Amy Schumer reveals the Alec Baldwin ‘Rust’ shooting joke she wasn’t ‘allowed’ to tell at the Oscars

Amy Schumer may have been “triggered and traumatized” by watching Will Smith slap Chris Rock at the Oscars, but the host had been prepared to joke about Alec Baldwin fatally shooting Halyna Hutchins on a movie set.

During a stand-up gig over the weekend, Schumer, doing her first set since co-hosting the awards show last weekend, ran through some of the jokes she says her lawyers scrubbed from her script, including barbs about James Franco and Joe Rogan, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

“‘Don’t Look Up’ is the name of a movie, more like don’t look down the barrel of Alec Baldwin’s shotgun,” she told the crowd at Las Vegas’ Mirage Theater.
