AceShowbiz - Tammy Pescatelli apologized for accusing Amy Schumer of stealing jokes. Stopping by "Jim Norton Advice Show" on Sirius XM's Opie Radiok on Thursday, January 21, Pescatelli admitted that she "went too far" over the matter.
"I went too deep. It went too far, and for that I'm super apologetic," Pescatelli told Norton. She said that she first noticed the similarity between her and Schumer's jokes when she saw the first trailer for "Trainwreck". "I was the last to the party and I drank the most and was the loudest," said Pescatelli. "I probably should have just stayed out of it and kept my mouth shut."
She realized that it might just be parallel thinking and Schumer might have never seen her show that contained the said jokes. Pescatelli also agreed that Schumer had "every right to be mad."
Schumer denied allegations that she stole jokes from comedians Kathleen Madigan, Wendy Liebman and Piscatelli on Wednesday, January 20. She took to Twitter to defend herself after a video comparing her jokes to those comedians went viral.
She also appeared on the same show and told Norton, "I would never, ever do that, and I never have. I have to come up with so much material for my TV show, this movie, stand-up. And I'm so careful. I will literally take a polygraph. And I just would never do that. That would be so stupid for me to do that."
