8. She’s Winning in a Man’s World
Late-night comedy has been ruled by men for decades, but Chelsea Handler opened the door for late-night female hosts back in the early 2000’s. Her special, Amy Schumer: Mostly Sex Stuff, was one of Comedy Central’s highest-rated and most-watched stand-up specials in 2012, drawing over 1.6 million viewers for its premiere. After the success of her stand-up special, Comedy Central gave Schumer her own show in 2013. Inside Amy Schumer, the provocatively hilarious sketch comedy series, has been met with positive reviews. It is now on its third season. Amy Schumer was also the first female comic to perform on both The Ellen Degeneres Show and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
