Surprisingly, she’s not shocked. Schumer’s mother, Sandy Schumer, admitted that her famous daughter’s sometimes x-rated bits don’t offend her during a [segment](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/amy-schumer-explains-herself/ "undefined") with CBS News’s _Sunday Morning_. “I will tell you honestly, no,” she told Mo Rocca when he asked if she’s uncomfortable with the 34-year-old’s humor. “I’m never embarrassed.” During the segment, Schumer and Rocca also visited her alma mater, South Side High School on Long Island, New York. The _Trainwreck_ star surprised a drama class, and even dished out some life advice. “This is such a time in your lives when all these insecurities creep in and you’re looking in the mirror like, ‘I don’t look like all the Kardashians,’ ” she told students. “And you think that that’s wrong. But it’s not. You should just totally look in the mirror and just love yourself, and be like, ‘This is the package I come in, and I’m just going to embrace it.’ ” Despite her mom’s glowing approval, she also advised the high schoolers against trying to please their parents. “And don’t try and make your parents proud, because it’s impossible,” she said. “They don’t understand!” _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/amy-schumer-sunday-morning-interview-cbs "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com/people/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3946361/amy-schumer-jokes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3946361/amy-schumer-jokes/"},"headline":"Amy Schumer's Mom Is 'Never Embarrassed' by Her Raunchy Jokes","datePublished":"2015-07-06T11:14:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T08:58:43.435Z","description":"She's not shocked","url":"https://time.com/3946361/amy-schumer-jokes/","keywords":["celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt07ba6d52d30e9f30/698859aa196cf440c2036fa8/amy-schumer.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Lindsay Kimble / People"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt07ba6d52d30e9f30/698859aa196cf440c2036fa8/amy-schumer.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Amy Schumer","caption":"Amy Schumer","creditText":"Ilya S.
