Amy Schumer's 16-month-old son hilariously crashes her 'Ellen' interview
Amy Schumer's 16-month-old son, Gene, just made the sweetest cameo on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday (September 29).
During the comedian's virtual interview with Ellen, Amy created a simulation by posing waist up on the video chat, while her lower half was represented bY plush legs and a skirt that sat on Ellen's guest chair. Though this was absolutely hilarious, it was her baby who proved to be the real star of the show.
"Say Ellen," said the 39-year-old, as she held Gene up to the screen. "Thanks for giving my mom her start. You've supported her more than anyone else in her career."

The Trainwreck star, who welcomed Gene with husband Chris Fischer back in May of 2019, shared an adorable clip of her son saying the word "mom" while he played with a toy, and Amy proceeded to reveal that "mom" wasn't actually his first word.
"I was his second word," she explained. "His first word is 'car,' which definitely hurt both of our feelings."
"He loves cars. I don't know, Chris and I don't care about cars, but he is obsessed," Amy continued. "Anywhere we go...he just wants to be in the parking lot, he just wants to look at cars. Which is really convenient because everywhere you go there are cars."

The I Feel Pretty actress also spoke about her upcoming HBO Max comedy docuseries, Expecting Amy, which follows the comedian throughout her difficult pregnancy, including her struggle with hyperemesis gravidarum.
Looking back, Amy said filming the docu-series helped her through her illness.
"I actually think in retrospect it was a defense mechanism because I was so sick and I felt like, you know, having a witness so I wasn't going through it alone or something," Schumer recalled. "We just filmed it on our phones for the most part and we were just like 'if nothing happens with this, it's fine' or maybe we'll just have a really fun home video. But we filmed the whole darn thing."
