Hi everyone, this is Kate Snow, so happy to share a great conversation I had with comedian

Amber Ruffin over a margarita for my series The Drink.

It's always about how people got to the top of their field.

Amber tells me how she went from doing local theater in Omaha, Nebraska to getting her

own late night show on Peacock called the Amber Ruffin show.

We talked also about how she's written for Broadway successfully and wait until you hear

how a special word of encouragement from someone really kept her going and got her on track.

You can hear a lot more stories of success from top artists, entrepreneurs and visionaries.

You can find it all at mbcnews.com slash The Drink.

People love to ask when did you know you were going to do late night?

And the answer was never, I never thought that I was ever going to do any late night.

Amber Ruffin, what's your drink?

Do you know it's a margarita?

I can't help it.

You love margaritas with salt.

You drink them on your show.

And now, you and Amber Ruffin!

I like that.

Try it.

You're going to like it.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
