Seth Rogen Talks Real-Life Inspiration Behind ‘The Studio’s Charity Gala Episode: “Ego Is A Very Powerful Thing In Hollywood”
Seth Rogen said The Studio's sixth episode drew from his own hurt ego, with the episode pushing his character's likability in a room full of doctors.
In last night’s episode of the Apple TV+ dramedy skewering Hollywood, the bumbling but well-intentioned Continental Studios executive attends a charity gala with his girlfriend (ahem, not for long), a pediatric oncologist (played by Rebecca Hall). As he finds himself out of his depth and off balance — metaphorically and quite literally — the event teeters into a display of full-blown chaos and second-hand embarrassment, given Matt’s (co-creator and executive producer Seth Rogen) determination to equate his work to that of saving children’s lives. Goldberg told Deadline that the script had to be altered to toe the line of propriety, ensuring the doctors at the gala were more derisive of Matt and his work in order for his reaction to be more palatable.
