The dig closely resembles a viral tweet from 2021 (although we should point out, even in that case, one of the replies included a TikTok of another extremely similar Leo joke).
During a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, the comedian shut down any suggestion that she’d lifted the joke from social media. She said:

The presenters get a script too, of course, although sometimes they may go off book… to mixed results.
The 40-year-old then defended her reputation in general, saying:
Amy actually pledged to take a polygraph on joke stealing way back in 2016, when accusations of stealing jokes from fellow female comics made headlines. (For the record, lie detector tests are actually notoriously unreliable, but that’s a conversation for a different day!)
We can’t speak to Amy’s full career, but the Leo joke is pretty run-of-the-mill, so we’re definitely willing to give
