Seth Rogen's Onstage Roast of Trump Edited Out of Awards Show: He 'Single-Handedly Destroyed All of American Science'
https://variety.com/2025/film/news/seth-rogen-joke-trump-edited-out-1236370431/Seth Rogen’s Onstage Roast of Trump Edited Out of Awards Show After Livestream: He ‘Single-Handedly Destroyed All of American Science’
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.
“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science,” Rogen reportedly said in the since-cut remark. “It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr., very fast.”
