'Inside Amy Schumer' gun sketch puts grim spin on lawyer TV ads
Her cousin, Sen. Chuck Schumer, may have spent the night supporting his colleagues on the floor of the House, and now Amy Schumer is also doing her part by highlighting the flawed legal system that makes it hard for gun violence victims to receive justice.
In a just-released sketch from an earlier episode of her show, Inside Amy Schumer, comedian Jon Benjamin plays a lawyer who claims he can help people get justice -- as long as they're not victims of gun violence.
"Don’t call me, because there’s nothing I can do," he says, before explaining that he learned this after his brother and former law partner was killed by a stray bullet at a mall shooting.
