Nathan Fielder Turns Paramount+ Into Nazi Germany

In season two, the comedian paints the streamer as Nazi Germany — and launches a new era of Summit Ice.

In late 2023, he says, he discovered that Paramount+ Germany removed a 2015 episode of his Comedy Central series Nathan for You, “Horseback Riding / Man Zone,” from its streaming service after growing “uncomfortable with anything that touches on antisemitism in the aftermath of the Israel/Hamas attacks,” which led to Paramount+ offices across the globe doing the same. Fans of Nathan for You will remember “Horseback Riding / Man Zone” as the episode that launched Summit Ice, Fielder’s real outdoor-apparel company that has raised millions of dollars for Holocaust-awareness organizations like Vancouver’s Holocaust Education Centre. In case you need a refresher on the removed episode — which is still currently available to stream on Max — the Summit Ice storyline of Nathan for You begins with Fielder learning that his previously preferred brand of outerwear jacket, Taiga, had published a tribute to a Holocaust denier in a company newsletter.
