'Heben Nigatu is a writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and the co-host of Buzzfeeds podcast, Another Round.

The Onion A.V. Club describes Nigatu and co-host Tracy Clayton as "funny and insightful hosts, bringing their infectious personalities to conversations that range from squirrels to self-care to microaggressions in the workplace."[1] The Guardian calls them "the smartest, funniest women in the room and everyone wants to sit at their table"[2] and likewise writing for The Guardian, critic Sasha Frere-Jones called Clayton and Nigatu "leading American cultural critics."[3] In its first year, Another Round was rated by iTunes,[4] Slate,[5] Vulture,[6] and The Atlantic[7] as a "Best of 2015" podcast.

In 2016, Nigatu was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.[8] In April 2016, after three and a half years working for Buzzfeed, she announced she was moving to The Late Show, but would continue hosting Another Round.[9]
