Amy Schumer revealed on the April 13 episode of The Howard Stern Show that her seat filler joke at the 2022 Oscars with Jesse Plemons and Kirsten Dunst resulted in death threats against her from people who thought she had "disrespected" Dunst (via Yahoo Entertainment).

The bit found Schumer mistaking the Oscar-nominated Dunst for a seat filler and kicking her out of her seat, much to Plemons' bafflement.
