Inside Amy Schumer Season 5 Might Be on Hiatus for Awhile

August 18, 2016

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.

Amy Schumer Does a Dark Satire of Multi Cam Sitcoms That Somehow Still Exist in 2016

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.

Even in 2016, many issues regarding the health of women are still largely being decided by male politicians who are far from being experts on women’s bodies.

This latest season of Inside Amy Schumer decided to juxtapose an OB/GYN visit with that reality in order to show how unbelievably ridiculous that is.

Per usual, they nail the absurdity of the matter on the head and keep driving it further and further.

Guess Comedy Central heard how much the world loved Amy Schumer, Abbi Jacobson, and Ilana Glazer.

As Comedy Central is in a current golden age with the likes of Nathan For You, Review, and Drunk History in addition to Inside Amy Schumer and Broad City, it just stands to reason that they would keep that going.

So, Broad City got picked up for two more seasons, which would bring Abbi and Ilana’s misadventures in the Big Apple to seasons 4 and 5 and got a mini series called Time Traveling Bong written by their writers Lucia Aniello and Paul W. Downs.

Comedy Central also announce that Inside Amy Schumer got its fifth season today and we can only imagine that Schumer is going to build off of the milestone year that she had in 2015 with her groundbreaking series.

Inside Amy Schumer received more than a few Primetime Emmy nominations yesterday. Amy Schumer got to mark the achievement, which comes in a concentrated period of her career chock full of achievements, milestones, and accolades for Amy, when appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

The great thing is that she’s pretty much the same Amy that America has come to love and applaud over the last year or so.

When she seems like some of the character she portrays…

…or trying to do bits at the Time 100 Gala…

…or hanging with her longtime friends at the premiere of her movie, Amy is quickly becoming an American sweetheart for 2015.

Also, we’ll say it once more: Go watch Trainwreck. It’s great.

“Inside Amy Schumer” Writer Kurt Metzger Interviews Amy Schumer and Vanessa Bayer For “Trainwreck”

More junket interviews should be like this.

At least one of the press junket interviews for Trainwreck has been conducted by someone who isn’t asking the same dull non-interesting questions that comprise most press junket interviews while also being funny.

Kurt Metzger, who writes on Inside Amy Schumer, got to conduct a “completely serious” interview with his boss Amy Schumer and her Trainwreck co-star Vanessa Bayer.

Like we said above, press folks should take a few cues to have more fun at junkets.

Watch it here, then be sure to watch Trainwreck (we saw it and it was great) this Fri. at a theater near you.

As celebrities seemingly live in higher level of the atmosphere than us regular folk, their expectations to smile are more demanding and much different than ours.

When posing for the red carpet, smiling takes on a whole new form of nitpicking.

Amy Schumer is continuing to excellently back her Peabody win.

In the latest round of Amy Schumer’s rounds on TV, she got Bill Nye The Science Guy to get frustrated about how most people casually think about the universe as well as satirize the silent majority that somehow, almost inexplicably, still attends Bill Cosby shows all on Inside Amy Schumer.

On top of all of that, she was one of a few comedians that put the Bachelorette contestants through the ringer on the latest date.

All in all, it seems like a routine week in the year of Amy Schumer.

Amy Schumer Deftly Satirized Late Night Talk Show Interviews of Women

As you saw with Tina Fey and the last fancy dress she’ll ever wear on Letterman, many women that make an appearance on a late night talk show go through a bunch of hoops, specifically in regards to their looks and what they’re wearing, in order to promote their movie, tv show, etc.

Inside Amy Schumer’s latest sketch summarizes the phenomenon with a little NSFW exaggeration pretty well.

Also, seeing Bill Hader as late night talk show host caricature is pretty great too.

The 90s remake of 12 Angry Men should have been exactly like this.

Amy Schumer and company continue to back up their Peabody win with this sketch that breaks down Hollywood’s ridiculous expectations of leading ladies in the framework of the classic film 12 Angry Men, which originally had a jury arguing over a murder case.

Jeff Goldblum, Paul Giamatti, Chris Gethard, Kumail Nanjiani, Dennis Quaid, Nick Di Paolo, Henry Zebrowski, and more make a fantastic cast as well.

Good call on the season 4 renewal, Comedy Central.

Season 3 of Inside Amy Schumer premiered last night and is in as great a form as it’s ever been.

The parody of Friday Night Lights that also serves as a subtle PSA about rape in football and Tina Fey, Patricia Arquette, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus meeting in honor of a Last F’able Day will show exactly what we’re talking about.

Amy Schumer may be calling 2015 the year of the ass, but it’s turning out to be more of her year.

While Inside Amy Schumer is gearing up for the premiere of its 3rd season tonight following a Peabody Award win, the news broke right before Amy’s appearance on Letterman that Comedy Central was ordering a 4th season of the show.

Of course, she broke the news during her chat with Dave.

So, while you’ll have to tune in at 10:30PM tonight on Comedy Central for the season premiere, this 3rd season is probably off to the best start that it could possibly have.
