People who tuned into Thursday’s Judge Judy were treated to a delightful — and slightly confusing — surprise: Amy Schumer was there!

But Amy was not, like, actually featured in the episode. She was just kinda…there?

And Judge Judy never once acknowledged that one of the world’s most famous comedians was currently in her courtroom???

Amy quickly took to Instagram to confirm that the audience member in question was, in fact, her.
«Hell yeah! You know I was in the audience on #judgejudy,» she captioned the post. «My sister and I sat in on the cases for the day because we love her!!!!!»
She even posted a video of her sitting in Judge Judy’s seat to prove it.
Of course, anyone who follows Amy on Instagram may have already known about this cameo. The episode was filmed back in May, and Amy posted a few shots from set at the time:
Moral of the story: You’re never too big or too famous to be an extra on daytime TV.
Extra, indeed.
