Seth Rogen's jokes about Donald Trump at Breakthrough Prize ceremony removed from YouTube
Actor Seth Rogen’s dig at Donald Trump didn’t survive the final cut of the 2025 Breakthrough Prize ceremony — at least not in the version streamed online.

Hollywood filmmaker-actor Seth Rogen took a swing at US President Donald Trump during the 2025 Breakthrough Prize ceremony, but if someone caught the event on YouTube, they’d never know it happened.

A week after the glitzy Oscars of Science took place in Santa Monica, US, fans who watched the official stream noticed something odd: parts of Seth’s speech were missing. Specifically, his scathing joke linking POTUS to the decline of American science was nowhere to be found in the video.


“It’s amazing that others (who have been) in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science,” Seth had said at the event, standing next to co-presenter Edward Norton, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. The two had just been introduced by host James Corden, and Edward had kicked things off with praise for the billionaire benefactors in the audience — including Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, and Yuri Milner — who help bankroll the $3 million awards.

Seth, drink in hand after reportedly enjoying a dirty martini backstage, didn’t hold back. “It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast,” he added, drawing awkward laughter and a hesitant response from Edward: “I’d say that’s a smattering.” Rogen replied, “That’s a smattering.”
