Spike TV to Cut Clint Eastwood’s Caitlyn Jenner Joke From Guys’ Choice Awards Telecast

Several jokes about the late Paul Walker were made during the taping while Walker’s “Furious 7″ co-star Ludacris was on the stage, and Comedy Central cut them out of the official broadcast that aired in late March.
