Amy Schumer Signs Deal To Do Her Own Podcast on Spotify for $1 Million

High profile names doing podcasts continue to be a rising tide for the future of podcasts. If you want to think about the value of podcasts at the current moment, a seven-figure deal for talent is comparable to similar deals made routinely for TV, movies, and music.

Schumer will be doing a podcast that covers her takes on the world in regards to pop culture, politics, and stand up comedy. That could easily be the basis for a topical weekly show that Schumer could have hosted, but doing it in podcast form is much less production intensive and allows Schumer time to do plenty of other projects.

We think that this might be a tipping point for those on the fence about listening to podcasts.

amy schumer, i feel pretty, trailer

If you’ve been missing Inside Amy Schumer, the trailer for Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein’s I Feel Pretty seems to promise you the next closest thing to some new sketches Schumer. It stars Amy in what could possibly be a reverse engineered, turned-inside-out, feminist version of Shallow Hal.

Schumer herself gave a bit on a preface to the movie’s trailer release on Ellen here.

On December 12th, a brand new comedy special from Judd Apatow will stream on Netflix. It won’t be some sort of variety TV special. It will be an hour of stand-up special from the writer/director/producer that used to do stand-up several years ago, first coming up with Adam Sandler before heading off to writing gigs at places like The Larry Sanders Show.

As it turns out, the idea of Judd Apatow: The Return as a stand-up special has caused some alarm for comedians who he has personally worked with behind the camera over the years.

See for yourself in this trailer what Chris Gethard, Amy Schumer, Mike Birbiglia, and more have to “say” to Apatow about returning to doing stand-up.

Since it’s International Woman’s Day, we’d like you to take note that Netflix’s releases for stand-up specials for 2017 have included great hours from Jen Kirkman and Cristela Alonzo and, this week, a brand new hour special Amy Schumer.

The aptly titled “The Leather Special” has Amy get as unfiltered as she has ever been all while checking off the box for “wearing a leather outfit for a comedy special”.

International Woman’s Day or not, you should watch all three specials, Just Keep Livin’, Lower Classy, and The Leather Special as soon as you get the chance.

In the grand tradition of doing a stand up comedy special in a leather outfit, Amy Schumer decided to check off that box with her upcoming Netflix special. In fact, she went as far as calling it The Leather Special and does indeed went awesomely old with her outfit. See for yourself in the trailer above.

Amy Schumer’s Latest Special Coming to Netflix on March 7th

It may have happened before this with Netflix for signing on both Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle for comedy specials, but Schumer now having her latest special released through the streaming service giant officially makes getting a Netflix special the new “getting an HBO special”.

Amy Schumer Is First Woman to Make Forbes’ Top 10 Highest Earning Comedians List, Kevin Hart Scores Top Spot

Score two for diversity.

Kevin Hart was far and away the top earning comedian by pulling in $87.5 million and Schumer cracks into what is pretty much exclusively a boys club (no mention of Joan Rivers through the years seems odd) with $17 million.

Also, it’s nice to see Dave Chappelle and Jim Gaffigan on the list as that would suggest that this top 10 list isn’t getting more balanced with comedians that are oft-appreciated for their craft.

Due to addressing incendiary remarks regarding a rape case in the comedy community by Kurt Metzger, an Inside Amy Schumer writer, Amy Schumer mysteriously said that the show wasn’t happening anymore, then had to explain through a series of tweets that season 5 of Inside Amy Schumer is going to happen, but “…not for the next year at least.”

So, we might have to wait until the end of 2017, maybe even 2018 for new episodes of the critically acclaimed, award winning sketch show.

For some reason, this great sketch on Inside Amy Schumer featuring Jon Benjamin as a lawyer who can’t do anything about mass shootings was cut from airing even though gun control is absolutely the hot button issue in the U.S. right now.

All the filibustering, sit-ins, and general demand from an overwhelming majority of Americans for any sort of action on gun control make the sketch so timely that it has now been posted online.

Watch it here.

There are so many reasons to think that we’re living in the future that past generations dreamed of, this presidential election notwithstanding, including going to Mars, self-driving cars, living past 100, and having the Internet instantly available in our pockets.

However, in 2016, there are many sitcoms, often those of the multi cam variety, that are still culturally reductive and, in a manner of speaking, ‘way behind the times’. You’ve probably seen Louie call this out on one episode where they had a cheesy sitcom break the fourth wall.

Well, Inside Amy Schumer upped the ante and went even darker with their satire of sitcoms that should have stayed in the last millennium.

Watch it here.

Jerry Seinfeld, Amy Schumer, Billy Connolly, Garry Shandling, Chris Rock, Sarah Silverman, Kevin Hart, Dave Attell, Frankie Boyle, Omid Djalili, Kirk Fox, Eddie Izzard, Stewart Lee, Paul Provenza, Emo Philips, Bonnie McFarland, Tiffany Haddish, and more offer their take on the artistry and craftsmanship that actually goes into going on stage and doing stand-up comedy in the documentary Dying Laughing.

Directors Lloyd Stanton and Paul Toogood extensively interviewed all of the above and made what might be another documentary that showcases stand-up as being more than just a bunch of clowns rattling off jokes every night.

Watch the teaser here.
