Live from Studio 8H, it’s Amy Schumer!
The actress and comedian, 41, hosted Saturday Night Live for the third time over the weekend, where she was joined by Steve Lacy, who served as the evening’s musical guest.
During her opening monologue, which ran more than six minutes, Schumer poked fun at her husband Chris Fischer‘s autism diagnosis. (The star previously revealed that Fischer, 42, was diagnosed with the disorder in her 2019 Netflix special Growing.)
“It’s been really positive for our family to have him diagnosed. I understand so much more about his behavior, and it’s given him so many tools,” she said, then joking, “Now, if somebody is in the middle of a long, boring story, he will straight up just walk away.”

Schumer also recalled a recent moment she shared with her husband, telling audience members, “A couple of weeks ago, we were sitting outside. It was a nice night. It looked like it was going to rain, and I was feeling kind of sentimental, and I was like, ‘You know, even though these past couple of years with the pandemic and everything has been so stressful, still this time being with you, being with our son, they’ve been the best years of my life.’ “
“And he just looked at me and said, ‘I’m going to go put the windows up in the car,'” the mother of one said in response. “Yeah, that’s my guy. It’s one of the times we play the game — autism or just a man?’ “
