Amy Schumer says she’s been called the “girl next door, fastest-rising comic” for ten years. But it’s more true than it’s ever been, given three high profile successes in 2015: her increasingly hilarious and transgressive Comedy Central television show “Inside Amy Schumer;” the feature film “Trainwreck” (written by Schumer); and a new HBO comedy special filmed at the Apollo Theater. She talks to host Alec Baldwin about growing up on Long Island, playing the worst person ever, and the Pilates class they shared a decade ago.
