Early life

Schumer was born on June 1, 1981 in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York,[1][2] to Sandra (née Jones) and Gordon Schumer, who owned a baby furniture company.[2][3][4] She has a younger sister, Kim Caramele, who is a comedy writer and a producer,[5][6] and a brother, Jason Stein, who is a musician in Chicago, Illinois.[7][8] Her father is second cousin to U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer.[9][10][11] Schumer's father was born Jewish and her mother, who is from a Protestant background, converted to Judaism.[4][12][13] Schumer was raised Jewish and says she experienced antisemitism as a child.[14][15][16]

Through the success of her father's furniture company in Manhattan, Schumer began life in a wealthy family.[17] At age 9, her family went bankrupt, and either then[9] or when she was 12[18] (sources differ), her father was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis; some time afterward, her parents divorced.[9] Moving to Long Island, she attended South Side High School in Rockville Centre, New York, and was voted both "Class Clown" and "Teacher's Worst Nightmare" upon graduation in 1999.[19] She also attended the Hebrew school of the Central Synagogue of Nassau County, a Reform synagogue in Rockville Centre on whose board her mother served.[20][21]

Schumer moved to Baltimore, Maryland, after high school where she attended Towson University, graduating with a degree in theater in 2003.[5][19] She returned to New York City after college, where she studied at the William Esper Studio for two years and worked as a bartender and a waitress.[19]

Career

After graduating with a degree in theater from Towson University in 2003 and moving to New York City, Schumer portrayed a young woman diagnosed with breast cancer in the off-Broadway black comedy Keeping Abreast.[19] She started doing stand-up comedy on June 1, 2004, when she first performed at Gotham Comedy Club.[22] In 2007, she recorded a Live at Gotham episode for Comedy Central before appearing on Last Comic Standing; she later recalled that she thought of the episode as her "big break."[23]

Schumer performing in 2006

Rebounding from an unsuccessful audition for an earlier season,[24] she advanced to the finals of the fifth season of the NBC reality television talent show Last Comic Standing and placed fourth.[22] Schumer said in April 2011, "Last Comic was totally fun. I had a great time because there was no pressure on me; I had been doing stand-up around two years. I wasn't supposed to do well. So every time I advanced it was a happy surprise. I kept it honest on the show and it served me well."[25]

Schumer co-starred in the Comedy Central reality show Reality Bites Back in 2008.[26] In 2009, she appeared in an advertising campaign for Butterfinger.[27] Schumer was a recurring guest on Fox News late-night program Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld between 2007 and 2012. Her first Comedy Central Presents special aired on April 2, 2010. She served as a co-host of A Different Spin with Mark Hoppus in 2011, later titled Hoppus on Music.[25] She has also written for Cosmopolitan.[25]

Schumer did an episode (#154) of WTF with Marc Maron podcast on March 3, 2011, in which she discusses her early life in more detail.[28] Schumer has appeared in roles on the NBC comedy series 30 Rock, the Adult Swim mockumentary series Delocated, and the two HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm and Girls.[29]

She acted in three films in 2012: the independent comedy Price Check, the comedy-drama Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, and the independent comedy Sleepwalk with Me.[30] Schumer also appeared on The Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen in September 2011, and The Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne Barr in August 2012.

Schumer released a standup comedy album, Cutting, in 2011.[31] Her standup comedy special Mostly Sex Stuff premiered on Comedy Central on August 18, 2012, to positive reviews.[32] Schumer said in February 2012, "I don't like the observational stuff. I like tackling the stuff nobody else talks about, like the darkest, most serious thing about yourself. I talk about life and sex and personal stories and stuff everybody can relate to, and some can't."[33]

In June 2012, Schumer began work on a sketch comedy series for Comedy Central. The show features single-camera vignettes of Schumer playing "heightened versions" of herself. The vignettes are linked together with footage of Schumer's stand-up.[34] The show, Inside Amy Schumer, premiered on Comedy Central on April 30, 2013. Inside Amy Schumer was picked up for a second season that began in 2014. A behind-the-scenes miniseries entitled Behind Amy Schumer premiered in 2012. The third season premiered on April 21, 2015, with a fourth season ordered the same day.[35]

