Seth Rogen's joke about Donald Trump at the 2025 Breakthrough Prize ceremony was edited out of the televised version. Rogen criticized tech bros who supported Trump, referencing the impact on American science. The quip, which alluded to Trump's alleged undermining of science, was deemed unsuitable for broadcast. While Rogen has been a vocal Trump critic, his comments sparked debate about the appropriateness of political humor in such a setting. The delayed airing of the ceremony further fueled speculation about the editing decisions.
