In a parallel universe, we might have been talking about this controversial joke instead of the Will Smith slap all last week!
During Amy Schumer’s first stand-up comedy show following the Oscars at the Mirage Theater in Las Vegas on Saturday night, she revealed a joke about Alec Baldwin that she “wasn’t allowed” to say during the televised event — and it’s awful.
To explain the reasoning for telling a few banned jokes in the first place, the Life & Beth star felt compelled to rehash the unforgettable events of the 94th Academy Awards — as if anyone doesn’t know what happened at this point!

Sharing what it was like for her, as a co-host of the event, to see Will Smith storm the stage and slap Chris Rock midway through the ceremony, she reflected (via The Hollywood Reporter):
The bits included jokes about Joe Rogan and James Franco, but none was more jaw-dropping than a quip about the 30 Rock alum, who has been in the hot seat ever since he fired a prop gun on the set of the western Rust and killed Halyna Hutchins in October. Knowing full well she probably shouldn’t be telling the joke, Amy insisted:
Well, it’s a bit naive to think the joke wouldn’t make it to the internet — especially when it’s this out there! According to The Hollywood Reporter, the comedian continued:
Yeesh!

Those who watched the full awards show might remember that the 40-year-old did manage to squeeze in a much more PG Don’t Look Up joke, saying:
Suuuuuch a different vibe than the Baldwin joke! Can YOU believe Amy tried to get away with that?
