Amy Schumer, acclaimed comedian and actor, recreates one of her most beloved movie scenes. Schumer is best known for her sharp, self-deprecating humor and candid take on topics such as relationships and gender dynamics, with a knack for subverting expectations. She first gained widespread recognition with her sketch comedy series Inside Amy Schumer, which featured sketches, stand-up, and interviews that tackled controversial subjects with a satirical yet authentic touch. The series won a Peabody Award and earned multiple Emmy nominations.
Schumer has further established herself as a multifaceted talent in the entertainment industry. In 2017, she starred in the comedy film Snatched alongside Goldie Hawn. A year later, she led I Feel Pretty, a heartfelt comedy about a woman who, after a head injury, suddenly gains unshakable self-confidence. Now, Schumer is set to return to movies with Kinda Pregnant, a Netflix comedy that sees her playing Lainy, a Brooklyn-based English teacher who fakes a pregnancy out of jealousy of her best friend Kate (Jillian Bell).
Amy Schumer Recreates Iconic Dance From Trainwreck
The Hit Comedy’s Finale Gets A Real-Life Encore
During the New York Knicks game on Saturday, February 1, Schumer joined the Knicks City Dancers to recreate the final dance scene from her feature film debut, Trainwreck. The Golden Globe-nominated comedy follows Amy (Schumer), a magazine writer skeptical of monogamy, as she navigates an unexpected romance with sports doctor Aaron Conners (Bill Hader). Directed by Judd Appatow, Trainwreck also features notable performances by LeBron James and Brie Larson, along with several celebrity appearances, including John Cena, Tilda Swinton, Daniel Radcliffe, and Matthew Broderick.
In a video shared on her Instagram, Schumer enthusiastically leads the Knick City Dancers in the Trainwreck dance routine. To win back Aaron, Amy performs an energetic routine to his favorite song, Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl,” as a heartfelt gesture and profession of her love for him. The performance concluded with Schumer blowing kisses to the audience, including James. Watch the video below:

Trainwreck’s Ending Still Delivers
Schumer bringing back her Trainwreck dance nearly a decade later is the perfect touch of nostalgic comedy. The film’s finale was a standout moment as Amy embraces her love for Aaron with an over-the-top grand gesture to an iconic love song. Seeing Schumer recreate it in real life—at an actual Knicks game, no less—feels like a full-circle moment that highlights her acclaimed legacy. It’s a reminder of why Trainwreck resonated with audiences in the first place and why Schumer remains a bold voice in comedy.
