Amy Schumer Got So Excited After Her Son Said 'Dad' For The First Time That He Started Bawling

Amy Schumer Got So Excited After Her Son Said 'Dad' For The First Time That He Started Bawling

Having a baby is of course full of milestones—first teeth, first steps, first words, each more exciting than the next.

But for comedian and new mom Amy Schumer, the excitement might have gotten just a bit too intense—for her toddler son Gene anyway. Schumer recently posted a video to Instagram of her son saying "Dad" for the first time—a big moment for any baby.


But Schumer got so excited she startled the poor little guy—so much so that he burst into tears.

The video started out as a sweet greeting to Schumer's husband, James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Fischer.

"We just wanted to say hi Daddy, we miss you and we hope you're having a fun day."

Schumer then looked at her son Gene and tried to get him to say "Dad."

After a moment's hesitation, the toddler looked right into the camera with a giant, knowing smile and did just that.

Clearly not expecting this outcome, Schumer's face exploded with joy and the two other people in the room both began laughing in surprise. All three began clapping and cheering for Gene, who seemed impressed with himself—until it all became too much and the little guy threw his head back and bawled, giving the video a hilarious coda.

In her caption, Schumer expressed the joy the moment brought her—Gene bursting into tears notwithstanding.

"This video was clearly a surprise to us. Getting to experience these first moments with my son makes me feel so lucky"

Schumer also used her caption to raise awareness of DJ Henry, a Black Pace University student killed by police in 2010.

Several celebrities recently petitioned Attorney General William Barr to reopen Henry's case, in which a grand jury declined to bring charges.

On Instagram, Schumer's fans and fellow celebs alike were feeling the love and hilarity of Gene's big moment.

Schumer has given fans many candid looks at her intro to motherhood—from her hospitalization while pregnant to the hilarious reason she had to change Gene's name.

Hopefully little Gene will give his mom plenty more hilarious content in the future.

Denzel Washington Reveals His Gay Kiss In 'Gladiator II' Got Cut From Film—'They Got Chicken'

Hollywood has made some progress with LGBTQ+ representation in mainstream films like Call Me by Your Name (2017), Moonlight (2016), and Carol (2015) that cater to those audiences.

But when it comes to featuring a gay kiss in commercial blockbusters meant for the general mass audience, studios remain skittish and tend to leave such scenes on the cutting room floor.

Elon Musk Sued For Fraud By Petition Signers Over Million Dollar Vote Buying Scheme

Three proposed class-action lawsuits have been filed against billionaire Elon Musk alleging that his political action committee, America PAC, engaged in fraudulent practices. The lawsuits claim the PAC misled voters by promising a random $1 million cash prize, even though the winners were allegedly predetermined.

Musk established America PAC in October to back President-elect Donald Trump’s successful presidential campaign. The PAC reportedly targeted Trump supporters in battleground states, encouraging them to share personal information and sign an online petition advocating for "free speech and the right to bear arms" in exchange for a chance to win the prize.

After President-elect Donald Trump chose Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz for his Attorney General, conservative commentator Ben Domenech—the co-founder of The Federalist and editor-at-large of The Spectator World—did not hold back with a warning to anyone who votes to confirm him.

Domenech highlighted that Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded on Wednesday when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.

Conservative Influencer Stuns TikTok By Saying That Slavery Should Be 'State-By-State' Choice

In many ways, we should have all seen the recent election results coming, and chief among the missed signs is how cooked some of Gen Z's brains are.

Though the majority of the age group voted for Kamala Harris, a staggering proportion voted for Donald Trump at a far higher percentage than is typical for the youth vote where Republicans are concerned.
