LOS ANGELES - It looks like Spike TV didn’t find Clint Eastwood’s joke about Caitlyn Jenner during the Guys’ Choice Awards taping on Saturday very funny.

A rep for the male-centered network said the reference will be cut from the telecast.

“We will remove the reference in the version that will air,” David Schwarz, Spike TV senior vice president of communications, said in a statement.

During the taping, while presenting “San Andreas” star Dwayne Johnson with a special award, Eastwood compared Johnson to other athletes-turned-actors like “Jim Brown and Caitlyn Somebody.”

1. Clint has aged into a nasty and mean-spirited old man..n/t

[Fred Sanders]

2. Still speaking to any empty chair. If I had known before just how racist he was, and still is..I really can not

stand to watch any of his movies since that revelation.

If you scratch Clint's gnarly surface I would be shocked not to see the influence of religious zealotry underneath.

What a sad way to exit the stage, to be know forever not as a great actor and director, but as a religious, racist nut case....just sad.

3. Honestly Jim Brown has a five decade movie career Clint

which spans the era when black actors weren't exactly in demand and parts for them were very scarce. I'm sure Jim would have loved the acting, directing opportunities Clint had. Forget Clint not getting recent trends in LGBT community, he doesn't get old school racism. F' this guy.

4. Clint getting trends?

The only trend he ever got was: shooting guns.

Has the man ever meaningfully contributed to something NOT situated in a lawless semi-desert?

6. If your last sentence is about the movies

in which Eastwood appeared, he was in many films that were not westerns 'situated in a lawless semi-desert.

8. I stand corrected.

They seem to have passed me by.

He's still clueless.

5. was he talking to a chair?

9. No, this time it was a rocking chair. The viagra caused the recliner to blow a spring.

10. Well...somebody had to take the place of Charles "Pry My Gun From My Cold Dead Hands" Heston.

Looks like Dirty Hairy stepped up to the plate.
