We haven’t talked about Amy Schumer in a little while. I’m here to inform you that she’s still a self-important hag.
Case in point.
Schumer unexpectedly showed up at Carolines on Broadway earlier this week and decided it was HER time to shine, despite– you know– her being uninvited and unexpected and whatnot. According to this, up-and-coming comedian Brendan Sagalow was the headliner for the show, but Schumer decided that she was more important and demanded stage presence.
“She basically came in and went to the manager and asked if she could get up [on stage]. The manager said Brendan has just gotten up. She asked for 10 minutes and the manager was explaining how he was doing a long set,” a spy told Page Six, to which the comedic actress replied, “But, I’m Amy Schumer!”
Don’t you people know who she is?!?!
Yep. She’s one of those people.
According to this “spy,” Schumer went up to another comic who was scheduled to perform and asked her who Sagalow was, even though she follows him on the ‘gram. The comic told Schumer that this was a big break of sorts for Sagalow. His family was in the audience and everything. Schumer was unmoved by the story and reportedly “barged on stage” anyway.
In a since-deleted video posted on the comedy club’s Instagram page, Schumer can be heard saying, “Brendan! It’s Amy Schumer, can I do 10 minutes really quick?” to which Sagalow responded, “Of course,” before welcoming her onto the stage.
What a selfish seahag. As if she doesn’t already get enough exposure as it is…
a HOT AND HILARIOUS comedian and Amy Schumer! (It’s called supporting your friends)

It’s so freaking RUDE. Sagalow is handling it pretty well though.
Sagalow recounted the experience on his podcast, The Stupid Little Podcast, Wednesday. “I’m five minutes into my set, I’m doing some crowd work … and then from off to the side, I hear, ‘Hey Brendan! It’s Amy Schumer! Can I do 10 minutes?’ In the middle of my set … I look over and it’s Amy, and I’m like, ‘Yeah, of course!’ I had no other reaction … When I’m walking off I’m like, ‘OK …’ But I’m actually happy — I’m like, ‘This is a good thing! This is a great thing!’ Everybody thinks I’m friends with Amy, she knows my name, she said she follows me on Instagram, which she mentioned. She said she ‘loves Brendan as a comic.’ She doesn’t. You put the quarter in, you play the game.”
He later added, “Everybody was like, ‘You should be mad, what a bitch, that’s an awful thing to do.’ Which … it is. It is a pretty s—tty thing to do at my first headlining set with all my friends and family there, but I think it’s a good thing … I thought it was awesome, because everybody else’s headlining set at Carolines, nobody talks about it.”
When reached for comment, Sagalow told Page Six, “I’m happy I could give Amy the time on my show. A lot of people thought it was a sh–ty move on her part to interrupt me and I talked about it more in depth on my podcast, The Stupid Little Podcast, but I thought it was awesome. It didn’t throw me off one bit, I know what I’m doing on stage.”
There’s also this odd little tidbit, which hasn’t been confirmed.
A source close to Schumer told Page Six she had texted Sagalow beforehand letting him know she would come by and that the two are “good friends.”
Um…if that’s true, why was he so taken aback? And why was she basically all, “OMG who is this total nobody?”
If you’re a fan of hers– how can you justify this level of seahaggery? I genuinely want to know.
