Famous and occasionally controversial stand up comedienne Amy Schumer has been continuously hounded by her fans and followers to accept the offer of ABC executives offer regarding her potential involvement in "The Bachelorette." While the star constantly shrugged off the requests, it appears that there might be hope for such project to come into fruition, according to Variety.
In an interview with E Online, Schumer shares that she will only seriously consider (and possibly agree to star in) "The Bachelorette" if all three of her requirements are met by the show's creators. For her first condition, the Comedy Central star says that the series should offer her a considerable sum for compensation. "Money," she discloses. For further emphasis, Schumer adds, "A lot of money."
As for her second requirement, the star wants to be granted free reign of her behavior and comments throughout should she agree on doing "The Bachelorette." Pointing out that one of the primary concerns behind her uncertainty when it comes to pursuing the said ABC project is her inability to keep mum when she is simply bursting to give someone a piece of her mind, Schumer says that such attitude may not be beneficial to the reality show.
The comedienne notes that she has the tendency to be "very honest" - something she believes will only serve to the show's disadvantage. She says, "I don't think there's room for that in the franchise." Hence, to convince her to be part of "The Bachelorette," Schumer says that the producers should say, "We will let you be yourself." Should they agree to do so, then she "would say what was really up."
For her third condition, Schumer wants the casting process to change. "The casting process would have to be different," she says, referring to the vague job descriptions of the contestants. She continues to say, "It's like, 'former investment banker'?! They're like, 'flower enthusiast'? You're like, 'But what do you do? How come you could leave your life?'" She then adds, "I love when it's like, 'I have five kids at home but I just came here to follow my heart.' It's like maybe go take care of your kids? I would keep it very real. And I don't know if it's good for that show."
The reality series, "The Bachelorette," hits small screens every Monday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
