Amy Schumer 'Defends' Bill Cosby
The hits just keep coming on Inside Amy Schumer, with the show’s latest in scathing social commentary taking on the ever-burgeoning Bill Cosby alleged rape scandal. In a sketch called “The Court of Public Opinion,” the hot-button topic was put on trial in a courtroom drama parody.
Playing an over-confident defense attorney in a terrible suit with a hiked up skirt, Schumer maintains her signature doe-eyed charm while methodically tearing down the once-wholesome image of the besmirched TV dad. The prosecution doesn’t stand a chance as Schumer’s lawyer wins over the jury with Cosby signatures like pudding pops, fun ‘90s sweaters, a faux scene with The Cosby Show son Theo, and a last-minute surprise chocolate cake delivery, tying in an old Bill Cosby standup routine. “Does anyone feel raped by that?” she asks incredulously. Well done, counselor.

Inside Amy Schumer airs Tuesdays at 10:30 p.m. on Comedy Central.
