Jon Snow's fate 'spilled' by new Inside Amy Schumer season 4 promo

If you, like many others, are dying with curiosity about the fate of Game of Thrones‘ beloved Jon Snow, Amy Schumer is here on a literal white horse to save you with her theory. No guarantees as far as accuracy, but the new Inside Amy Schumer season 4 promo, released today, reveals Schumer’s take on the HBO series’ season 5 cliffhanger.

Drawing inspiration from Game of Thrones, the teaser features Schumer, looking like she rode off the set of the fantasy drama series, with two older men wearing furs at her horse’s side. “On April 21, Inside Amy Schumer returns, and no spoilers, but Jon Snow is definitely alive,” she says. After a noticeable pause, she adds, “Because he said no to doing our show.”

While the theory’s reasoning may be more influenced by comedy than fact, the promo does underscore the severity of the obsession over whether or not Jon Snow is alive. The character, played by actor Kit Harington, was (spoiler alert!) left to die in the season 5 finale, and Snow has been the subject of intense speculation ever since. Schumer’s take on the issue doesn’t align with that of Harington, who has insisted he’s off the show. However, on a series where anything can (and does) happen, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the Inside Amy Schumer host proven right.

Fans will get more of Schumer’s risqué brand of humor when the Comedy Central series returns for its fourth season in just weeks. The sketch comedy, which features frequent guest stars, has been nominated for several Emmys over the course of its three seasons, with Schumer earning a Peabody Award in 2014. In spite of her success, though, the comedian insists in the new promo that “fame hasn’t change [her],” quipping that the horse is just the Uber that picked her up.

Inside Amy Schumer season 4 premieres on April 21 at 10:00 pm ET on Comedy Central.

Ryan Gosling soars into space to save the world in Project Hail Mary trailer
Ryan Gosling looks confused.

In the official trailer for Project Hail Mary, Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) makes one thing clear: He is not an astronaut. Yet this middle school science teacher is humanity's only hope.

The sun is dying, and because of Grace's background in molecular biology, he might be "the only scientist" who can save Earth. Eva Stratt (Sandra Hüller) recruits Grace to join Project Hail Mary, a mission to explore a star 11.9 light-years away that could provide the answers humanity needs to ensure its survival. "If we do nothing, everything on this planet will go extinct," Stratt tells Grace.

7 most unnecessary sequels ever
Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix hold mics and smile in Joker: Folie à Deux."

It's common knowledge that many movie sequels fail to live up to the hype and quality of their predecessors. Film studios usually try to follow the money by making a follow-up to a movie that succeeded in theaters. However, filmmakers can't always replicate the magic of the original film, which has led to some lackluster sequels.

These films can bomb so spectacularly or miss the mark by so much that some even argue that they had no business existing at all. While almost any film can be deemed "unnecessary," there are many sequels to critically and commercially successful motion pictures that really didn't need to be made.

Glen Powell poses in a disguise in The Running Man.

Paramount Pictures revealed the first trailer for The Running Man, a dystopian action movie based on Stephen King's 1982 novel. Glen Powell headlines The Running Man, and despite the lack of footage, it's clear that his Ben Richards will be better than the one portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"Stop filming me!" Powell's Richards screams before an explosion launches the character off a bridge and into the water. In a near-future society, Ben faces a financial crisis. He needs a doctor to save his sick daughter. Because desperate times call for desperate measures, Ben enters The Running Man, a deadly competition where contestants ("Runners") must survive 30 days. During that timeframe, professional assassins ("Hunters") hunt the contestants down, intending to kill them. Survive and win the grand prize, or die and get nothing.
