‘Inside Amy Schumer’ not over
Reps for Comedy Central and Schumer did not respond to THR’s multiple requests for comment about the status of the show.
Amy Schumer has confirmed she is no longer making her sketch show Inside Amy Schumer. After blocking numerous more abusive critics, Schumer responded to the situation with a series of messages.
Schumer responded on Wednesday on Twitter, expressing her “disappointment” in Metzger’s comments.
“We aren’t making the show anymore”, Schumer tweeted following a controversy in which she condemned friend and comedian Kurt Metzger over his remarks about sexual assault. “There aren’t any writers for the show”.
Amy Schumer’s four-season run of Inside Amy Schumer on Comedy Central may have come to an abrupt end.
The Kurt in the tweet is comic Kurt Metzger, who since Sunday has been dealing with social-media backlash for his comments regarding alleged sexual assault.
He wrote: ‘Guys I have just heard some disturbing news, this guy Jiff Dilfyberg is a rapist!
Horace and Pete actor Metzger then criticised UCB’s decision in a series of Facebook and Twitter posts.
“Doing Standup and focusing on writing more for the next year at least”.
He suggested that the allegations shouldn’t necessarily be taken seriously just because a woman said it.
“I am so saddened and disappointed in Kurt Metzger”. Margolis says on her LinkedIn page that she works as an English teacher at the International House of NY as a day job.
She said that she was not responsible for his firing because he was not a writer on her show anymore. Please stop asking me about it. “Trainwreck” was a box-office hit, and her recent book The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo has been for the most part getting positive reviews.
But she’s also not going to make season 5 any time in the “foreseeable future”.
