Did you know Amy Schumer auditioned for the starring role in Lena Dunham’s show “Girls?” Dunham said, “It was clear Amy wasn’t meant to play an innocent Juicy Couture lover obsessed with emoji—even if her Meatpacking District club lingo was the funniest sh*t I had ever heard. But when she left the room, the vibe was very, ‘Someone get that lady a show, STAT!’” So despite not getting the role, Amy appeared in two episodes of the show as Angie.
