Hollywood’s favorite funnyman, Seth Rogen, is still reeling from the jaw-dropping news that his Apple TV+ comedy The Studio has tied the record for the most Emmy nominations for a comedy series, racking up an impressive 23 nods for the 2025 awards.
Themeta-satire, which dives into the chaotic world of filmmaking, matched the record set by The Bear in 2024, leaving Rogen and his co-star Dave Franco in a state of gleeful disbelief.
In a recent interview, Rogen couldn’t contain his astonishment, saying, “It’s thrilling... Dave was like, ‘This was never on my radar.’ We’ve had a few very shocked conversations with everybody.” The nominations span major categories, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor for Rogen, and nods for writing and directing. Adding to the buzz, the show scored surprise acting nominations for industry heavyweights Ron Howard and Martin Scorsese, both earning their first-ever Emmy nods for guest roles. “I mean, Ron Howard and Scorsese? It’s wild,” Rogen quipped.
Fans on X are equally ecstatic, flooding the platform with praise for The Studio’s sharp humor and star-studded cast. One user posted, “Seth Rogen and co. just turned Hollywood inside out, and the Emmys are eating it up! 23 noms is INSANE.” Another called the Scorsese nod “the ultimate plot twist of awards season.” The show’s biting take on Tinseltown, combined with its unexpected awards dominance, has cemented its status as a cultural juggernaut.
As the September 14, 2025, Emmy ceremony approaches, all eyes are on Rogen and his team to see if The Studio can convert its nominations into wins. For now, Rogen’s infectious shock and the show’s record-tying haul are the talk of the town.
