Amy Schumer has landed herself in hot water again with fresh allegations of stealing other comedian’s jokes, and this time it’s from the back catalogue of Zach Galifianakis.

The Trainwreck star has featured in a comparative YouTube clip in which she’s allegedly used a 2013 joke from Galifianakis about being ‘well read’.

While the set up and punch line to the joke in question do seem pretty similar, the throwaway comment is so short that it could just be a happy coincidence.


Like minds, perhaps?

But then again, if Amy did take some creative licence and ‘borrow’ from Zach, it would definitely be super awkward.



In what could also be a hilariously ironic moment (but likely just serendipitous), Amy presented the CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Award to acting legend Goldie Hawn at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

The pair have been promoting their new comedy Snatched at CinemaCon, in which they pair play a mother and daughter team.

Schumer has previously been accused of using material in her stand-up sets from the likes of Dave Chappelle, Wendy Liebman, John Mulaney and Kathleen Madigan.

The allegations led the 35-year-old to defend herself on the Jim Norton Advice Show in January 2016, even saying she’d ‘take a polygraph test’ to prove she didn’t steal jokes.

‘I would never, ever do that. I never have,’ she said.

‘I literally am going to take a polygraph test and put it on my show this season.’
