Amy Schumer Plans to “Burn Some Bridges” While Hosting the 2022 Oscars

In addition to starring in Life & Beth, Amy also wrote, directed and executive produced it. As a result, a lot of the show—about “50 percent,” according to Amy—is based on her own life. Still, she hopes people will relate to it, “hopefully a little more than they relate to Euphoria.”

One aspect that was particularly important for her to portray in a relatable light? “The sex in a relationship you’ve been in for a long time,” Amy said. “Because the way they represent sex in movies, it’s like slamming against the wall, and that just rarely happens. Maybe once or twice in your life. Especially when you’ve been together for a long time.”

That, and once you have children, she added. Recalling a particularly hilarious instance with her husband Chris Fischer, Amy said, “One time I asked Chris and he kinda made a face like he was picturing it, and I was like, ‘What is that face?!’ If you’re married, the best day to have sex—the best weekday—is always tomorrow.”
