At the time, Schumer was newly married to her husband, chef Chris Fischer, and from the clip it looks as though fans might be getting a behind-the-scenes glimpse at their February 2018 wedding where Schumer tearfully told Fischer, "I'm so happy for you that you found me."

While the couple were on tour, they also apparently found out they were expecting their first child together, Gene, who is now `1 year old and a regular fixture on the couple's at-home quarantine cooking show for the Food Network, Amy Schumer Learns To Cook.

I'm just so excited."

Expecting Amy promises to offer a raw look at the reality of Schumer's difficult pregnancy.

As Sarah Aubrey, head of original content for HBO Max, said in a statement to Variety about Expecting Amy, “Amy Schumer is an inspiration and this project is such an honest look at her experience being on the road while preparing for her special.
