In addition to featuring writer Amber Ruffin in a short segment recapping some of her experiences with racist police, Seth Meyers had a chat with Saturday Night Live co–head writer Michael Che during last night’s Late Night to reflect on the killing of George Floyd, the resulting protests around the country, and the Black Lives Matter movement.
