Amy Schumer says
the show goes on
Breathe a sigh of relief: “Inside Amy Schumer” is not canceled. Amy Schumer sent Twitter and the media into a tailspin when she seemed to indicate her Comedy Central series no longer existed while reacting to the uproar about writer Kurt Metzger and his comments about sexual assault.
“I didn't fire Kurt. He isn't a writer for my show because we aren't making the show anymore. There are no writers for it,” Schumer tweeted Wednesday. Schumer also re-tweeted a fan who said they'd miss the series.
She set the record straight Thursday in a series of tweets. “#InsideAmySchumer is not cancelled. @ComedyCentral has provided us with a wonderful home and we couldn't be happier there. I am just touring,” she said in one. “Doing stand-up and focusing on writing more for the next year at least. We are slated for a season 5 but not in the foreseeable future,” she said in another.
Request for comment from Comedy Central was not returned. The network previously announced it renewed “Inside Amy Schumer” for a fifth season. Season 4 wrapped up in June. Schumer is on tour in Europe, the United Kingdom, North America and Australia and New Zealand until December.
