Oscars host Amy Schumer has shared the controversial Alec Baldwin joke she wasn't allowed to say at the 94th Academy Awards... as well as a few other juicy tidbits.

She also discussed that slap by Will Smith to Chris Rock after Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith's lack of hair, which has set tongues wagging ever since.

Schumer revealed what really went down in the lead-up to - and during - the Oscars in a stand-up comedy set at Las Vegas’ Mirage Theatre.

Referring to Smith as 'Ali' - referencing his performance as boxer Muhammed Ali - when she called the incident a 'bummer'.

“I was kind of feeling myself…and then all of a sudden Ali was making his way up,” Schumer said according to the Hollywood Reporter.

“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.”

She then ran down the list of her own too-taboo-for-TV gags.

“I want to preface these Oscar jokes by saying that my lawyer said not to say these," she told her Vegas audience.

"Don’t tell anybody and don’t get mad at me," she added, before turning her crosshairs on actor Alec Baldwin, who accidentally killed a cinematographer on the set of his new film Rust when a prop gun, which was loaded with live ammunition.

“'Don’t Look Up’ is the name of a movie? More like don’t look down the barrel of Alec Baldwin’s shotgun,” Schumer said.

“I wasn’t allowed to say any of that [at the Oscars], but you can just come up and [slap] someone.”

Schumer did manage to get in a bit on Don’t Look Up in her Oscars monologue however, telling those at the 94th Academy Awards: “‘Don’t Look Up’ is nominated. I guess the Academy members don’t look up reviews.”

During her set she also included some fiery barbs for Joe Rogan and the sexual misconduct allegations against James Franco.

It's not the first time the Oscars host has spoken about that slap, with Schumer taking to social media to call the incident 'disturbing'.

“So much pain in Will Smith,” Schumer added. “Anyway, I’m still in shock and stunned and sad. I’m proud of myself and my cohosts. But yeah. Waiting for this sickening feeling to go away from what we all witnessed.”
