I'd cancel the special just off the strength of the disrespect. I'm sure there's a contract. So even assuming she has an argument while comparing herself to comical powerhouses, she signed on the dotted line without researching what she should be paid.

Dave Chapelle & Chris Rock are two of the most important comedians America has had since Eddie. Their reach extends beyond color & gender lines. When is the last time you heard black people say they rock with Amy fukking Schumer? Dave had America eating out the palm of his hand week to week when the show was running. What the fukk has Amy Schumer done that measures up? :hhh::hhh:

Income inequality has become an increasingly discussed topic in Hollywood in recent years, as women and members of minorities stand up for the apparently still-radical idea that they should be paid as much as their white or male co-stars. That disparity (and the outrage it provokes) even extends outside TV and movies, and into the world of stand-up, with a recent Variety post highlighting stand-up comic Amy Schumer’s efforts to get equal compensation for her work from Netflix.

Schumer released a new stand-up special with the streaming service, The Leather Special, earlier this year. But shortly after she signed the deal with the company, stories began to break about the massive, $20 million paydays Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock had both pulled down for booking similar gigs. Schumer—who was reportedly being paid $11 million for her own set—went back to the company, demanding something closer to equal pay for her work. It’s not clear if she got an exactly equal paycheck, but the company did move to bring her pay and the male comics’ in line with each other.

How do you quantify humor? Ticket sales? Ratings?

Can't knock her for asking, that is what you are supposed to do, I would fire the Netflix exec that agreed to herdemands though.
She is a flash in the pan and has done nothing to be paid as much as Chapelle or Rock.

I honestly thought Lamey Schumer was a Jewish comedian I haven't heard about :russ:


On the flip side

Y'all some losers if you wouldn't ask for the same amount of money someone in the same field was. If you say a chance to make some extra money you wouldn't at least enquirer?

Scared money don't make no money. She got a extra couple million out of probably while y'all on getting making these comments for 10 daps.

Keep telling on yourself.

Keep trying to equate this situation to regular people working an hourly/set wage. Act like walking into your supervisor's office and demanding that you be paid the same as an employee with 2x as much experience & 20x revenue returns is going to end with you getting what you asked for.

False equivalency is a motherfukker. :Ugh5150:
