Trump Jokes Go Missing From CNN’s Adam Sandler Kennedy Center Broadcast

‘Comedy elite’ is not happy about CNN broadcasting the Kennedy Center Mark Twain Award for American Humor—at least, according to Page Six.

On March 19, the Kennedy Center honored Adam Sandler with the annual award, and a week later, CNN picked the show to broadcast for the first time. And according to Page Six, “insiders were disappointed but not surprised” to see that the broadcast cut Donald Trump’s jokes. At least one comedian, Chris kicksis said to have been disappointed by the shortcomings to his film.

A One Rock joke that allegedly got lost from the broadcast called Trump’s gag payment to Stormy Daniels “romantic”; In another story, the comedian is said to have quipped that arresting Trump would only make him more popular. (The ceremony took place before Trump Indictment.) “We heard Rock wasn’t happy with the omission,” wrote Page Six.

However, the broadcast ceremony included Rock’s joke that Paul Pelosi (who sat in the audience) was “the only one who knew how I felt”—probably after Will Smith slapped him at the Oscars.

Other comedians whose jokes about Trump were supposedly not aired were David Spade and Dana Carvey. Spade is said to have said that Mark Twain himself couldn’t win the award that bears his name today because “the police woke up,” while Carvey impressed Trump and delivered criticism of Nancy. Pelosi.

Neither Spade nor Carvey were available for comment on Page Six’s report, and representatives for both comedians, as well as Rock, did not immediately respond to The Daily Beast’s request for comment.

Carvey noted one of the cuts on Twitter last week, though he didn’t seem particularly upset. “Unfortunately it was due to time that my part of Trump was cut, but now thanks to modern technology you can watch it here, right now,” the comedian wrote last week when he posted. an unwanted status line on Twitter. clip from night. “It’s like magic!”

On a conference call last year, CEO Chris Licht Report told the manufacturer that he wants the network’s hosts to stop calling Trump’s lies related to the election “The Big Lie.”

A representative of the Kennedy Center told Page Six, “The Kennedy Center and our producers from [production company] Done+Dusted are the sole decision-makers for what gets into both the live show and the final broadcast — not CNN.” Meanwhile, a CNN representative told Page Six that the jokes had been cut short.
