“As a comedian, actress, writer, director, producer and best-selling author, Amy Schumer is a boundless threat and a one-of-a-kind talent. We couldn’t be more excited that she’s making Netflix her home for her next stand-up comedy special, ” said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer, Netflix.
“Very happy to be a part of the Netflix family for this special, ” added Amy Schumer. “Maybe now they will look at my ‘Stranger Things’ audition tape to play the demogorgon for Season 2.” If you did not get that reference then you do not get Netflix anyway so it doesn’t matter.
