Amy Schumer surprised Ellen DeGeneres on Thursday’s episode of her daytime talk show by dressing up just like her in the same outfit along with a dodgy short wig.
The 40-year-old native New Yorker did a hoedown-style dance as she joined the Louisiana-born 64-year-old, who gamely danced alongside her.
The two comedians shared a hug before Ellen asked, ‘How did this happen?’

‘Am I not taking over the show?’ asked Amy, acting confused. ‘Is that no the plan?’
DeGeneres – whose final show is May 26 – replied: ‘I would love it.’
SNL star Kate McKinnon pulled off the same stunt far better than Schumer, impersonating the 32-time Daytime Emmy winner on her show twice – on April 24, 2013 and again on February 24, 2016.
This Sunday, the Emmy winner will be co-hosting the 94th Academy Awards at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre alongside comedians Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes.

‘I am not nervous [to host], because I think that’s what stand-up does to you, right? It goes so bad that you’re just like you lose that fear,’ Amy confidently shrugged.
‘But I do have trouble sleeping. It’s like they figured it out, you know. Like they figured out sleep. What does everyone say? An hour before you go to bed, turn your phone off, right? And you’ll have the best night of sleep of your entire life, is what they say.
‘And what do we say? No. They go, “Okay how about just 10 minutes before you go to bed?” No, I’m sorry. I’m eating so I have to be reading something. So I’m not sleeping well. But I’m not nervous. I’m excited.’
Ellen – who hosted the 86th Academy Awards in 2014 – then offered some advice to Schumer.
