David Remnick Speaks with Amy Schumer

The comedian Amy Schumer began her career playing a character she describes as a deranged, rich party girl. With three seasons of her Peabody Award-winning series Inside Amy Schumer now complete, Schumer has since shifted to a more deliberate agenda, one that’s earned her the favor of politicians like Hillary Clinton and her distant relative, New York Senator Charles Schumer. The New Yorker’s editor David Remnick spoke with Schumer about her evolution as a comic and feminist spokesperson, and how she’s reconciled her desire for laughs with a changing climate of political correctness.
