Following their great roundtable discussion with some of comedy’s most prominent women, The Hollywood Reporter sat down and did the male counterpart in this panel discussion series about the ins-and-outs of comedy as well as doing great/bad impressions.
Amongst those at THR’s table are Fred Armisen…
…and Don Cheadle.
Women in comedy are definitely having a moment right now unlike they’ve had in decades past.
Not only are Tina Fey and Amy Poehler comedy power brokers, but there are more female producers, writers, and directors making female led comedy series and movies.
That being said, there is still a lot of stereotypes and prejudice that needs to be fought against. So, The Hollywood Reporter had a frank roundtable discussion with Amy Schumer, Ellie Kemper, Tracee Ellis Ross, Gina Rodriguez, Lena Dunham, and Kate McKinnon about carving out their niche in comedy.
You might just be surprised the sort of nonsense regarding women on screen that still exists in 2015 as well be proud of what the folks in this discussion have accomplished when you watch this…

…or this…
…or this…
…and this.
