Amy Schumer on finding self confidence

[Double Down]

I don't know if this is for everyone, but I thought this was GREAT. I'd like to raise my two girls to be as awesome as Schumer someday.

Fair warning: Story of an amusing, awkward, awful sexual encounter within.

I'm old.

I had no idea who she was. I had to look it up.

 

[The Big Ragu]

It looks like she gave the speech last year.

If you change Matt into Marie, and Amy into Adam, and keep her story on a college campus. ... it becomes a rape story.

One of the best comics working.

One of the best comic shows I've ever seen was Schumer opening for Norton.

I really hope her movie does well. I'd love for her to become even more famous than she already is.

 

[JayFarrar]

I'm not terribly familiar with her work, but I saw the trailer for her upcoming movie and it looks epic.

Her standup is amazing. Both of her specials are in heavy rotation on Comedy Central. Her sketch show is probably the best show Comedy Central has had since Chappelle went nuts.

 

[Moderator1]

Just discovering her work and she's excellent. One of her DVDs is due to arrive tomorrow.

 

[LongTimeListener]

One of the very few comics I ever even notice anymore. She's great.

I wonder what age you'd show that to a daughter.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

There's no age limit on obliviousness.

 

[jr/shotglass]

Like her standup, like her CC show. Loved that speech.

 

[TwoGloves]

Not sure what people are thinking when they say she's fat. I think she's smoking hot. A healthy, funny woman.

 

[Moderator1]

Check out her Entertainment Weekly cover.

Yeah, I agree with you 2G. I think she's spectacular. Real, funny. Someone you'd love to sit around with and waste an evening over a few beers.

 

[93Devil]

There's no age limit on obliviousness.

Or handles.

She lives on the street behind me, about 200 yards max. If I stand on a chair and strain to see through the top corner of my window, I can see a tiny sliver of her back yard. It's my dream to randomly run into her in our neighborhood and nonchalantly invite her to join us for a drink. Not that I'm stalking her or anything #girlcrush

 

[Songbird]

She was on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Interesting dynamic with Jerry.

 

[DanOregon]

That's Peabody-winning Amy Schumer to y'all.

If you pull that off and don't call me, we'll have issues. Serious issues.

She was just on Letterman and was terrific.

Seriously, Gingerbread. Pull this off.

One of her standup specials is being repeated tonight (Tuesday) at 6:57 eastern time on Comedy Central. Set your DVRs. I don't laugh uproariously at her stuff, but I'll watch and listen to her every day of the week because her stuff is so incredibly smart. For my money, she's a great combination of brains and beauty.

 

[JackReacher]

Schumer is awesome. Easily one of the best comics working.

Moddy, are her DVD specials not on Netflix?

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

At least one of her specials are on Netflix.
