Amy Schumer and Anna Wintour Switch Jobs for a Day — Hilarity Ensues

What happens when Amy Schumer tries out one of the most coveted jobs in the fashion industry?

See for yourself in the video below, as the Jewish comedienne swaps lives for a day with Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour — all we can say is that the result is pretty hilarious.

Schumer, who is the cover model for the magazine’s July issue, struggles with eating a minimal lunch and telling the difference between two seemingly identical shirts.

Meanwhile Wintour discovers she has a knack for comedy, as the audience during her stand-up routine repeatedly breaks into laughter.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.

In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.

At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.

Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.

Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly. 

— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
