LOS ANGELES - It looks like Spike TV didnt find Clint Eastwoods joke about Caitlyn Jenner during the Guys Choice Awards taping on Saturday very funny.
A rep for the male-centered network said the reference will be cut from the telecast.
We will remove the reference in the version that will air, David Schwarz, Spike TV senior vice president of communications, said in a statement.
During the taping, while presenting San Andreas star Dwayne Johnson with a special award, Eastwood compared Johnson to other athletes-turned-actors like Jim Brown and Caitlyn Somebody.

If you scratch Clint's gnarly surface I would be shocked not to see the influence of religious zealotry underneath.
What a sad way to exit the stage, to be know forever not as a great actor and director, but as a religious, racist nut case....just sad.

Has the man ever meaningfully contributed to something NOT situated in a lawless semi-desert?
