Amy Schumer denies she stole these jokes from other comedians - and she plans to prove it
The "Trainwreck" star went on comedian Jim Norton's SiriusXM show on Wednesday to clear her name.
"I wanted to come and talk to you and clear my name, because I would never ever [steal a joke] and I never have," she said. "I'm so like: 'Is this anyone's bit?' I have to come up with so much material, for my TV show, this movie, stand-up, and I'm so careful, and none of these things had ever reached me. I would never do that, it would be so stupid for me to do that."
The denial arrives after Schumer was first charged with copying jokes from late comic Patrice O'Neal last year during her HBO comedy special. Then, a video, which has been deleted, made the rounds earlier this week showing Schumer's jokes compared to similar ones from O'Neal and other comedians.
Schumer even offered to get a lie-detector test to prove her innocence.
"I'm literally going to take a polygraph test and put it on my show this season, and I promise, whatever the results are - I won't let them cut - I will show that I had never, never seen Patrice do that bit," the "Inside Amy Schumer" star said.
She also took to Twitter with her denial.
