Amy Schumer has mocked industry sexism and ageism in her viral Last F**kable Day sketch with Tina Fey, Patricia Arquette and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

The 33-year-old comedian stumbles across three of her show business heroes picnicking in an idyllic meadow to celebrate Dreyfus' last day before being put out to pasture.

"In every actress's life, the media decides when you finally reach the point where you're not believably f**kable anymore," Dreyfus, 54, says with a glass of wine in hand.

Schumer, confused, asks who tells actresses when their time is up.

"Well nobody really overtly tells you," Tina Fey, 44, says.

"But there are signs. You know how Sally Field was Tom Hank's love interest in Punchline and like, 20 minutes later she was his mom in Forrest Gump?"

Other signs were having a film wardrobe comprised of long, shapeless sweaters, or reading for parts like Mrs Claus.

Dreyfus marvelled at the fact she was allowed to stay f**kable throughout her forties and into her fifties.

"I thought that US Weekly had made some sort of clerical error or something," she said.

The all-star cast of women then matter-of-factly explain to Schumer that male actors never reach a sexual expiry date.

"They could be a hundred with white spiders coming out," says Fey, who later tells the group Bruce Willis, 60, is dating an "actual baby lamb."

The trending skit that aired in the season premiere of Inside Amy Schumer this week is a searing commentary on Hollywood's antiquated double standards.

The sketch, three years in the making, finally ends with the group giving Dreyfus a ritual Viking funeral send off down the river in a boat, cigar in hand.
