At a memorial for the late singer Jimmy Buffett, comedian Amy Schumer brought a moment of levity to the event with a bold, unexpected prank. During the gathering to remember Buffett, who passed away last year after a battle with skin cancer, Schumer lightened the somber mood by pulling down her top as she greeted Buffett’s widow, Jane. This act, described during Sascha Seinfeld’s introduction of Schumer at the Variety Power of Women event in NYC, was reportedly met with laughter and served to momentarily ease the melancholy atmosphere of the memorial.

Sascha Seinfeld, the daughter of Jerry Seinfeld and a writer on Schumer’s show “Life & Beth,” shared this anecdote as part of her speech, illustrating a lesser-seen side of Schumer’s personality that balances her well-known comedic flair with a deep respect and affection for her friends. Schumer’s connection with Jimmy Buffett was not only personal but also professional, as he had appeared on her show, “Life & Beth,” during its second season.

The memorial dinner for Jimmy Buffett was one of many tributes to the celebrated musician, known for his contributions to music and his vibrant personality. His life and legacy were honored not just with personal anecdotes from friends like Schumer but also through various public tributes, including a singalong by some of the biggest names in music and acting.

This incident underscores Schumer’s unique approach to friendship and her capacity to bring humor into even the most somber occasions. It also highlights her ongoing impact both within and beyond the entertainment industry, as she navigates the balance between her public persona and personal relationships.
