WithKinda Pregnantreleased,Amy Schumertook a moment to talk about the project of which she says, “I would do that show for the rest of my life.“Inside Amy Schumer,the sketch comedy series that ran on Comedy Central from 2013 to 2016 andreturned to Paramount+ in 2022, is the series she seems committed to always doing under any circumstance.
Inside Amy Schumerwas the comic’s take on sex, gender, relationships, and more, with sketches, stand-up segments, and interviews. The series won a Peabody award, as well as multiple Emmy nominations and a few wins. The complete series is available to stream onHulu. Does it have a future? Schumer left us with, “I hope it comes back somehow. Who knows? I’m so confused about what’s going on with… the industry.”
What Could We Expect From a Return?
Schumer did provide a small sneak peek at a sketch she’d love to put on the show should it return:
“So many ideas… so many stupid ideas would just come. You know, I had an idea for a scene where I — it was called Fart Park, and Jon Glazer wrote it, and it was just about a fart park. You can go to fart. Like how they have dog parks, but it’s a Fart Park. Yeah, so, you know, highbrow.”
It doesn’t seem altogether different from a lot of the sequences inKinda Pregnant, so in that sense, maybe Schumer’s work will always sort of be a taste of whatever we might see from future seasons ofInside Amy Schumer.
Barbie: Why Amy Schumer Left the Project
Amy Schumer left the lead role in Barbie, which Margot Robbie later accepted, due to creative differences. Here’s what happened.
Kinda Pregnantfeatures Schumer as Lainy, a middle-school teacher in New York who loses her boyfriend right at the same time that her best friend becomes pregnant, sparking an emotional crisis over the direction of her own life. Lainy decides to sport a faux pregnancy bump to ‘see how it feels’ and, as it turns out, it feels great! Lainy goes on to build a series of new relationships precariously balanced upon the delicate lie, including a romance with Josh (Coyote vs Acme’s Will Forte).
As for what’s next for Schumer, while it’s clear she’d love to the sketch series of her past, nobody knows if and when that will happen.Kinda Pregnantis streaming on Netflix through the link below:
