Amy Schumer’s still got it!
The coordinated group number, which featured Schumer front and center, wasn’t exactly the same as the dance she does with the Knicks cheerleaders inTrainwreckas a gesture to her onscreen love interestBill Hader. It was, however, similarly intensive — even including a kick line.
The quick dance ended with a group pose and Schumer blowing kisses to the crowd, which also includedLeBron James, who starred in her 2015 film. It also earned her a high honor — a “rookie of the year” title — in a feature on the Knicks City Dancers’Instagram.
And, on her Instagram, Schumer shared some clips from the dance number, as well as some shots of her hanging out courtside at the Lakers vs. Knicks game with the cast of her latest film,Kinda Pregnant, includingJillian Bell,Will ForteandBrianne Howey.
