Pop Culture Thursday: An Oasis in the TV Desert

If Kathy Griffin, Joan Rivers and Amy Poehler had a comedy baby, it would be Amy Schumer.




I would like Amy Schumer to be my best friend. Provided that she is actually making fun of herself (and others) in this video and that she's not actually like this. If she's actually like this, I'll settle for being regular friends. I'm not a masochist.

Anyway, Inside Amy Schumer is my favorite thing on T.V. right now. Granted, there's not a lot of competition right now, but still. Her show makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it. I'd watch it even during the regular TV season.

Besides, I feel a certain feminist pull to support a woman's show on Comedy Central - really, to support women in comedy in general. Not because I don't love (some) men in comedy, but because douchecanoes like Daniel Tosh and Dane Cook have their own shows and specials all the time and women of much greater talent do not.
