Amy Schumer Pitched The Idea Of President Zelenskyy Making A Cameo Appearance At The Oscars

March 22, 2022 / Posted by:

The Oscars finally chose its hosts for the 94th Academy Awards, choosing hilarious queens Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes, and also Amy Schumer. But the Oscar people really got what they paid for, as Amy is already bringing the fuckery. Amy recently revealed that during an Oscars pitch meeting, Amy suggested President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appear via satellite or in a pre-taped video segment. Bitch… when I say: “He ain’t got time for that,” I mean: “HE REALLLLLLLLLY AIN’T GOT TIME FOR THAT!”

The 2022 Oscars will air Sunday, March 27 on ABC and presenters include Daniel Kaluuya, Anthony Hopkins, Youn Yuh-jung, John Travolta, Mila Kunis, Naomi Scott, Wesley Snipes, Simu Liu, Uma Thurman, Rami Malek, Elliot Page, Tiffany Haddish, Jennifer Garner, Lily James, Ruth E. Carter, John Leguizamo, Kevin Costner, Lady Gaga, Rosie Perez, DJ Khaled, Shaun White, Kelly Slater, Tony Hawk, H.E.R., Zoë Kravitz, and Chris Rock. And the band will be made up of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, Sheila E., and jazz pianist Robert Glasper. But there’s one big name missing from the list: President Zelenskyy.

Apparently, President Zelenskyy is going to ask Putin to press pause on his invasion of Ukraine so President Zelenskyy can talk to a bunch of rich Hollywood celebrities at the Oscars. At least, that’s how Amy Schumer’s brain seems to work. In an episode airing on Thursday, Amy talked to Drew Barrymore on The Drew Barrymore Show about hosting the Oscars and said she wanted to get President Zelenskyy on the show since he’s an actor and performer. via ET Canada: 

“I think there is definitely pressure in one way to be like, “This is a vacation, let people forget we just want to have this night,” but it is like, “Well we have so many eyes and ears on this show”… I think it’s a great opportunity to at least comment on a couple of things. I have some jokes that kind of highlight the sort of current condition. I mean, there are so many awful things happening that it seems hard to focus on which one.”

“I actually pitched, I wanted to find a way to have Zelenskyy satellite in or make a tape or something just because there are so many eyes on the Oscars. I am not afraid to go there, but it’s not me producing the Oscars.”

Here’s a preview of Amy on Drew:

Now see, when Anne Hathaway said she has no advice for the new hosts after her disaster year (which was more James Franco‘s fault than hers), I don’t think that she was talking about this. I think if Anne knew about this, she would look at Amy and go, “My advice to you is… STOP.”
