Seth Rogen Is “Legitimately Embarrassed” by How Many Emmys ‘The Studio’ Won
Seth Rogen had exactly nothing to be embarrassed about on Sunday night. After winning best actor, best writing and best directing for a comedy series for The Studio, the Apple TV+ Hollywood-sendup series won best comedy at the 2025 Emmy Awards.
“It’s getting embarrassing. I really appreciate it,” Rogen said in accepting the biggie. “In all honesty… I’ll do my best attempt at sincerity here. If you watched our show, if you appreciated our show, if you voted for our show especially, thank you very much. I’m legitimately embarrassed by how happy this makes me.
“To be standing up here with all of these people — these are the best people I know,” he continued. “And to have them spend their days with me, working with me, is truly one of the great honors of my life.”
Even Apple CEO Tim Cook, in attendance at the Emmys, received a shoutout from the stage.
