scrapped a grim joke about R Kelly from her Saturday Night Live monologue, after getting advice from Amy Schumer.

The 41-year-old , and targeted ex-husband , her famous siblings and even Corey Gamble in the opening segment.

However, in the latest episode of the Kardashians – which landed on Hulu and + tomorrow – the mom-of-four gave fans a glimpse into the jokes that didn’t make the cut.

In one scene, she paid comedian Amy a visit to discuss her hosting stint, where she ran through some of the jokes she had prepared with the help of Michelle Wolf.

At one point, she said: ‘I know I have privilege but I still struggle. Like most of the things that I wear, it’s really hard to pee. It’s like a whole ordeal.

‘Let’s put it this way, if R Kelly dressed like me, he may have stayed out of trouble.’

‘Oh my god…,’ Amy laughed at the comments.

Shaking her head, the actress insisted: ‘It’s too long. It’s a long way to go for like…’

In June 2002, the Chicago Sun-Times investigated a video tape which was anonymously left in the mail at a reporter’s home, allegedly showing the Ignition singer having sex with a teenage girl and urinating on her.

That same year, he was indicted in Chicago – he denied all charges and pleaded not guilty in court.

All of the charges, including intercourse, oral sex, urination, and other sexual acts, related to one girl.

However, a jury acquitted him of all charges, concluding that they could not prove that the girl on the tape was a minor.

Elsewhere in the episode, Amy also warned Kim against making a reference to her sex tape drama with ex-boyfriend Ray J, amid claims that ‘unreleased’ footage of the former couple was about to be L***ed.

‘Hey guys, it’s really great to be here hosting Saturday Night Live. I know, I’m surprised to see me here too.

‘When they asked, I said: “You want me to host? Why? I haven’t had a movie premiere in a really long time”.

‘Actually, I’ve only had that one movie come out and no one even told me it was premiering. It must have slipped my mom’s mind.’

After clarifying that the ‘movie’ was her sex tape, and the joke hinged on the theory that Kris was somehow behind the leak, the I Feel Pretty star suggested that she should steer clear.

‘I think I just wouldn’t do any sex tape stuff. This moment in time, this piece of art will live on and people might not remember…,’ she added.

While Kim followed Amy’s advice on the R Kelly comments, she kept the quip about the sex tape in the final cut, along with a controversial comment on OJ Simpson.

The Kardashians is available to stream on Hulu and Disney + now.
