In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter involving Television’s funniest women from the industry including Tracee Ellis Ross, Quinta Brunson, Selena Gomez, Amy Schumer, Bridget Everett, and Molly Shannon, they talked about various topics on the comedy table.

To this, Schumer agreed and shared, “I write them as just like, “Duhhhh.” So, the women are fully thought-out human beings, and the guys I have to …”
That conversation continued while Brunson added how her ‘room‘ being filled with ‘black women’ helps her in making ‘very fleshed-out leads.’ To this, Schumer replied, “I love what you do with Janelle James’ character because it’s just how you’d think a male character would be written, but it’s like, “Hey, we’re dirtbags, too.”
