Amy Schumer announced last night that her Comedy Central sketch series Inside Amy Schumer has been picked up for a fourth season. The news comes just before the third season starts and after the show received a prestigious Peabody Award.
Schumer broke the news on The Late Show with David Letterman Monday night.
When Letterman asked if she finds making the show easier, she replied, “No, I find that I’m getting easier.”
Inside Amy Schumer was among the 2014 Peabody entertainment winners. The comedian was cited for her “comic intelligence that’s smart, distinctively female and amiably profane.”
The show will start its third season tonight. During her Q&A session at SXSW, she called it the “season of the ass” and noted that Jerry Seinfeld will be among her guest stars.
Schumer just hosted the MTV Movie Awards and is also soon to become a movie star herself. She wrote and stars in Judd Apatow’s latest film, Trainwreck, which co-stars Bill Hader. The movie hits theaters on July 17.
