Comedian Nathan Fielder has publicly criticized Paramount+ for its decision to remove an episode of his show, Nathan For you. The controversial episode, which originally aired in 2015, involved the launch of the Summit Ice apparel brand, a venture intended to commemorate victims of the holocaust.

The Episode’s removal

Fielder addressed the removal of the episode, stating that Paramount+ deemed the subject matter too sensitive. The decision to pull the episode was first implemented by the German branch of Paramount+ near the close of 2023.

The removal occurred amid heightened tensions between Israel and Hamas, leading to the episode being inaccessible in other european countries as well. fielder presented a graphic, described as ironic, illustrating the spread of this censorship across the continent and eventually worldwide.

Fielder’s Concerns

in a recent installment of The Rehearsal, Fielder highlighted a disparity in Paramount+’s search results. He noted that searches for anti-Semitism or Jews yielded minimal results, while searches for Nazi and Hitler produced numerous hits.

This conveys a worrying message to the Jewish community.

Paramount+ has not yet issued a public response to Fielder’s concerns.

Summit Ice: A Brand with a Purpose

The Summit Ice brand, central to the removed episode, was created as a response to a perceived lack of corporate obligation.Fielder’s intention was to create a brand that would raise awareness and provide support for Holocaust education.
