Jenelle Riley Deputy Awards and Features Editor Jenny Hagel is “obsessed” with giving people advice – whether people ask or not. “I’m sure it’s everybody’s least favorite thing about me, but I can’t stop,” she admits. “It’s like a facial tic, except in my personality.” While this could be annoying in the hands of a lesser talent, Hagel happens to be a gifted comedian and writer with a talent for showmanship.

Because Ruffin is Black and Hagel is gay, they appear every so often to recite punchlines that are off-limits to the host. Hagel also served as head writer on “The Amber Ruffin Show,” where she frequently appeared as various characters – including Marjorie Taylor Greene taunting the host through a slot in a door, a performance Pajiba compared to the likes of Pennywise the Clown.

Prior to the start of the show, Hagel sets out three buckets for people to submit questions to labelled “financial advice,” “career advice” and “love advice.” The shows kicks off with Hagel and a special guest (Jan. 27 features “The Daily Show” correspondent Desi Lydic) will pull questions at random and do their best to offer genuine feedback with a humorous slant. But don’t worry, Hagel knows she’s not a professional – for the show’s final act, she brings a real therapist on stage to give their perspective.
