Amy Schumer just earned an impressive number of Emmy nominations for Inside Amy Schumer, but her comedy is actually pretty true to her life, she told Seth Meyers on Thursday's Late Night. "It is pretty much the real me," she said, and that can lead to some pretty embarrassing situations. The ones she recounted involved the fact that she lives by herself, and the standout story involves a dress.
"I live alone, and I'm, like, super lonely," Schumer began, flirting with the audience. The other night, she said, she was trying to zip up a dress — "I've, like, gained weight, and I was, like, kind of lying to myself" — but she was determined so she went down to the street and had to "just wait for somebody that looked like they weren't, like, a monster." The women she found, Schumer said, cheerfully recognized her: "'Amy Schumer,' she said. 'Oh, you really are, like, sad and lonely.'" It got worse when they needed to recruit a second passerby. Hear the whole story — it's funnier when Schumer tells it, of course — in the video below. Peter Weber
