What happens when Amy Schumer tries out one of the most coveted jobs in the fashion industry?

See for yourself in the video below, as the Jewish comedienne swaps lives for a day with Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour — all we can say is that the result is pretty hilarious.

Schumer, who is the cover model for the magazine’s July issue, struggles with eating a minimal lunch and telling the difference between two seemingly identical shirts.

Meanwhile Wintour discovers she has a knack for comedy, as the audience during her stand-up routine repeatedly breaks into laughter.
