There are examples on YouTube of laughter tracks being removed and there are lots of awkward pauses, so I think you'd need to edit the video to cut the pauses out entirely.
Cutting the pauses will change the beats and rhythm of the scene, so you probably need to edit some of the voice lines and actual scenes too then. In the end, if you're not interested in the original performance and work, you might as well read the script instead and imagine it however you want, read it at the pace you want and so on.

And have a video model render an entirely new version for you, I guess.
