From 4 days ago: Oscars host Amy Schumer requested Zelenskyy be able to ‘satellite in or make a tape’ for award show
Of course Schumer's niece or whatever would make such a request
I just checked, her and chuck are cousins :agony-minion:
seriously? What an age gap.
Her dad is apparently Chuck's second cousin, meaning her dad and Chuck are of the same generation and share at least one great-grandparent (i.e. their grandparents are at least half-siblings). That makes her Chuck's second cousin once removed, since there's a one generation difference between the two. It's easier to understand if you look at a diagram (labeled version if that's helpful)
One of them is hilarious. The other is named Amy.

Schumer is actually one of three hosts, sharing the stage with Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall. She's also staring in a Hulu show she created called Life & Beth so she's not doing nothing. This isn't a defense of her hosting, but hosting the oscars isn't exactly a primo spot in recent years. It's kind of like the super bowl halftime show, which variably stars people previously famous trying to get back into the public eye.
