Jewish American comedian Amy Schumer assures fans that her Comedy Central sketch series “Inside Amy Schumer” has not been canceled.
“@ComedyCentral has provided us with a wonderful home and we couldn’t be happier there. I am just touring,” Schumer writes on Twitter after previously suggesting that the show is no longer in production.
Schumer says, however, there are no plans for a fifth season of the show in the “foreseeable future.”

Schumer, 35, whose rapid rise to fame was capped with her starring role in the 2015 film “Trainwreck,” clarifies a previous tweet in which she asserted, “We aren’t making the show anymore.” Schumer was responding to criticism of one of the show’s writers, Kurt Metzger, who had posted on social media several messages that many interpreted as insensitive to rape victims.
Urged to comment on reports that Metzger had been fired, Schumer responds by saying: “I didn’t fire Kurt. He isn’t a writer for my show because we aren’t making the show anymore. There are no writers for it.”
