Amy Schumer reveals that she got ‘death threats’ after her Kirsten Dunst seat filler joke at the Oscars.

“They were so bad the Secret Service reached out to me about that bit. I was like, ‘I think you have the wrong number. It’s Amy, not Will.’ The misogyny is unbelievable.” pic.twitter.com/htGk9ItGU0

revealed that she reached out before hand to a lot of the people that she made jokes about during this year's Oscars ceremony to know if they were OK with it, including the Williams sisters, Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend, etc.

Oh then you're just the tryhard coward we knew you were.

Would she have asked Halyna Hutchins' husband if her Alec Baldwin joke was OK 🙄

I thought that was interesting too. Cause comedians are supposed to unapologetic if they're the type to punchdown. I kept thinking "why don't you just go for it instead of being scared". I get the feeling she's more scared of burning bridges than making people sad.

The difference is that for a good comedian there is commentary behind the joke. But some people just think that being controversial is enough that why they're not funny (yet still get work for some crazy reason).

Amy, you wanted to make a joke about a woman getting killed, you want to keep crying about Will Smith not getting enough pushback?

[genbu_no_miko24]

Oh good point! I had forgotten about that! She cries misogyny but totally fine with making Halyna death a punchline.

Funny she mentions in the clip that she runs jokes to people who she's gonna mention in routine beforehand cause she's says been burned before. And that she doesn't wanna later see clips of someone sad or ruin their night.....so this is interesting.

She probably doesn't wanna burn bridges with the hollywood elites but a non-power player is not an issue for her.
