Held at the Greek Theatre in on Wednesday night, Rogen served as host for the event.
He led a star-studded lineup including Stewart, Eric André, Nikki Glaser, Michael Bublé, Josh Gad, Busta Rhymes and many more.
Rogen first joked that West, 48, would be joining them during the festival before commenting on the rapper's sold-out Los Angeles concerts despite his past attacks on the Jewish community.
'He had a song called 'Heil Hitler' and he's back,' he noted at one point during his show, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

'But seriously, f*** that guy. He was like, "Hitler we misunderstood, we've got to forgive Hitler,"' Stewart said of West during his set; West seen in 2024
'What's funny is I've said critical things about Jewish people. I think I got in more trouble than Kanye West did.'
He continued: 'I got a lot of s*** for what I said. I have no number one albums.'
At one point, Rogen also quipped, 'I sometimes think what Adolf Hitler would think of the Kanye West song, "Heil Hitler." I bet he'd be torn.'

Following the travel ban, West postponed a gig in France and his concert in Poland was canceled.
West has been attempting to put on a string of comeback performances in recent months, following the publication in January of a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal, in which he apologized for his antisemitic statements and attributed them to the lingering effects of a traumatic brain injury that he allegedly suffered in a 2002 car crash.
An hour and a half after sharing his terse initial statement, West returned to X with a lengthier post reiterating his desire to prove that he had changed his ways and made strides in his recovery.
'I know it takes time to understand the sincerity of my commitment to make amends[.] I take full responsibility for what's mine but I don't want to put my fans in the middle of it,' West wrote. 'My fans are everything to me[.] Looking forward to the next shows[.] See you at the top of the globe.'
