Amy Schumer Jokes Martin Short ‘Might Be Off the Market’ amid Rumored Meryl Streep Romance at SNL 50th Special (Exclusive)

Amy Schumer is rooting for romance.

The Kinda Pregnant star was one of the countless celebrities on the SNL50: The Anniversary Special red carpet in New York City on Sunday night, Feb. 16, where she told PEOPLE about her dream table lineup at the afterparty.

“There’s really no one funnier to sit next to than Marty Short, who I got to sit next to at the homecoming concert the other night,” Schumer said, referring to the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert, in New York City on Friday, Feb. 14.

“I think that the tea is, I think Marty might be off the market. That’s what I’m seeing. I don’t know,” Schumer, 43, teased. “Maybe by just like the greatest actor of our time, I don’t know.”

Of sitting with Short and Meryl Streep on Friday, Schumer — who recently starred alongside them on Only Murders in the Building — added, “That was a very fun seat to be seated in.”

Schumer was joined at SNL’s 50th by her husband, Chris Fischer. The two celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary over the weekend.

“Yes, 7 years. We had sex, we did. [Anniversaries] and birthdays. We’ll take it where we can get it,” she joked.

Schumer and 45-year-old Fischer, a professional chef, were first publicly linked in late 2017. They tied the knot on Feb. 13, 2018, in a private Malibu ceremony. In May 2019, they welcomed their son, Gene David.

During a sketch on Friday that had former cast members Will Ferrell and Ana Gasteyer reprising their SNL characters Marty and Bobbi Mohan-Culp, Ferrell, 57, said, “We have pretty significant floaters right now, but it doesn’t stop us from seeing so many middle fingers peppered in both the upper mezzanine and orchestra section. It’s just unbelievably rude.”

Gasteyer, 57, replied, “We’re talking about you, Meryl Streep. We see you.”

With the camera then panning over to the Oscar winner in the audience, Streep raised her hand and flashed her middle finger as Short, 74, and the audience laughed loudly.

The pair’s outing together at the SNL event comes months after representatives for Short shut down rumors regarding the nature of his relationship with Streep, after the pair appeared particularly close at the 2024 Golden Globes in January of that year.

At that time, a representative for Short told PEOPLE that the pair are “just very good friends, nothing more.”

SNL50: The Anniversary Special airs Sunday, Feb. 16, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
