NEW YORK – MAY 6, 2020 - During this unusual time, Food Network took an unprecedented approach to bringing a new series to life, turning the cameras and directing over to Amy Schumer and her husband, professional chef Chris Fischer, as they share an intimate and humorous glimpse into their family’s life during quarantine in Amy Schumer Learns to Cook. With Chris’ culinary skills keeping the family nourished and Amy’s signature wit and comedic timing, viewers are in for a fun and impromptu experience, as Amy and Chris attempt to self-shoot a culinary series in the middle of a global pandemic.
Amy Schumer Learns to Cook was self-shot by acclaimed stand-up comedian and Emmy Award®-winning actress Amy Schumer and her husband, James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Fischer, as they quarantined themselves, their son, his nanny Jane, and their dog at home. Premiering Monday, May 11tth at 10pm ET/PT on Food Network with back-to-back half-hour episodes each week, Chris and Amy bring viewers into their kitchen and share what home-life is like, including Jane’s promotion to part-time camera operator when the baby is napping and keeping contact with family and friends in the age of social distancing via video.
“Amy Schumer Learns to Cook is unlike any series Food Network has made, with Amy and Chris giving a front row seat to all the challenges they face while in quarantine. Chris and Amy deliver a show that is intimate and real, with laugh out loud moments as well as moments many watching will be able to relate to. Simply put, Amy and Chris make for great TV,” said Courtney White, President, Food Network.
“Here goes nothing,” said Schumer and Fischer.
