Amy Schumer & Josh Charles Parody ‘The Newsroom’ With Sorkin-Style Drama ‘The Foodroom’ Inside a Fast Food Restaurant

On a recent episode of Inside Amy Schumer, the eponymous comedian, along with guest actor Josh Charles (late of The Good Wife), parodies the popular HBO series The Newsroom with “The Foodroom“. Set inside a fast food restaurant, “The Foodroom” utilizes the signature rapid-fire dialogue, lengthy monologues and the “walk and talk” style of screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, a style that can also be readily found in many of his other shows such as The West Wing, Sports Night (also featuring Josh Charles) and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
