Jon's final show was great and I look forward to seeing what Trevor Noah will do. His first show will be Sep. 28 which is not too far away.
Tonight's Daily Show is a repeat of the August 3, 2015 show with guest Amy Schumer. The panelists on The Nightly Show are Chris Gethard, Yamaneika Saunders, and Mike Yard.
Amy Schumer
is stand-up comedian, writer, actress, and producer. She is the star of the sketch comedy series Inside Amy Schumer, which has been airing on Comedy Central since 2013.
She placed fourth on the fifth season of NBC's Last Comic Standing and placed second on Comedy Central's Reality Bites Back. In 2012, she held a recurring role on the Adult Swim series Delocated. Schumer's first lead role in a film was 2015's Trainwreck, which she also wrote.
Having thought that monogamy was never possible, a commitment-phobic career woman may have to face her fears when she meets a good guy.
While they may discuss the movie, Amy Schumer has a very serious topic to discuss, gun control and mental illness.
Comedian and actress Amy Schumer joined her cousin, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, on Monday to make an emotional call for more intensive background checks and increased government funding for mental health care to combat mass shootings.Amy Schumer Calls for Action on Gun Control After Trainwreck Shooting“Unless something is done and done soon, dangerous people will continue to get their hands on guns,” the Trainwreck star said, several days after a gunman—whose name she refused to say—killed two people and injured nine others when he opened fire during a screening of the romantic comedy.
“We need a background check system without holes and fatal flaws,” she said. “We need one with accurate information that protects us like a firewall. The critics scoff and say, ‘Well, there’s no way to stop crazy people from doing crazy things,’ but they’re wrong. There is a way to stop them. Preventing dangerous people from getting guns is very possible. We have common-sense solutions. We can toughen background checks and stop the sale of firearms to folks who have a violent history or history of mental illness.”
