AceShowbiz - Seth Rogen took the stage at the Netflix Is A Joke Festival in Los Angeles for an event called "Seth Goes Greek," turning the Greek Theatre into a lively comedy arena. The show, held on Wednesday night, was part of a benefit supporting Hilarity for Charity, the Alzheimer's nonprofit co-founded by Seth Rogen and his wife Lauren Miller Rogen.
The lineup included notable names such as Jon Stewart, Sarah Silverman, Nick Kroll, Nikki Glaser, Eric André, Josh Gad, Michael Bublé, and Busta Rhymes, all appearing throughout the night. Seth Rogen curated the event by inviting performers he personally wanted to see, creating an eclectic and engaging atmosphere for the audience.
However, it was Seth Rogen's sharp remarks about Kanye West that quickly gained attention and went viral. During his set, Rogen joked about Kanye's controversial song titled "Heil Hitler," pointing out the irony and the public's reaction. He noted, "He had a song called 'Heil Hitler' and he's back. What's funny is I've said critical things about Jewish people; I think I got in more trouble than Kanye West did." As a Jewish comedian himself, Rogen reflected on the tension surrounding Kanye's antisemitic statements, adding, "I sometimes think what Adolf Hitler would think of the Kanye West song 'Heil Hitler.' I bet he'd be torn."
Jon Stewart also addressed the controversy during his performance. He criticized Kanye West’s public behavior, including the fallout from Kanye's partnership with Adidas and his attempts at public redemption. Stewart expanded his satire to cover topics such as antisemitism, MAGA politics, RFK Jr., Spencer Pratt's mayoral campaign, and former President Donald Trump, ensuring no major figure was exempt from his humor that night.
Despite the sharp roasts and biting commentary, the event remained focused on its charitable purpose. The Alzheimer's fundraiser successfully combined laughter and social critique, creating a unique evening of entertainment and advocacy. The Netflix Is A Joke Festival continues through tomorrow, promising more comedy and star-studded appearances.
