    As you all know, Amber hosts her own show. And she’s also a writer for the show, “Late Night with Seth Meyers.” And then recently, she thought to herself, “I’m not busy enough!” So, she wrote a book with her big sister Lacey, and it’s called, “You’ll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey: Crazy Stories About Racism.” Lacey lives in Omaha, Nebraska, where they both grew up, and people are always saying very crazy racist things to her. So, they wrote them all down, and put them in this book. And guess what? Lacey is here in the studio tonight to talk about it!
    Show Synopsis: Amber showcases her signature smart-and-silly take on the news of the week, responding to it all with a charming, late-night mix of seriousness, nonsense and evening gowns.

    My big sister and I sound exactly the same when we talk and so do they. Same inflections, same laugh, same cadence, and I love it.
