Amy Schumer - “Inside Amy Schumer” - The Daily Show.mp4

Amy Schumer, Trevor Noah, welcome to The Daily Show. Thank you. I'm gonna miss you. Don't leave. What what what do you mean? I mean, but you make it you make it sound like I'm like I'm dying. I'll see you in comedy clubs I'll see you you're on tour. You're doing other things. I know but I don't want to see you in person I want to see you on TV Where you belong It's good to see you back where you belong inside Amy Schumer we have waited such a long time It was critically acclaimed. What are you in like three Emmy Awards right nominated multiple times. You've been up there accepting It was huge And then you disappeared you became a movie star and then you worked on a New York Times best-selling book And then it was just like Amy's gone and then it's like no Amy's back now. You're still doing everything else Yeah, like why did you make us wait this long? Well, first of all, I'm so sorry about that. I You know like, you know, it's something in the media, but especially a woman people get annoyed when they see you too much So you have to kind of disappear a little bit And then you like pop out like a groundhog, you know, just like I'm still here, you know But then it's just you know, you just want to burn women to the stake, you know But I mean really it's just it's which makes me want to give a shout out to the Iranian women right now When you when you look at a situation like what's happening in Iran and you think of Some of the positions that you've taken like let's say in stand-up where where you've gone, you know Amy should shut up about this Amy shouldn't talk about that Oh, you know the politics is not your place to shut up and be funny. Actually, you're not even funny Yeah it's it feels like and I'm not I'm not even comparing the two words by the way, but it feels like there is a certain level of There's a camaraderie around the world right now where women are saying we experience many instances of men policing us and how we do or dress or say or perform and In this in creating your show. Yeah, do you think of that first? Is that like what's on the top of your mind or do you just naturally go into that as Amy because everything you do is So scathing and insightful. Thank you tell my husband that I Love a little respect at home, but It's announced but no I You know I don't even I think I was one of those people who was like didn't identify as a feminist like didn't know what it meant that it just meant equality and It but it's always just been in me And so the show like some journalist one time said it was like sneaking shaved carrots in with the brownies Which you know, it's like this show too It's you know, it's like people don't want to feel like they're learning something But if you can make people laugh and and have a point and that's that's the only way I want to learn anything You know, I like learning things. Yeah, you you do that in in the show You also you've also shared a part of your life that has been particularly interesting I found you know, there used to be a period where Amy Schumer was all jokes all facade and then something changed You you started sharing the ups and downs, you know, you talked about Plastic surgery and your journey you talked about childbirth. You talked about being a mother and Where everyone thought it would only land in a punchline This started, you know, this started being a lot more vulnerability I'd love to know why you chose that because it feels like you're just opening yourself up and people luckily Loved what you did, but why would you choose to do that? I think it came from Not being raised well No, I mean, you know, but you know what I mean? Like I like you're supposed to have healthy boundaries and I just never developed those so, I mean I'm joking but I'm also serious with I I Feel better when I share things about myself when I admit to the most horrible thing like I've been listening this podcast It's like secrets or something. It's really like you feel sick listening to it but it's uh, you just you feel a weight lifted and then I just I found that When I was honest about my struggles and the things I was battling with that I was ashamed of People were expressing like me too. And and that made me feel so much better. And so That that that makes me feel like it's worth Worth opening my mouth, you know that I used to make people laugh and feel better and and and to be authentic You know, I think people can tell it's it's a challenge though It is because on there's this authenticity, but there's also you still performing and so you always trying to find that balance Do your friends or family ever say Amy? That's that's a little too much I've learned to ask people if they don't want jokes about them and that it's not worth it to burn any bridges with your friends And family, what do you what do you think you're gonna do like with kids? Are you you know, because I mean a lot of comedians think their kids are really funny. Yeah, and they are yeah You have to admit they are but then now, you know, some kids might go I don't like that. You told that joke about me. Oh Yeah, I don't plan on I really I already You know, like I don't think I'm becoming a better parent, but I think I'm just getting used to failing You know, like you just fail so hard all the time and you know what? I named my son. No Okay First name Jean because that was my husband's mother's name and then His last name my husband's last name is Fisher. Okay, which is why I Amy won't take it I don't know if you know who Amy Fisher was You might have missed that but it's not who you want to share a Google Alert with and And then I wanted to pay tribute to David tell my favorite media my good friend. So I made his middle name Mattel I named him genital Fisher That was please make eye contact with me genital Fisher, okay. Yeah, and so I but I don't want to joke about him. I I don't I try not to post pictures of him I don't want to say anything that that that like, you know You could just change the name.
