Unfortunately, she made some mistakes while interviewing Christina Applegate, like saying that the actress had been nominated for her own show for the first time for her role on “Dead to Me” when she had previously been nominated twice for “Samantha Who?”

Apart from that, she surprised the world in October announcing on “Live with Kelly and Ryan” that she would not host New Year’s Eve with Ryan Seacrest. It was the first time in almost a decade without Jim Carrey’s ex-partner hosting the special.

Amy Schumer’s baby boy, Gene Attell Fischer, was born on May 5. She once admitted that her son changed her in “a million ways,” including her relationship with her mother as she has been “nicer” to her.

Judge Indira Talwani made that decision after the actress pleaded guilty to fraud and conspiracy for paying an admissions consultant $15,000 to have a proctor correct her daughter’s SAT answers. Felicity Huffman’s daughter apparently was not aware of the scam.
