Just before Amber Ruffin got her current gig on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” she performed an ill-fated audition for “Saturday Night Live.” On Sunday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” a caller asked Ruffin to explain what went wrong.
“How did I mess up getting into SNL? Uh, I wasn’t good enough?” Ruffin joked with Andy Cohen and fellow guest Ja Rule in a clip of the episode, which you can watch above.
“No, I did great. I was up against people who, in the time since our audition, have become legends. And I’m lucky that they’re all my lil’ buddies now.”
