Appearing on "Opie with Jim Norton", Pescatelli apologised to Schumer, saying the "Trainwreck" star has 'every right to be mad', reported Entertainment Tonight.
"I said what I said, and it is probably, you know, parallel thinking. That does happen. I am no genius on that," Pescatelli said.
"I'm not breaking any new ground, as I've witnessed time and time again during my shows and especially on the Internet over the past couple days.
Pescatelli added that while she believes Schumer's jokes and those by herself and fellow comedians Kathleen Madigan and Wendy Liebman were too similar to write off completely as coincidence, she doesn't blame Schumer.
Earlier this week Schumer was accused of joke stealing, after a now deleted video appeared online comparing her material to that of other female comedians.
"I'm getting accused of stealing jokes and I wanted to come and talk to you about it and clear my name because I would never ever do that and never have. I would never, ever do that, and I never have.
"I have to come up with so much material for my TV show, this movie, stand-up. And I'm so careful. I will literally take a polygraph. And I just would never do that. That would be so stupid for me to do that.
