Amy Schumer reportedly took the stage for a stand-up performance over the weekend and shared jokes she said she wasn’t “allowed” to do for her Oscars gig, including a wisecrack about Alec Baldwin on the “Rust” set.
“I don’t even know what to say about the Oscars,” the 40-year-old comedian reportedly shared at her show at Las Vegas’s Mirage Theatre, where she called Will Smith “Ali,” reported Vanity Fair. The 53-year-old actor slapped Rock at the 94th Academy Awards show following the comedian’s joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head amid her hair loss battle.
“Like, I really don’t know what to say,” she added. “I have no jokes about it. All I can say is that I don’t know if you saw this, but Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. Did you read that in your newsfeed?”
“I was kind of feeling myself … and then all of a sudden, Ali was making his way up,” Schumer continued noting Smith’s 2001 film about famed boxer Muhammad Ali. “And it was just a f***ing bummer. All I can say is that it was really sad, and I think it says so much about toxic masculinity. It was really upsetting, but I think the best way to comfort ourselves would be for me to say the Oscar jokes that I wasn’t allowed to say on TV.”

The “Train Wreck” star also reportedly told her audience the following Oscars jokes she was told by her lawyer not to say, so “don’t tell anybody and don’t get mad at me,” reported Fox News.
Schumer reportedly made a joke about the sexual misconduct allegations against actor James Franco, who has denied them, and several jokes about Joe Rogan, though the outlet did not mention what those were.
She then turned her focus on Alec Baldwin’s shooting on the New Mexico film set where cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed on October 21 after a firearm Baldwin was holding discharged a bullet, as previously reported.
“‘Don’t Look Up’ is the name of a movie?” Schumer reportedly told the crowd. “More like don’t look down the barrel of Alec Baldwin’s shotgun. I wasn’t allowed to say any of that [at the Oscars], but you can just come up and [slap] someone.”
As previously reported by The Daily Wire, the “Life & Beth” star previously shared days after the Oscars she was still “triggered and traumatized” after Smith slapped Rock.
The 40-year-old stand up comedian was one of three hosts for the 2022 Academy Awards and apparently she’s still experiencing negative emotions related to Smith hitting Rock on national television. Schumer took to Instagram to express her thoughts on the matter. She admitted to being “triggered and traumatized” by the event, and said she was “waiting for this sickening feeling to go away from what we all witnessed.”
She wrote: “I think we can all agree that the best way to unpack what happened is to stream my series @lifeandbethhulu and see me on tour this fall. But for real. Still triggered and traumatized. I love my friend @chrisrock and believe he handled it like a pro. Stayed up there and gave an Oscar to his friend @questlove and the whole thing was so disturbing. So much pain in @willsmith anyway I’m still in shock and stunned and sad. Im proud of myself and my cohosts. But yeah. Waiting for this sickening feeling to go away from what we all witnessed.”
Smith has since apologized to Rock and resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences following “disciplinary proceedings” by the Oscars over his actions at the annual awards show.
