Amy Schumer Reveals the Roast Jokes She Didn’t Get to Tell
Amy Schumer stopped by to promote her new album “Cutting” and answer for all of her lethal Comedy Central Roast appearances. Amy said she heard Steve-O took particular offense to a joke she made but her attempts to apologize after the show were in vain since Steve-O had to run to the hospital after his final stunt: repeatedly smashing his nose into Mike Tyson’s fist.
“He kept running into Tyson’s fist. That [fracture] was the goal,” Amy told Howard. “So yeah, it wasn’t fun to watch. I left the stage. I was like, ‘That’s not … I don’t need that.'”
Asked about a particularly cutting joke she made at the expense of fellow roaster Patrice O’Neal, Amy choked up. “I’m going to cry,” she said. Amy explained that Patrice had a stroke just two days ago but she doesn’t regret the line. “That was a sweet, sweet joke. That joke was gold,” Amy said.
Schumer then rattled off a few jokes she didn’t get to tell, the best being targeted at TMZ’s Harvey Levin: “Harvey, you’ve done more fudge-packing than a Keebler elf … that loves anal.”
Biggest Fear
Howard asked Amy if, like Sarah Silverman, her biggest fear was stumbling over a word onstage and ruining a joke, but Amy shook her head, deadpanning: “My biggest fear is rape.”
Amy also added that she was newly single. “He wasn’t able to give as much as I needed, I guess. A text message once in a while,” she told Howard. Not that she’s interested in settling down. “I already have a ring. The NuvaRing,” she joked.
