The 'Trainwreck' actress says she would agree to star on the reality dating series if the show let her be herself and be honest, but she's not sure 'if it's good for that show.'

ABC's head of alternative programming, Robert Mills, recently publicly offered Amy Schumer to be the next Bachelorette. A "huge fan of the show," the rising star says she would do it if ABC agreed to three conditions.
"They would have to say, 'We will let you be yourself," she said in an interview with E!'s Maria Menounos. "I would say what was really up... I would be very honest and I don't think there's room for that in the franchise."
The "Inside Amy Schumer" star would also change the way the producers choose the suitors. "The casting process would have to be different," she added. Criticizing the show's "weird" job descriptions, she explained, "It's like, 'former investment banker'?! They're like, 'flower enthusiast'? You're like, 'But what do you do? How come you could leave your life?' I love when it's like, 'I have five kids at home but I just came here to follow my heart.' It's like maybe go take care of your kids? I would keep it very real. And I don't know if it's good for that show."
Aside from those two terms, Schumer said the producers should offer her "a lot of money."
While it seems impossible that ABC and the producers would meet the requirements, "The Bachelor" / "The Bachelorette" host Chris Harrison seemed to agree to those three conditions. He simply replied, "Yes," to a tweet from E!'s Kristin Dos Santos who wrote, "How can ABC nail down @amyschumer as #TheBachelorette? She shares her 3 conditions," along with a link to the article of Schumer's interview.
