“They don’t care and, his girlfriend, is the shit.” ”Ĭo-host Robin Quivers was amused that Leo gave Amy the greenlight for the barb in question, which poked fun at his penchant for dating far younger women. “So, I told the Williams sisters, I told Will, I told. “To be honest, I did reach out to the people I was going to joke about to make sure it was okay with them because I’ve been burned too many times and I didn’t want the camera to cut to someone looking sad,” she said of her Oscar zingers.

Amy herself earned laughs from the audience and even Will when she cracked wise about the irony making a movie about Venus and Serena Williams-two of history’s most accomplished female athletes-only to center the story around a male, their father. Not every comedian who made a joke that night about the Smith family was physically assaulted, thankfully. “Everything that you’re afraid of happens to you while you’re on stage, and then you’re just desensitized, so you’re not shocked by anything.” Pre-Roast Protocol “The reason why Chris Rock could stand there, and get hit in the face, and then stay up there with composure and give his friend an Oscar is because he’s a comedian,” she told Howard. Amy suggested it was a result of his many years performing stand-up. Howard marveled at how Rock handled the whole situation on stage. “I don’t remember a time I didn’t think, ‘I love that guy,’” Schumer said of Smith, explaining that in the moment all she could think about was how he must be in “so much pain.” “It was upsetting for so many reasons and it was upsetting to everyone,” she concluded. She also admitted it wasn’t easy to watch Smith, an actor she’d long idolized, resort to violence. I think it was traumatizing for all of us,” she said, explaining that she counts Rock and Questlove-the musician and filmmaker who just seconds later won the award for Best Documentary Feature-as two of her best friends. People made fun of me for saying that it was traumatizing, but I don’t think it was traumatizing for me. All she could speak to was how the slap made her feel. Howard wondered if she’d replayed the moment in her head a million times or lamented how the showrunners handled the situation, but Amy admitted she was not sure herself what she would’ve done if the power had been in her hands.

“I had no thoughts of like how it affected me or my performance or anything. “It was a good show and then the slap happened,” Amy told Howard. Oh yeah, she also gave Howard the inside scoop on what went down behind the scenes when Will Smith took the stage at the Oscars and slapped her good friend Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about the actor’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
