Amy Schumer is leaping from comedy to cuisine by testing out a new cooking
series for Food Network.
The Discovery-owned cable network said it will unveil an eight-episode
series with the working title “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook.” The show will
feature Schumer and her husband, professional chef Chris Fischer, in
thirty-minute self-shot episodes that show the pair cooking dishes while
isolated due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Fischer will do most of the cooking using farm fresh ingredients, while
Schumer wil mix cocktails. [Wait, she's not going to be cooking!]
“Amy and Chris will give an unprecedented look at their lives as they are
quarantined in their house,” said Courtney White, president of Food Network,
in a statement. “Shot entirely themselves, Amy’s boundless humor and Chris’
culinary skills show viewers how they navigate life while at home making the
best of these turbulent times with some good laughs and good food.”
“Amy Schumer Learns to Cook” is expected to debut later this spring, and the
network says the duo will try culinary themes such as tacos, pasta night,
fridge cleanup and more.
During the pandemic, Food Network has relied on marathons of favorite series
such as “Chopped,” “Beat Bobby Flay” and “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,”
along with a handful of new premieres. And while Schumer may not be best
known for her kitchen expertise, other Discovery outlets previously owned by
Scripps Networks have long found grist by pairing celebrities with home arts
that may not be their strongest suit. Over the years, HGTV and DIY have sent
Jennie Garth, Rev Run, William Shatner, Mr. T and Vanilla Ice into home-
remodeling projects.
“Chris and I are excited to make this project with Food Network combining
our two passions – for Chris it’s cooking and for me, eating,” said Schumer
in a statement “With everything going on in the world right now, we are so
grateful to be able to share an entertaining and informative experience with
viewers. And it is more important than ever to look out for one another, so
Chris and I will be making donations to causes dear to us – The Coalition of
Immokalee Workers’ Fair Food Program and select domestic violence
organizations.”

Every American should want President Trump and his administration to handle
the coronavirus epidemic effectively and successfully. Those who seem eager
to see the president fail and to call every administration misstep a fiasco
risk letting their partisanship blind them to the demands not only of civic
responsibility but of basic decency.

Trump's Coronavirus Response = Benghazi! (tm) X 50,000.
Donald Trump on COVID-19: "There will be a lot of death,
unfortunately..." 4-4-20
"When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to
be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done...
especially with the fact that we’re going down, not up.” We’re going
very substantially down, not up." (4-7-20: 370,000 confirmed cases and
11,000 deaths.)
Trump: "No, I don't take responsibility at all." - 3/13/20
Trump: "I happen to feel good about it, but who knows. I’ve been right a
lot." - 3/20/20

obviously failed you.
Yeah, November... another 'landslide', no doubt. You might even break even.
