In an interview with the Daily Beast, Schumer said she was honored, but didn't want to make the five-year commitment.
Schumer said she isn't in it for the money and isn't planning to start now.
Back in March, Grantland's Bill Simmons seemed to have a bit of insight when he tweeted if Comedy Central had caught Schumer a year earlier, maybe she would have jumped on board.
PS: I don't think Poehler or CK was realistic, but had CC caught Schumer a year earlier - very realistic. Now she knows she can make movies.
