Amy Schumer

Amy Schumer is one of those comedians who made the whole industry a little uncomfortable — and that's exactly why I love her. Growing up on the Upper East Side, she clawed her way up through the stand-up circuit in the early 2000s and turned herself into a full-on cultural force by the mid-2010s. Inside Amy Schumer was genuinely sharp television, sharp enough to win an Emmy and a Peabody, which is a combination not many sketch shows can claim. Trainwreck showed she could carry a movie on her own terms, writing the script herself and making it actually funny. She's never been the comedian for people who want comedy to be polite, and I find that completely refreshing — she says the thing you weren't supposed to say and somehow gets away with it.
