Seth Rogen is hopping on the Pineapple Express to the winner’s station.
During the 2025 Emmy Awards, held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles Sept. 14, the “Superbad” star took home gold for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy for his role as Matt Remick in Apple TV+’s “The Studio” and made a hilarious reference to an old memory.
“I still could not wrap my head around this happening that I literally prepared nothing,” Rogan said during his acceptance speech. “I’ve never won anything in my life. When I was a kid, I bought a used bowling trophy at an estate sale, and my parents were like, ‘Yeah, that’s a good idea. You should probably buy that.'”
The 43-year-old — who bested fellow nominees Adam Brody, Jason Segel, Martin Short and Jeremy Allen Whit — also shouted out his wife Lauren Miller, his mom and his castmates, adding, “Thank you so much. This is really just so lovely.”
While Rogan had been previously nominated for five Emmy Awards, this trophy marks the Canadian’s first-ever acting Emmy. He was also nominated this year for Directing for a Comedy Series, Writing for a Comedy Series and Outstanding Comedy Series, all alongside longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg.

“The Studio” itself was the most nominated show at this year’s Emmys, receiving a total of 23 nominations, tying “The Bear” for the all-time record for most nominations for a Comedy Series in a single year.
Before the ceremony — hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze — Rogan and Goldberg shared how excited they were for the comedy series being exceptionally recognized by their peers.
“What the heck?!!” the pair said in a joint statement to E! News in July. “We never thought this would happen. What do we even say?”
And with their signature wit, they added, “Uh… thanks to our parents, our agents, our publicists, our preschool teachers, our managers, The Television Academy, our assistants, and Apple? Or do you only say that stuff if you win? Oh no! We’re already blowing it. Um… no comment!”
