Talking with Kurt Metzger About His Emmy Nomination

Kurt Metzger is so damn funny. His comedy special "White Precious" aired last month on Comedy Central, to rave reviews, he killed at Montreal Just for Laughs in The Nasty Show, and you can see him performing in clubs all over New York City. And stand up is only part of the picture-- he also records a hit podcast, "Race Wars" with Sherrod Small weekly, and he's been writing his ass off for shows like Chappelle Show, and The Jim Norton Show on Vice.com, and he was recently nominated for an Emmy! Metzger has been writing for Inside Amy Schumer for both of its two seasons and the show is without a doubt the best written sketch show on tv today. RJ Waldron talked with Kurt recently about writing for the show, and being nominated in this latest edition of "The Set"
