Overview

  • In late 2023, Paramount+ removed the Summit Ice episode of 'Nathan for You' globally, following initial objections from its German division over Holocaust-related content after the Israel-Hamas attacks.
  • The episode, which promoted Fielder’s Summit Ice brand, was originally created to raise awareness of Holocaust remembrance and has since raised millions for related education initiatives.
  • In Season 2 Episode 2 of 'The Rehearsal,' Fielder stages elaborate reenactments, including a mock Nazi-style war room, to critique the decision and address censorship of Jewish expression.
  • Fielder accuses Germany of overcompensating for historical guilt by censoring Jewish voices, while an actor portraying a Paramount+ representative challenges Fielder’s sincerity and methods.
  • Although the Summit Ice episode remains unavailable on Paramount+, it can still be viewed on alternative platforms like Max and Prime Video.
