Clint Eastwood's Caitlyn Jenner joke scrapped from Spike TV Guys Choice Awards
Clint Eastwood apparently went a little too far with the humor during Saturday's taping of the 2015 TV Guys Choice Awards in Culver City, California.
The 85-year-old director/actor was on hand to introduce Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and according to reports, during his intro, he said Johnson was among the athletes who have ventured into Hollywood -- much like "Jim Brown and Caitlyn somebody..."
Well, not everyone was laughing following Eastwood's comment about the Olympian-turned-reality TV star.
A Spike rep confirmed to USA Today that the Jenner mention will be scrapped from Spike's June 18 broadcast. "We will remove the reference in the version that will air," David Schwarz, Spike TV senior vice president of communications, said.
Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner, made her debut as a transgender woman on the July 2015 issue of Vanity Fair.
Earlier this year, Comedy Central pulled references made about late actor Paul Walker during the taping of its Justin Bieber Roast.
