Brad Pitt delivers the global warming forecast for the debut of The Jim Jefferies Show

Brad Pitt delivers the global warming forecast for the debut of The Jim Jefferies Show

I’m a big fan of Amber Ruffin’s on-air contributions to NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, but this bit takes the cake and eats it, too. Meyers hosted a segment called “Point, Counterpoint” in which two of his writers, Ruffin and Ally Hord, would debate the merits of the new Wonder Woman movie. All goes fine and funny enough until a mishap makes them first break into cackling laughter, then break out of character to discuss the situation. As Late Night producer Mike Shoemaker described it via Twitter: Tonight @ambermruffin @hordie & @sethmeyers were doing a bit and Amber...
