“Last summer at a memorial dinner for the late, great Jimmy Buffett, when his widow Jane Buffett entered the room of grieving guests, Amy took one of her t**s out, walked right up to Jane, and gave her a huge hug,” Seinfeld said.
“It cut right through the darkness and made everyone smile. If that isn’t a celebration of life, I don’t know what is.”
Seinfeld added, “She also said to his daughter and my friend Delaney, ‘If it makes you feel any better, I wish my dad was dead'."
Schumer has mentioned being friends with the Buffetts for a long time and has shared that she grew up listening to Jimmy's music.
“It just made you feel like everything was going to be OK,” she has said. The singer's cameo in Schumer's show 'Life & Beth' further solidified their bond.
The 'Margaritaville' singer passed away from skin cancer in September of last year at the age of 76. Schumer, who was friends with the Buffetts for years, shared anecdotes about her interactions with Jimmy Buffett, including humorous stories about her dating life.
She used her speech to advocate for female empowerment and discussed her involvement with the organization Everytown for Gun Safety, which she joined after two women were shot and killed while attending a screening of her movie 'Trainwreck' in July 2015. Other honorees at the event hosted by Amber Ruffin included producer Shonda Rhimes, 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit' star Mariska Hargitay, and singer Anitta.
