On a season already full of boldly feminist sketches, Tuesday night’s episode of Inside Amy Schumer was the boldest yet: an episode-long parody of 12 Angry Men in which male stars like John Hawkes, Paul Giamatti, Vincent Kartheiser, and Jeff Goldblum debated the important question of whether Schumer is hot enough to be on TV. “It’s a theme that has been kind of ever-present on the show — women constantly being evaluated and the sort of rage men have for anyone who is not a ‘10,’” Schumer told Vanity Fair. “People were so mad about Lena [Dunham] taking her clothes off … there is like this weird anger towards women who feel comfortable in their own skin and aren’t afraid to show it.” The full episode’s not online, but you can get a sense of the magic in the clips below.
