Amy Schumer was voted class clown in high school (obviously)


Inside Amy Schumer - Last F**kable Day - Uncensored

It will come as no surprise to fans of Amy Schumer that she was voted Class Comedian as revealed by this yearbook photo from South Side HS in Rockville Centre, LI.

But classmate Stephen Cannoli Cannone, who shared that honor, says she was voted something else too: Teachers Worst Nightmare.

That doesnt show up in the 1999 yearbook, though. Schumer failed to pose for the photo because she had a habit of cutting class.

Shes really smart so she would kind of play with the teachers without them even realizing it and then we would work off each other making jokes, said Cannone, 34.

The gut-busting cohorts were both part of a group known around school as the funny and crazy crowd.

The mischievous clique was also partying at a college level when they were only 15 years old, hitting bars in Manhattan with their fake IDs and never missed a night out.

The hilarious buds first met when Cannone moved from Manhattan to Rockville Centre in 1990 and attended the same elementary school as Schumer.

We used to walk home from school at the same time every day on the opposite sides of the street and she would sometimes make wisecracks at me, Cannone reminisced. We were only about 9 or 10 then.

Though Cannoli didnt pursue a life of comedy himself, he says humor has brought him a long way in his profession as a sales and marketing consultant.

He also promised that Schumers rise to stardom hasnt changed her.

I cant see fame ever getting to her, he said. Shes always going to be who she is.
