And the award for most controversial hosting might just go to Amy Schumer.

The funny lady and native New Yorker, 40, opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about the “couple risks” she plans to take while emceeing the Academy Awards later this month with Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall.

The “Trainwreck” scribe and star said that while she pitched some “p---y jokes,” they likely won’t end up on the ABC broadcast, in part so she won’t get sued.

“I emailed my lawyer about two jokes the other day, and he was like, ‘No!’” Schumer said.

One of those bits that won’t make it in begins with: “My husband is going down on me, or as he calls it, ‘Squid Game.’ So, he’s in my ‘Nightmare Alley’...”

Schumer noted that when she was running ideas by Oscars producers, they were silently shocked.

“I was like, ‘Can you guys hear me?’” she told the magazine, assuring the outlet that she will probably take “a couple risks.”

Chris Rock, who is both friends with and mentors the comedian, told the outlet that by bringing on Sykes, Hall and Schumer to emcee, the network was opting for a roller coaster over a tram.

“You get a little scared on roller coasters, they make you throw up sometimes, but when it’s all over, you’re like, ‘Man, I can’t wait to do that again,’” he told the magazine.

The ceremony is scheduled to be held on March 27 at the Dolby Theatre.
