Amy Schumer wants to make a comedy with Kim Kardashian: 'Please let that happen'

Amy Schumer wants to get in on Kim Kardashian's acting era. While promoting her new Netflix film Kinda Pregnant, Schumer told Yahoo Entertainment she "absolutely" wants to do a comedy with the reality star-turned-actress.

"Please let that happen," Schumer said. "I have a little bit of hope that might happen. I got to do a sketch with [Kim] on SNL, and it was so fun."

Kardashian hosted Saturday Night Live in October 2021, and the Trainwreck star appeared in a sketch spoofing The Bachelorette. "It was hard not to laugh," Schumer recalled, saying Kardashian "killed it."

"It's kind of annoying when someone like that [is so funny], and it's not their thing," Schumer joked. "You're like, 'I have been working on this for 20 years, but OK!'"

The two are friends, and Schumer even ran a joke she wrote into the Kinda Pregnant script by the Skims founder, since it pokes fun at her famous family. In the film, Schumer reads a kid a tabloid instead of a bedtime story and says, "There once was a family of beautiful princesses called the Kardashians and they lived in a palace that their dad bought them by defending a murderer." Kardashian approved the line.

In the new Netflix comedy, which Schumer co-wrote with Julie Paiva, the actress plays Lainy, a single woman who is jealous of her best friend's pregnancy, so she wears a fake baby bump. While Lainy loves the attention she's getting for being pregnant, she accidentally meets the man of her dreams. It's Schumer’s first starring role in a film since I Feel Pretty in 2018.

She said she pulled from her real life in "every possible way, with each of the characters."

"I really related to the character Megan, who is just struggling and is annoyed with her husband and trying to deal with [being pregnant]. I identified with Jillian [Bell's character] in like, 'I'm having a good thing happen to me [being pregnant] and I know it might maybe hard, and you might be jealous about it.' I've had that moment," Schumer explained. "I've also been the friend who's like [my character] in the movie, where it's like, 'Everyone's getting pregnant and having babies except for me.'"

The comedian said she tapped into experiences from her own pregnancy, specifically wanting to show "the stuff they don't tell you about."

"Some of the symptoms, the physical symptoms that happen, and the different feelings that you're having,” she said. “The treatment, and also the expectation that your body's a temple and everything should be just for the baby and you're not a person anymore, you're just a carrier."
