Amy Schumer lands Vogue cover, hilariously swaps lives with Anna Wintour
Vogue turned to comedy to find its latest star.
Amy Schumer is on the cover of the fashion bible's July issue, posing in a luxurious Dolce and Gabbana gown. Annie Leibovitz shot the cover and the accompanying spread, which features the Emmy-winning comedian strutting around Central Park.
In the interview, Schumer discusses her work and desire to "redefine" the comedy game. She also talks about the things that "get" to her.

"Some days there will be a bunch of websites dedicated to trying to get me to just shut my mouth, or I’ll walk into a greenroom and someone had a caricature artist draw me and it’s with a martini glass, looking like a linebacker with Jay Leno’s chin," she says. "That can get to me. I’m not without that vulnerability.”
Vogue also shared an excerpt from her upcoming memoir, The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, where Schumer says she's "only had one one-night stand in [her] life."
"I’m so sorry to disappoint anyone who thinks I walk around at all times with a margarita in one hand and a dildo in the other," she jokes. "Maybe the misunderstanding comes from the fact that, onstage, I group together all my wildest, worst sexual memories—a grand total of about five experiences over the course of 35 years."
She then goes into detail about that single one-night stand, a strapping British man named Sam.
In addition to the cover and excerpt, Schumer and Vogue editor Anna Wintour decided to switch jobs for a day for our viewing pleasure. Can you guess which one flops and which one soars? Watch below and find out.
