Amy Shumer is a Dane Cook-type.
Short-term popularity plagiarist-types do not deserve the same pay as comedy legends with way bigger fanbases and critical acclaim.
Based purely on quality/ratings/ there is no basis for her paycheck to be anywhere near theirs.
This reminds me of when Gwyneth Paltrow said she should get paid as much as Robert Downey Jr. for the Iron Man movies...like what? Lead vs Support, High Screentime vs Low Screentime, Popular figure that is the lynchpin of an entire suite of franchise films vs a side character.
I'm 100% for equal pay, but both of these claims are just kind of absurd notions.
