#SethRogen may have stirred controversy at the #BreakthroughPrize ceremony earlier this month, after a joke about Trump-supporting billionaires in the audience was edited out of the event’s YouTube stream. #JohnIadarola and #BrettErlich break it down on #TheDamageReport.

“Reportedly, to meet a planned runtime - though the event wasn’t televised.”

Good save, #BreakthroughPrize 🙄

Good for #SethRogen, or as I call him, the Good #Rogan. People who think there’s any neutrality are deluded; #Trump himself would confirm that for you, as well.

"It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science... It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and R.F.K. Jr. very fast.” - #SethRogen
