SHOO, SCHUMER!

- Brian Niemietz

She feels pretty, but treats other comics like they’re petty. Some comedy fans at Caroline’s on Broadway were not amused when “I Feel Pretty” star Amy Schumer interrupte­d an up-andcoming comic’s performanc­e during the club’s “Best of the Breakout Artists Comedy Series” on Tuesday. “She interrupte­d the guy on stage and said, ‘Mind if I do 10 minutes?’ ” according to a mortified comedy industry insider. “That is so rude and galling. You just don’t do that.” Brendan Sagalow, the comic she upstaged, later said on his podcast that he was surprised by Schumer’s surprise visit, but didn’t mind sharing the spotlight with a star. “I’m like, ‘This is a good thing! This is a great thing!’ Everybody thinks I’m friends with Amy!” he said. Schumer is scheduled to host “Saturday Night Live” this week. Neither Caroline’s or Schumer’s reps responded to a request for comment.
