"The idea that anyone would get a car for Christmas is really cause for class war" is the most accurate statement ever made

[TORULEZ]

The duo we didn't know we needed 😮😂 Hoping we see this pairing more.

[MinnieandMickeyandSnips]

Me, who was in the audience: THEY LEFT IN THE CRACKERS BIT! Seriously, Amber and John need to host everything together, all the time. This is pure serotonin and happiness

[remylewis]

Amber’s absolute cackle when John deadpanned the “it’s ok for us to say” about crackers took me out 😂

[edyak]

Nice to see Mr Oliver still exudes that quintessential awkwardness when being praised. Also, he ain’t effing wrong about The Amber Ruffin Show.

Amber Ruffin and John Oliver present “The Most Sarcastic, Heartwarming Christmas Ever” seriously i want a full length movie you two

[andrewbroderick]

Amber Ruffin has a smile that makes other people smile.

She made *John Oliver* smile, and sure you could still see the aged grief behind his eyes, but above that grief was undoubtedly a smile


Edit: John Oliver is great too, I just assumed this was his preferred method of complement.

[jenraffiasco]

Two of my favorite people telling each other they are both amazing. Yes! You both are a gift to the world.

[AnalogueKid]

I would watch a three hour long movie with these two

[ROYO]

It's a xmas miracle! We need regular uncensored crossovers from these two.

[Geekus]

Dang, they are absolute naturals, I feel like John is almost clicking better with Amber than with even Colbert. Add my praise to the stack, let’s have a co-hosted show between Amber Ruffin and John Oliver!

[zbeebs]

I always thought John Oliver and Stephen Colbert were the perfect late night pair, but now I'm seriously reconsidering that assessment.

[RobertJohnson-bjlk]

0:30 - I love how Amber Ruffin ultimately takes her boss Seth Meyers and totally throws him under the bus with this compliment to John Oliver.

[JJ-jwyc]

I’m british so i’ve never heard of this woman before and I was here for John Oliver. But she seems like a great host. Doesn’t interrupt constantly like a lot of talk show hosts, but still has a conversation. And she seems very happy and engaged.

[ajzekind]

I’d love to see a video of Amber trying various “British Foods”. The looks on Amber and John’s faces would be glorious!

[rozelynjenkins]

The French versus the Royals. Tears were running down my face. How can you honestly pick one to live??? So freaking funny

[rpavlik]

"yours don't count, they're in pounds" 🤣

[chrislebco]

The world needs more of this duo being sarcastic about everything ... Please 🙏

[JoJo_the_O]

I love this so much, John Oliver is a global treasure and Amber’s charisma and realness is refreshing. Their chemistry together made my night. 😂

[Bondockable]

These two need to host the Emmys, the Oscars, the golden globes, uhhh what else is there? uhhhh, MTV music award, Nickelodeon awards, for like the next 20 years.
