Amy Schumer, joke thief?

Over Martin Luther King Day weekend, three female comedians — Kathleen Madigan, Wendy Liebman and Tammy Pescatelli — alleged, through their Twitter accounts, that Schumer stole their jokes and presented them as her own. A video offers purported proof. Amy went on the Jim Norton Advice Show to defend herself. Is Joe Rogan gonna have to step in?

What's interesting is that Schumer's jokes are way less well-presented than the examples shown. I've seen a lot of her material, and I think that, if these are stolen jokes, then the changes made to make them her own made them suffer.
