Clint Eastwood Jokes About Caitlyn Jenner at Spike's Guys Choice Awards

Warner Bros.(LOS ANGELES) — A joke that Clint Eastwood made at Caitlyn Jenner’s expense during the taping of Spike TV’s Guys Choice awards will not make it to air.

Eastwood was introducing Dwayne Johnson during the ceremony, which was taped last weekend, when, according to reports, he referred to other athletes who became actors, mentioning “Jim Brown and Caitlyn Somebody.”

Jenner made her debut as Caitlyn on a Vanity Fair cover released last week.

Spike TV addressed Eastwood’s joke on Monday, confirming to ABC News in a statement, “We will remove the reference in the version that will air on June 18.”

Guys Choice, hosted by Empire stars Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson, will air June 18 at 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific time.
