Amy Schumer to star in a quarantine Food Network cooking show

Variety

Amy Schumer Learns to Cook, which is expected to premiere later this spring, will feature the comedian and her husband, professional chef Chris Fischer, in half-hour episodes they'll shoot themselves that show them cooking dishes while in isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic. Actually, Fischer will do most of the cooking while Schumer mixes the cocktails. “Chris and I are excited to make this project with Food Network combining our two passions – for Chris it’s cooking and for me, eating,” Schumer said in a statement “With everything going on in the world right now, we are so grateful to be able to share an entertaining and informative experience with viewers. And it is more important than ever to look out for one another, so Chris and I will be making donations to causes dear to us – The Coalition of Immokalee Workers’ Fair Food Program and select domestic violence organizations.”
