And one season later on _The Bachelorette_, Kaitlyn has swapped Kimmel for Amy Schumer and Costco for a comedy club. During [Monday night’s _Bachelorette_](http://www.ew.com/recap/the-bachelorette-season-11-episode-3), Schumer made the world fall even more in love with her as she helped the guys prepare for a night of stand-up comedy. Specifically, she helped to knock JJ, the house jerk, off his high horse by explaining that his jokes weren’t funny and he’s not smarter than everyone else. It was that moment—paired with Schumer calling JJ a “turd”—that made Twitter take action. When [_People_](http://www.people.com/article/amy-schumer-bachelorette-appearance) rounded up tweets surrounding that moment, there were two prevailing thoughts: Either have Schumer do weekly commentary for the show or have her be the next Bachelorette. (Even _Bachelor_ creator Mike Fleiss got in on the action.) > [](https://twitter.com/jenelleriley/status/603065661309394944) > [](https://twitter.com/jacvanek/status/603067773636354048) > [](https://twitter.com/MoneyMichelle/status/603079061154304002) > [](https://twitter.com/fleissmeister/status/603023048665538560) For more, head over to [_People_](http://www.people.com/article/amy-schumer-bachelorette-appearance)_._ [_This article originally appeared on EW.com_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/26/amy-schumer-bachelorette-twitter) ABC Would Hire Amy Schumer for The Bachelorette ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3897444/abc-would-hire-amy-schumer-for-the-bachelorette/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3897444/abc-would-hire-amy-schumer-for-the-bachelorette/"},"headline":"ABC Would Hire Amy Schumer for The Bachelorette","datePublished":"2015-05-27T03:51:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:38:56.658Z","description":"UPDATE: ABC’s head of alternative programming, Robert Mills, tweeted on Tuesday that he would love to have Amy Schumer appear on the next season of...","url":"https://time.com/3897444/abc-would-hire-amy-schumer-for-the-bachelorette/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Highfill / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3897444/abc-would-hire-amy-schumer-for-the-bachelorette/","name":"ABC Would Hire Amy Schumer for The Bachelorette"}}]}] ```
