Jokes about Paul Walker made at the "Roast of Justin Bieber" will not air.
"Roasts often push the limits of good taste and we give the participants full reign to try things knowing we have the edit to shape the show," a Comedy Central spokesperson said in a statement Monday. "Sometimes the line is discovered by crossing it. The Paul Walker references will not be in the telecast."
At the March 14 taping in Los Angeles the late actor was referenced twice.

Comedian Jeff Ross aimed a joked at Ludacris using the rapper's own lyrics against him, saying, "'Move bitch! Get out the way!' That's what Paul Walker should've said to that tree."
Jeff's comment had the audience hurling boos at him.
