Seth Rogen’s Onstage Roast of Trump Edited Out of Awards Show After Livestream: He ‘Single-Handedly Destroyed All of American Science’
Seth Rogen's joke that President Trump had "single-handedly destroyed" American science was edited out of the Breakthrough Prize awards recording.
Seth Rogen made an onstage jab at President Trump during the science-honoring Breakthrough Prizes on April 5, but viewers who did not watch the event’s livestream won’t be able to hear it. The organization’s “full” upload of the ceremony, and other official clips of Rogen’s appearance alongside Edward Norton, have been edited to exclude a quip about attendees at the tech-industry-originated event who have supported the current presidential administration. The Breakthrough Prizes confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter(a sponsor for the event) that Rogen’s joke was one of “several edits” to the show, arguing it was “made in order to meet the originally planned run time.” This seems unlikely, as the ceremony would not have had to conform to any broadcasting scheduling requirements, as it was not aired on television networks.
