Amy Schumer explains her prank on Kim Kardashian, Kanye West

Los Angeles: Actress Amy Schumer has opened up about the stunt she pulled in front of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West on the red carpet of Time 100 gala in April.

Speaking to Graham Norton on his show, the "Inside Amy Schumer" star says she thought it would be funny to give paparazzi a break from their obsession with the couple, reported Ace Showbiz.

"All the reporters were going crazy and it was Kim and Kanye, just standing there, owning it, being short and important," the actress/comedienne recalled.

"It's like being at a party and there's a hotter girl behind you. I think falling is the funniest thing, so I took a dive in front of them."

Before intentionally falling face-first at Kimye's feet, Schumer said she asked her publicist first.
