Comedian Seth Rogen recently revealed that he has been “banned” from hosting the Emmy Awards, as the 43-year-old comedian, whose show The Studio has achieved historic success and won 13 awards at this year’s ceremony, has not hosted the ceremony since 2021.
During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Rogen said, “I performed and was not invited again, during the Corona pandemic,” and Seth indicated that the producers lied to him by claiming that the concert would be held outdoors due to the crisis.
The Superbad star admitted that some Emmy producers were “visibly angry” at the end of his monologue, while Jimmy confirmed that he was “banned” from hosting the ceremony in the future.
Jimmy Kimmel’s statements
In a funny appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, American journalist Jimmy Kimmel (57 years old) revealed the behind-the-scenes moment when he learned that ABC had decided to stop his program Jimmy Kimmel Live! About broadcast.
Kimmel said: “It was about three o’clock, and an hour and a half before the show was taped, I was in my office when I received a call from ABC asking to speak with me. I could not find a private place to talk except the bathroom.”
He added: “They told me that they decided to pull the program from the air because they were worried about what I would say in the episode, and they wanted to calm the atmosphere. I started to express my objection, but they held a vote, and I lost the vote.”
Jokingly, Kimmel continued, “I put my pants back on and went out to tell the production team about the decision. My face was so pale that my wife said I was whiter than comedian Jim Gaffigan.”
The presenter of the program Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Previously, he felt for a moment that his career was over, saying, “I said to myself: It’s over… I thought I would never return to the air again, while the audience was sitting in their seats waiting.”
