Where did Amy Schumer get her sense of humor?

"I think it was the divorce and my dad getting sick that were the wonderful gifts that made me the strong angel you see here today," the 34-year-old writer and star of Universal Pictures' Trainwreck laughingly tells Mo Rocca in an interview for CBS Sunday Morning With Charles Osgood, airing July 5.

The comedienne was joking, sure, but she wasn't exactly lying.

Born in New York City, Schumer's family was financially secure for years. But when she was 12 years old, her father was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. After going bankrupt, the family moved to Long Island, and later, her parents got divorced.

How did the TV star cope?

"I love to laugh. I seek laughter all the time. I think that's something that also comes with having a sick parent is you don't know what's going to happen and so I'll be like, 'I'm psyched my legs still work,'" Schumer tells Rocca. "And I want to, like, experience all I can and make as many memories as I can."

That said, Schumer's father is never far from her thoughts.

When it comes to dating, she admits, "It affects your relationships for sure. Everybody I meet and I'm like, 'Yeah, he's cool, but would, like, would I push him in a wheelchair? You know, would I want him to push me?' So, yeah, I go there pretty quick. Other people are like, 'Should we go to Hawaii on vacation?' I'm like, 'Do I want you to change my colostomy bag?' It just changes your perspective."
