Josh Peck blasts Amy Schumer's Joy Koy criticism
While Koy's presenting was widely derided after he blamed his writers for his jokes failing to land, Peck believes there is a "brotherhood and sisterhood" for comedians and hit out at Schumer for "throwing him under the bus".
Speaking on the 'Good Guys' podcast, Josh, 27, said: "I took issue with Amy Schumer who recently was on the Dear Media podcast. She was asked about Jo Koy. I feel defensive of comedians. It’s a brotherhood, it’s a sisterhood. And she basically was critical of Jo Koy. She was throwing him under the bus, which was [unfair] because she’s a comedian. It’s like, we all know he had a tough night. Why continue to go after him a month later?”
Josh also shared an insight from his comedian friend Yannis Pappas.
Josh explained: “[He said], ‘The jokes were fine he just wasn’t confident because it was such an intimidating room and they weren’t giving him love. He was undeserving of all the [backlash].”
However, Josh's co-host Ben Soffer was unimpressed with Joy blaming his writers.
He said: "If you’re bombing, you don’t need to tell us that you’re bombing because your writers suck. He threw them under the bus.”
Amy, 42, who hosted the 2022 Oscars, said Joy, 52, got a “lesson handed to him".
Speaking on the 'Not Skinny But Not Fat' podcast, she said: "If [the audience doesn’t] laugh, then it’s a problem. The thing with Jo … he threw his writers under the bus and that was not a good look. If I’m going to say a joke about anyone … I’m going to clear it. Like, I cleared [my jokes] to Leonardo DiCaprio. I cleared it with these people. Because I don’t want to make that mistake."
