It’s hard to believe that just a few years ago Amy Shumer was just another hard working New York club comic. Her rise has been meteoritic. Her Comedy Central show is a big hit and she’s getting early buzz for this summer’s Trainwreck, a film she wrote that is directed by Judd Apatow.

She has been named one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people.

She’s hot and she’s becoming mainstream

So it may have come as a surprise that she chose the Time Magazine red carpet to to take a flop in front of a ‘we are not amused’ Kanye and Kim, the current King and Queen
of Self Important people.

Amy explained the method behind the madness move to an amused Graham Norton.

She said, “You know when you’re doing interviews and the person sees somebody more improtant behind you? Which is always for me. It’s like being at a party and there’s a hotter girl behind you and they’re just like ehhhrr, like they just want you to drop dead. So I saw the reporter do that, and all the reporters are going crazy, and Kim and Kanye just standing there just like owning it, being short and important. And I think falling is the funniest thing so I just took a dive in front of them.”

Trainwreck opens July 17th.
