“We are thrilled to get the chance to bring you more episodes, because each episode is a new opportunity to have another margarita,” Ruffin said.
Per Peacock, Ruffin’s series “showcases Amber’s signature smart and silly take on the week’s news. No matter what’s happening in the world, Amber responds to it with a charming mix of seriousness, nonsense, and evening gowns.”