In 2014, Schumer embarked on her Back Door Tour to promote the second season of her show.[36] The show featured closing act Bridget Everett, whom Schumer cites as her favorite live performer.[37] She also appeared as a guest on an episode of comedian Jerry Seinfeld's Internet series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee in 2014.[38]

She hosted the 2015 MTV Movie Awards, which took place on April 11.[39] Schumer wrote and played her first leading film role in Trainwreck, co-starring Bill Hader, which was released on July 17, 2015.[40]

In August 2015, Jennifer Lawrence said she and Schumer planned to co-star in a film for which they and Schumer's sister Kim were co-writing a screenplay.[41] Schumer performed as opening act for Madonna on three New York City dates of the singer's Rebel Heart Tour in September 2015.[42]

On October 17, 2015, Schumer's comedy special, entitled Amy Schumer Live at the Apollo, premiered on HBO.[43][44] In 2016, it was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Variety Special, Writing and Directing.[45][46][47]

On June 23, 2016, during her sold out performance at Madison Square Garden, Schumer announced her first world tour starting on August 26 in Dublin.[48]

Schumer is the author of a 2016 memoir entitled The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo.[49] It held the top position on The New York Times Non-Fiction Best Seller list for two weeks in September 2016.[50]

Influences

Schumer's comedic influences include Wendy Liebman,[51] Carol Burnett,[52] Lucille Ball,[52] and Joan Rivers.[53] Additionally, she called actress-producer Goldie Hawn "one of my complete heroes."[53]

In the media

Schumer in 2015

In 2015, Schumer was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people.[54] In 2015, Schumer was also named to Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People list for 2015.[55] Schumer has received praise for addressing various social issues through comedy.[56][57][58][59][60][61] In June 2015, Monica Heisey of The Guardian criticised her for "a shockingly large blind spot around race."[61] Schumer responded on Twitter, stating "I go in and out of playing an irreverent idiot. That includes making dumb jokes involving race... You can call it a 'blind spot for racism' or 'lazy,' but you are wrong. It is a joke ... I am not racist."[62]

Throughout 2015, several of Schumer's skits in Inside Amy Schumer went viral online, sparking think pieces regarding sex, feminism, and rape culture.[63][64][65][66]

After a fatal shooting took place at a showing of Trainwreck in Louisiana, Schumer advocated for stricter gun control laws and increased mental health funding.[67]

On November 30, 2015, The Daily Beast reported that Schumer posed nude for a photo by photographer Annie Leibovitz for 2016 edition of the Pirelli Calendar.[68] Schumer tweeted her photo, writing "Beautiful, gross, strong, thin, fat, pretty, ugly, sexy, disgusting, flawless, woman. Thank you."[69]

In January 2016, Schumer was accused of stealing jokes from comedians Tammy Pescatelli, Kathleen Madigan, Wendy Liebman, and Patrice O'Neal.[70][71] Schumer vehemently denied the allegations.[72][73] Other comedians, such as Marc Maron and Dave Rubin, stood up for Schumer.[74][75] Pescatelli later apologized, stating it had "gone too far," and Liebman stated she believed she and Schumer had engaged in parallel thinking.[76]

Personal life

Schumer has dated professional wrestler Nick Nemeth, better known by his ring name Dolph Ziggler,[77] and comedian Anthony Jeselnik.[78]

In January 2016, Schumer said she was in a relationship with Chicago furniture designer Ben Hanisch.[79]

She has been friends with Taking Back Sunday drummer Mark O'Connell since childhood.[80]

When she was 21, she and her sister Kim were arrested for grand larceny, as part of a shoplifting scheme. During an interview, she said that it was her connection to Senator Schumer that enabled her to plead down the charge.[81]

I've done some material on being Jewish onstage, and I talk about how the kids used to call me "Amy Jewmer." And I really did: even with the parents of my friends, there was a ton of anti-Semitism going on, openly and in front of me. When it went to college, it was the first time I wasn't apologizing for being Jewish, but there's definitely some residual shame that I grew up with because of it. {{cite web}}: Unknown parameter |deadurl= ignored (|url-status= suggested) (help)
