Overview
- Nathan Fielder revealed that Paramount+ removed a 2015 'Nathan for You' episode featuring the creation of his Holocaust-awareness brand Summit Ice, citing 'sensitivities' in the wake of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
- The removal decision originated with Paramount+ Germany and was later adopted globally, making the episode unavailable on the platform worldwide as of April 2025.
- Fielder's HBO series 'The Rehearsal' dramatizes his email exchanges with Paramount+ and critiques the decision through satirical reenactments, including a staged Nazi-themed war room.
- The episode underscores disparities in Paramount+ search results, with 50 results for 'Nazi,' 10 for 'Hitler,' and none for 'Judaism,' which Fielder argues reflects erasure of Jewish content.
- Summit Ice, launched in 2015, has raised millions for Holocaust education, with Fielder calling it his 'proudest achievement' despite the controversy surrounding its portrayal in the removed episode.
