Amy’s $30K tip ain’t a joke

COMEDIAN Amy Schumer and CNBC star Marcus Lemonis recently left a $30,000 tip at NYC’s Comedy Cellar for stunned staffers.

The generous tip for the club’s workers to split was part of TV personality Lemonis’ initiative “The Great American Tip-Off,” described as a “nationwide call to action to show some extra love to the hardworking Americans who serve us every day.”

Lemonis — who stars on CNBC’s “The Profit” as well as HGTV’s “The Renovator” — posted a video clip to Instagram of the duo visiting the storied downtown comedy club, where Schumer told the staff, “This is my home club . . . this place changed my life.”

Earlier this year, Schumer helped reopen the club — where she started her career as a standup — along with Chris Rock, Ray Romano, Dave Attell and Colin Quinn, after it was shut during NYC’s COVID-19 lockdown. In 2019 she even played the iconic spot just two weeks after giving birth.

In the Instagram clip with the big tip, Lemonis tells the staff at the club, “You guys work your asses off every day, and it’s underappreciated. We want you to know that there are a lot of people that appreciate it.”

He also tells the workers of himself and Schumer: “We’re both super-blessed — she’s more blessed than I am,” when quick-witted Schumer interjects, “Physically!”

Lemonis continues after her quip: “We wanted to share our blessings with you guys.”

When the duo hands the staff their bill with the $30,000 tip on it, one astonished worker exclaims, “Holy s--t! Thank you very much.”

Lemonis has also left big tips across the US with Kristen Bell and Jason Biggs.

He also just gave more than $10 million to his alma mater, Christopher Columbus HS in Miami. The gift came as a $3.1 million “tip” to faculty and staffers at his former high school, with each employee getting $18,000. He then also donated an additional $7 million to the school for new buildings and upgrades.
