Late Night with Seth Meyers

"Serena's French Open catsuit went too far and I'm like Quoi?" Also, her delivery of the Amber says why? was brilliant and flawless. Give this woman an Emmy for both writing and acting.

Amber is a national treasure! What a treat it was to go from “Amber says what” to “Amber says why”! BRILLIANT!!! Amber deserves an Emmy for this!

[catherinejoystockley]

Amber needs her own show ... and also to NEVER leave Seth’s show ...

[DaniLong]

Asking her to shut up and take it is asking her to be complicit her own abuse and WE DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE.

I've been practicing enunciating that phrase for the last twenty minutes. It's powerful.

[ApolosXV]

wow
"Amber says Why" just brought my life to another level of happiness, thank you so much Amber and Late Night w/ Seth

[ljm]

"I'd be TOO BEAUTIFUL and TOO FAST!" PUT AMBER ON TV SO MUCH MORE. WE DON'T DESERVE HER BUT WE NEED HER.

One of the worst things about the “cat suit” thing was that the “cat suit” had a function: it was SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO PREVENT SERENA FROM HAVING A BLOOD CLOT, WHICH COULD KILL HER. She’s been dealing with blood clots ever since her daughter was born, and they nearly killed her on two separate occasions! By banning her “cat suit”, they could actually kill her by preventing her from wearing clothing that is necessary to keep her safe, all because they want to police her appearance!

[mooremiket]

The final part called Amber Says Why is brilliant. Absolutely marvelous.

[maryinsanfrancisco]

One of the best, maybe even THE best Amber Says What ever!

[joegaylord]

I need a "Goddamn right whoop!" gif.

[debbiedoodiedandi]

Yes! Amber says why is how l feel about everything this pres tweets

[cancerrific]

I must have been very good this week to get 7 minute Amber Says What.

[clubbasher]

The way he looks at her at the end, as an actor I know his eyes are saying "great.fucking job amber!!!!" This made my heart sing I almost cried I love Amber so so so so much.

[squirrelgray]

I GOT THE IDEA!!! Hour long show with Amber, she spends 10 minutes on what, why, where, when, who once a week like John Oliver's show. I don't need any monies for this just hit that thumbs up so she knows to make the show.

[jusgie]

Who are they and why are they that? Who do you think he is? When you look at him what do you see? Something good??😂😂😂😂😂

[somebodysonata]

Amber Says Why is my new favorite. By the time she got to "Are you sure you want what this will do did?" I was crying laughing. I might have to start saying that when my husband is about to make a bad decision.

[petermatthews]

I think we just found Serena William's anger translator. If Obama got to have one maybe other can benefit from the same opportunity?

[ichifish]

What, why, how, who, when, I want ALL the wh words! And Do! and ALL the questions! More Amber!

[TipaMoe]

They need to give this woman her own show now!

[flyfoxicretionz]

Did she just say, "Gotdamn Right woop" and cut to scene like it didn't just happen!😳🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


"What!"🤦🏾‍♀️🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
