‘Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact’ Sets June Premiere on Netflix (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comSophia Scorziello editor Amy Schumer’s new stand-up special “Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact” will premiere June 13 on Netflix, the streamer announced Wednesday.
The show, which was self-directed by Schumer, marks the comedian’s third special on Netflix following “The Leather Special” in 2017 and “Growing” in 2019. “Emergency Contact” might be a reference to Schumer’s 2022 Saturday Night Live opening monolgue, where she made the joke, “It’s awkward having sex with your spouse.
It is. Because, like, that’s your family. I have Thanksgiving with you. I lay out your sweaters. I can’t go down on you. You’re my emergency contact, for Christ’s sake.” In 2022, the 41-year-old hosted the Netflix special “Amy Schumer Presents: Parental Advisory,” which featured comedians Chris DiStefano and Rachel Feinstein, amongst others.
Schumer’s recent credits include the Hulu series “Life & Beth,” as well as a guest stint as herself on “Only Murders in the Building.” She co-hosted the 2022 Oscars — yes, the year of the slap — and last year brought back her sketch comedy “Inside Amy Schumer” for one more season.
