Amy Schumer, Far From a Train Wreck

Tribeca Film Festival Live | Apr 19, 2015

Amy Schumer, who stars as a romantic train wreck in the new Judd Apatow film Trainwreck, is at the top of her game in real life. The third season of Inside Amy Schumer premieres April 21st on Comedy Central. The show just won a Peabody Award. And a screening of the new season's first episode at the Tribeca Film Festival showed there's nothing Schumer won't tackle. This season, the show takes on high school football and rape, declares 2015 the Year of the Butt, and Schumer and her staff told a packed audience that one of their favorite upcoming episodes will be a recreation of the film 12 Angry Men.

Hear Schumer talking after the screening, along with the show's head writer Jessi Klein, director Ryan McFaul, writer Kim Caramele, writer Dan Powell, and producer Kevin Kane. Entertainment Weekly's Sara Vilkomerson moderates.
