'Inside Amy Schumer' is Much Better Than Any Awful Pun I Can Make Here

Inside Amy Schumer premieres tonight at 10:30 p.m. eastern on Comedy Central. Gander at your local cable box's listings to confirm this. The first episode is available on Comedy Central's official website now.

Comedy Central has been riding a hot streak lately, and it more than continues with Inside Amy Schumer.

Fun Thing to Buy of the Day: 'Amy Schumer – Mostly Sex Stuff'

Amy Schumer’s one hour Comedy Central special Amy Schumer: Mostly Sex Stuff is available on DVD starting today. The show, recorded at the Historic Fillmore Theater in San Francisco, features the kind raunch and humor you may have come to know from watching Schumer roast Charlie Sheen and Roseanne. What an excellent way to catch up with Schumer’s stand up before her show Inside Amy Schumer debuts on Comedy Central at the end of April!

Some Samples Before Next Weekend's Roast

Roast of Roseanne Get More: Comedy Central,Funny Videos,Funny TV Shows

Those are some good zings. There is one Ross zing, however, that Comedy Central announced it won't air: “Seth [Green], congratulations. This is actually a great night for you. You haven’t gotten this much attention since you shot all those people in Aurora. I’m kidding, you are not like James Holmes. At least he did something in a movie theater that people remember.” Alas, as the previews below suggest, there will be enough off-color and/or mean jokes to [...]

'Esquire' Got Comedians to Pick the Best New Comedians

Esquire brought Aziz Ansari, Jim Gaffigan, Chris Hardwick, Amy Schumer, Andy Kindler, and Seth Herzog in to name their favorite new comedians. The level of newness varied but it's hard to argue with the choices, which included: Chelsea Peretti, Kyle Kinane, Moshe Kasher, Ron Funches, Tig Notaro, James Adomian, Rory Scovel, and John Mulaney.

Maron, Hodgman, Schaal, Birbiglia, Schumer Top SXSW Comedy Lineup

The SXSW comedy lineup is here, and incidentally, it's almost exactly the same as the invitation list for my dream wedding! (It's only missing Jughead from Archie Comics and Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn's characters from Wedding Crashers, because what's a dream wedding without crashers?) In addition to standup and improv galore, the schedule features live episodes of WTF, Comedy Bang Bang, Doug Loves Movies, You Made It Weird, and The Chris Gethard Show. As for the comedians themselves, there are almost too many great comics to name (for a start: Marc Maron, John Hodgman, Kristen Schaal, Mike Birbiglia, Amy Schumer, Eugene Mirman, TJ Miller, Reggie Watts, Kumail Nanjiani), [...]

Check Out Two Sketches from Amy Schumer's New Comedy Central Show

Amy Schumer's new Comedy Central show Inside Amy Schumer is set to debut on April 30th, and Comedy Central has released these two sketches in advance of the show's premiere. Inside Amy Schumer is a mix of sketch, stand-up, and man on the street segments, and it also features Jon Glaser in tight-fitting outfits.

Hit the jump for the other sketch:

Comedy Central Names Its Final Roseanne Roasters; Gives One Roaster an Hour Special

Comedy Central has added to the list of  Roseanne roasters they released earlier this week. Are you ready? First, Gilbert Gottfried: OK, that checks out. Second, Ellen Barkin: Weird but probably a friend of Roseanne's. And your final roaster is… Wayne Brady. [Noise of a record scratching to a stop] Umm, ok, so…ummm. Man, I hope he's going to go with the whole playing against type angle and not singing a parody of the Roseanne theme song with silly lyrics. One person not likely to sing in a silly manner is Amy Schumer. Schumer has a reputation to uphold because less than a week after the roast airs, [...]

Comedy Central Orders Series from Anthony Jeselnik, Amy Schumer and Ben Hoffman for 2013

Comedy Central announced today they picked up three new series to air in 2013. The Ben Show, is a weekly show in which Ben Hoffman embarks on a different life journey. He'll form bands, find religion, audition for a reality show (you know, famous people stuff). Next is a still untilted sketch show from Amy Schumer, in which a series of vignettes are built around her stand-up material. Lastly, there's Anthony Jeselnik's untitled weekly show that is described as a "topical series reflecting his dark and twisted point-of-view." That is vague, so my guess is that each week he picks some celebrity who died and makes fun of [...]

Things I Want to Do to Comedy Central's Amazing Development Slate

Comedy Central is developing shows from Rob Delaney, Eugene Mirman, Amy Schumer, Anthony Jeselnik, Kumail Nanjiani, Wyatt Cenac, and more (full list below). Here are some things I would do to this development slate:

- Slowly chew it up and swallow it and have all these comedians in my stomach making hilarious jokes to the layers of mucous cells lining it as pepsin gradually breaks them down until they are a part of me.

- Paint a series of nude portraits of each show's star and then sneak into the White House and Buckingham Palace and replace all the pictures of presidents and kings with the paintings.

Check Out a Preview for Amy Schumer's Comedy Central Show

Here's Kyle Kinane's voice introing a preview for Amy Schumer's new Comedy Central show, Inside Amy Schumer, which premieres Tuesday, April 30th, at 10:30. The show is a blend of sketch, stand-up, and man-on-the-street segments, and it looks pretty ribald.

The Pre-Show Rituals of Comedians Just Before They Go On Stage

This content series is produced in partnership with smartwater. smartwater, good taste travels well. click here to learn more.

Performing on stage can be a daunting experience for even the most accomplished standup. While stage fright is something one gets better at facing with experience, there’s still a lot to be nervous about as something can always go wrong. While some comedians scoff at the idea of a pre-show ritual altogether, others swear by their routines.

Take Louis C.K., arguably the top standup in the country right now. When asked what he does before a show via Reddit earlier this year, C.K. brushed the question off with [...]

Here Are Your Roseanne Roasters

As is the case with their roasts, Comedy Central has assembled a rag tag group of comedians, celebrities, and "celebrities" to roast Roseanne. The list includes Sharon Stone, Carrie Fisher, Katey Sagal and Seth Green (expect Green Party jokes) because I assume they are friends with Roseanne or something. Stone will likely fill the role of crazy person, which has long been a fixture of the roasts. In terms of pros, Jeffrey Ross, Amy Schumer, and Anthony Jeselnik will be there to actually make the thing watchable. The roast shoots this Saturday and will air on August 12. More names will be added in the coming days; hopefully, [...]
