Amy Schumer delivered a brutal joke about Alec Baldwin's Rust shooting in her all-new Netflix special.

The comedian certainly didn't hold back in her latest stand-up special for Netflix, Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact, which premiered earlier this week (13 June).

Schumer, 42, boldly included a joke about Baldwin and the controversial Rust shooting scandal that the Oscars were allegedly too nervous to air two years back. Check out the Netflix teaser here:

In the newly-released show, Schumer gets super candid about a whole host of subjects, from lasering her face, postpartum sex, her baby-naming disaster and even chewable Viagra.

Now that's what I call range.

In the segment, Schumer goes into quite some depth about Baldwin and the tragically fatal shooting on the set of Rust in October 2021.

The actor had been holding a gun on the film set which accidentally discharged, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.

Baldwin was later handed two involuntary manslaughter charges and accused of ‘many instances of extremely reckless acts’ by authorities. However, in April, all criminal charges against the actor were dropped.

In the hour-long special, Schumer, acting as one of the Oscar hosts, joked: "Don't Look Up is the name of a movie? More like don't look down the barrel of Alec Baldwin's shotgun.

"I wasn't allowed to say any of that, but you can just come up and [slap] someone," she said, making a reference to the infamous and highly-publicized moment when Will Smith walked onto the stage and slapped Chris Rock across the face.

And that wasn't the only time Schumer laid into the actor during the stand-up gig.

She also hit out at 'sociopath' Hilaria Baldwin, who is married to the 30 Rock star, over her 'pretend' Spanish roots.

The comedy bit started when Schumer asked the audience if they knew who Hilaria was, while pronouncing her name in a Spanish accent.

Hilaria, who is also a yoga instructor, has been accused for quite some time of impersonating 'a Spanish person', with one Twitter user first calling her out two years ago.

All criminal charges against Baldwin have since been dropped.

The mother-of-seven later addressed the claims on her own social media where she told her followers that, while she was born in Boston, she 'grew up spending time with [her] family between Massachusetts and Spain'.

Schumer began her roast by recalling the moment she first met Baldwin 'years ago', whilst the pair were backstage at Saturday Night Live.

The comedian claimed that when Baldwin introduced herself to Schumer, she did so with a 'very thick Spanish accent'.

"I’m Hilaria, from España," said Schumer, mimicking the allegedly fake accent.

And the tongue-in-cheek roast didn't stop there as the Trainwreck actor went on to reference the Baldwin family - namely their very apparently Spanish-sounding names.

She said: "They have a von Trapp amount of children, and they named them all, I’m not sure, but very Spanish names like Jamón, Croqueta, and Flamenco."

Schumer continued: "And all of this would be fine and beautiful, except that ‘Hilaria from España’ is actually Hillary from Boston.

"This woman is in no way Spanish. Her parents are not from Spain. No one in her life is from Spain."

Alec Baldwin has seven children with his wife Hilaria.

Explaining that she was not 'trying to bully a sociopath', Schumer later suggested that Baldwin’s 'Spanish' accent could have developed after she visited Spain.

She said: "I’ve been lucky enough to go to Spain. Some of you have been. It’s great, right? Don’t you love it? I loved it, too.

"But Hillary from Boston, f***ing LOOOVED it."

Wrapping up the Baldwin segment, Schumer resolved: "My point is that all evidence points to this woman, since she met her husband, has straight up pretended to be from Spain. And her husband shot someone.

"My point is, neither of them give a f*** find someone who can stand you."

The stand-up special, Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact, is currently available to stream on Netflix.
