It is the final week for Jon Stewart's Daily Show. It is sad that he is leaving but I'm sure it will go out on a high note.
Tonight's guest on The Daily Show is Amy Schumer and the panelists on The Nightly Show are Julie Klausner, Deon Cole, and Rory Albanese.
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.”
It is hard to follow something that emotional and serious with something fun, but we will do it anyway. Tonight's favorite Daily Show clip Is Jon responding to Bernie Goldberg's response to his callout of Fox News. The Fuck You gospel choir!
