The I Feel Pretty actress also assured her fans that her three-year-old son Gene is already “home and better” after his frightening hospitalization.
“The reason this show is so fun to do isn’t really the performance or the show itself. It’s spending time with the people there,’ Schumer said of the SNL cast and crew, who she described as ‘the most talented people with the kindest hearts’. .

Schumer then said, “It used to be called Asperger, but then they found out that Dr. Asperger had ties to the Nazis, Kanye…”
Inside creator Amy Schumer then seemed to riff like she didn’t mean it, tapping her microphone to see if anyone could hear her and intoning, “That’s weird.”
Schumer appeared to reference West and suspended Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving’s recent spate of anti-Semitic comments at the end of the show, where she wore a baseball t-shirt that read: ” <3 Jews".

The long-running liberal comic also referenced the upcoming election, joking that she was hosting the last episode before the “mid-term abortions” before cutting off, saying, “What the hell? what did I say? Sorry, I was thinking what’s at stake if we don’t vote.
She also discussed her life with her husband and son before starring in various sketches and featuring musical guest Steve Lacy.
The comments were the latest criticism from West, who recently came under fire for comments he made last month that were deemed anti-Semitic.
