History. (And tell your musical theater friends: She’s working on a new version of the Broadway show The Wiz, premiering this summer at The MUNY in St. Louis.)

Read the rest of the full announcement here, and watch some of Amber's best moments, including her monologue from February's Writers Guild Awards.
