In a hilarious new promo, Matt Damon roasts comedian Andrew Schulz while discussing the comedian’s new pregnancy-themed, stand-up special, LIFE.
Schulz, 41, who says he and Damon, 54, are mutual fans of each other and first crossed paths in New York City and at industry events, filmed the special, which will premiere March 4, at NYC’s Beacon Theater during his most recent tour. In it, he shares details of trying to start a family with his wife, Emma Turner, and his hilarious and humbling take on IVF before their daughter, Shiloh Jean, was born in February 2024.
Damon, who sports a long, scraggly beard in the promo, shot it right before leaving to film Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. “Matt’s the man. We were in the trailer right before we filmed just riffing on the script and his ideas were hilarious. They made the sketch so much better,” Schulz says.
Schulz hopes people who watch the special will “laugh their asses off, tap into their emotions a little bit and if anyone went through a similar fertility journey, I hope they don’t feel any shame or stigma about it afterwards,” he adds. “It’s brutal but it’s also hilarious. And sometimes laughing at the tough things in life allows us to accept them and move on.”
Also the cohost of the podcast Flagrant with Akaash Singh and The Brilliant Idiots podcast with Charlamagne tha God, Schulz just completed his sold-out global Life tour, which included more than 70 arenas and theaters across the US, Canada, Europe, the Middle East and Australia.
LIFE premieres March 4 on Netflix.
