We took a closer look: Could that be the one and only Vicky?
Chain-smoking, denim-aficionado Vicky fromThe Characters?
The boozy southern mama who justcrushes it onstage?
Adele backed out, comedian John Early says to me, laughing on the phone.
It just made for such a good story, I just had to do it.
Shes really evangelical aboutThe Characters, which is so sweet, Early says of Schumer.
She has good taste and her main goal was to keep it fun and funny.
So what better person to hire than Vicky?
Early got ordained online, and got out his Vicky costume and wig.
My Vicky costume has been balled up in a suitcase since I last used it.
I was like, This is hell, says Early when he first heard who was coming.
But officiating the ceremony in character as Vicky made things easier, perhaps, than doing it as himself.
If I were up there doing it myself, I would be in a prison of my personality.
It would be terrifying, Early says.
Not to be too artsy about it, but I was in very good hands with Vicky.
Shes not afraid to be sincere.
Vicky is a softie, and shes religious!
Shes a God-fearing woman.
I think she understands the sanctity of the moment.
Will Vicky be available to officiate other weddings in the future?
Absolutely, but it would have to be for someone very special.
I dont think shes for hire.
