She revealed to Jimmy Fallon a prank she once played on Katie Couric, [played](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob-WKTFZq18) a few round of “Would You Rather” and then showed off her acting chops in a highly emotional interview. In this segment, Schumer and Fallon were required to work several emotions and situations into their conversation, from “condescending” to “a little too tipsy” to “shocked by everything.” Amy really nails “condescending” — and they’re both _really_ good at “a little too tipsy.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3960722/amy-schumer-trainwreck-emotional-interview/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3960722/amy-schumer-trainwreck-emotional-interview/"},"headline":"Watch Amy Schumer Show Off Her Very Wide Range of Emotions","datePublished":"2015-07-16T14:50:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:20.489Z","description":"While promoting her new movie Trainwreck on The Tonight Show","url":"https://time.com/3960722/amy-schumer-trainwreck-emotional-interview/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","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":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3960722/amy-schumer-trainwreck-emotional-interview/","name":"Watch Amy Schumer Show Off Her Very Wide Range of Emotions"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Amy Schumer Talks Writing","description":"Amy Schumer Talks Writing","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/DeAmvmGf/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-07-15T21:55:34.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/DeAmvmGf.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3960722/amy-schumer-trainwreck-emotional-interview/","duration":"PT1M14S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3960722/amy-schumer-trainwreck-emotional-interview/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
