Vanity Fair in an interview posted on April 4 that she had jokes planned about conservative podcast personality Joe Rogan, the sexual-misconduct allegations against James Franco and the “Rust” shooting by Alec Baldwin that resulted in the death of the film’s cinematographer Halyna Hurchins.Taking the stage at Las Vegas’s Mirage Theatre on April 2 as part of the Aces of Comedy series, Schumer said that the “best way to comfort ourselves” about what went down during the Oscars between Will Smith and Chris Rock was “would be for me to say the Oscar jokes that I wasn’t allowed to say on TV.”She then went into detail about the jokes she had planned, many of which she said her lawyer warned her against.“‘Don’t Look Up’ is the name of a movie? More like don’t look down the barrel of Alec Baldwin’s shotgun,” she said. “I wasn’t allowed to say any of that [at the Oscars], but you can just come up and [slap] someone.”Schumer was referring to the October 2021 accidental shooting death of Hutchins in which Baldwin pointed a prop gun in her direction and it fired, also injuring director Joel Souza in the process.And, of course, she backtracked a little to get into more depth about the slap heard around the world.
