Amy Schumer's new stand-up special "Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact" will premiere June 13 on Netflix, the streamer announced Wednesday. The show, which was self-directed by Schumer, marks the comedian's third special on Netflix after "The Leather Special" in 2017 and "Growing" in 2019.
“Emergency Contact” could be a reference to Schumer's 2022 Saturday Night Live opening monologue, where she made the quip: “It's awkward having sex with your spouse. It is. Because, like, that's your family. I have Thanksgiving with you. I put your sweaters. I can't fall on you. You're my emergency contact, for God's sake.

In 2022, the 41-year-old hosted the Netflix special "Amy Schumer Presents: Parental Advisory," which featured comedians Chris DiStefano and Rachel Feinstein, among others.
Schumer's recent credits include the Hulu series "Life & Beth" as well as a guest stint as herself on "Only Murders in the Building." She co-hosted the 2022 Oscars, yes, the year of the slap, and last year she brought her sketch comedy "Inside Amy Schumer" back for one more season. Schumer's film credits include "Bros," "I Feel Pretty," "Thank You for Your Service," and "Trainwreck."
Schumer won an Emmy in 2015 for her Outstanding Variety Sketch Series for "Inside Amy Schumer," and she also won a 2016 Writers Guild Award for the show.
