Amy Schumer shares Emmy nomination for cooking show with Filipino nanny

After comedienne Amy Schumer received an Emmy nomination, she made sure to include her Filipino nanny, Jane, in the acclaim.

Food Network show “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook” got the Emmy nod last Wednesday, July 29. It features Schumer and her husband, chef Chris Fischer, cooking and making cocktails while in quarantine.

To mark the achievement, Schumer posted a selfie of her and Jane on Instagram and said, “We got got nominated for an Emmy today (Chris too. But mostly us).”

Jane takes care of the couple’s baby boy, Gene, whom they welcomed in May 2019. While Gene’s asleep, the couple and Jane work on the show, with Jane filming them from a handheld camera.

Schumer has shown love to Jane on Instagram, saying in a post in January as they wore skincare face masks: “This is our nanny who makes it possible for me to work and know that our baby is happy and healthy. I love her very much and we also both want to have nice skin.”

The show’s first season has four episodes, and it seems Jane will have to continue her camera work as it has been renewed for a second season last June.  /ra
