How ‘The Studio’ Creators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg Seduced (and Skewered) Hollywood
The stress on display in The Studio isn’t always artifice. Just off camera from the chaos of cringe into which Seth Rogen’s beleaguered film executive is thrown, the creative team undertook some borderline masochistic shoots — while juggling a circus of A-list cameos.
“The most pressure I felt was that we’d convinced all of these people to come on our show,” says Rogen, the Apple TV+ comedy’s star and co-creator. “Some of them we know very, very well. Some of them we didn’t know at all. I just wanted them to be happy with this experience.”
Adding to that pressure, most of the guest stars showed up to the first season of the Hollywood satire to play themselves under heightened circumstances. Zoë Kravitz overdosed on psychedelic mushrooms. A weeping Martin Scorsese collapsed into Steve Buscemi’s arms. Ron Howard being a dick. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos even popped up...
Cancellation, Conspiracies, Cocaine: Jamie Foxx, Sarah Silverman, Seth Meyers Let Loose on THR’s Stand-Up Comedy Roundtable
Their latest specials tackle themes of death (Sarah Silverman), loneliness (Roy Wood Jr.) and a stroke that nearly ended Jamie Foxx‘s life. But gather this sextet — which also includes Chelsea Handler, Hasan Minhaj and Seth Meyers — around a table with a few old-fashioneds, and the mood is anything but bleak. Over the course of an hour, the Stand-Up Emmy Roundtable covered everything from clones to cocaine to cancellation.
Looking back, what was your most combative or hilarious post-joke encounter?
JAMIE FOXX (NETFLIX’S WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS …) I did an Oprah joke …
CHELSEA HANDLER (NETFLIX’S THE FEELING) That didn’t go well?

FOXX No, it was great. When we did Ray, my management, they’re from Oakland, but those motherfuckers started talking in English accents, like, “Well, we’ve won the Oscar now …” But I wanted to go back to doing stand-up, and there was this rumor...
Diller Speaks: Hollywood’s Most Fearsome Legend Bares His Soul
Barry Diller has one request before settling in on his living room sofa for a two-and-a-half-hour interview about the juicy revelations in his new tell-all memoir, Who Knew. “Don’t write about my house,” he says. “Don’t describe the decor.”
Photographed by Daniel Prakopcyk
Consider it done. No mention here of the serene, unostentatious Beverly Hills mansion tucked behind a gate, the site of his annual Oscar party. Not a word about the furnishings, some of them chosen by his late friend Sandy Gallin — the manager to Michael Jackson and Dolly Parton and charter member of what Mike Ovitz once dickishly derided as the “velvet mafia.” Color schemes? Fabric choices? Forget it. This is a safe space.
Everything else, though, is fair game. Diller’s marriage to Diane von Furstenberg. His romantic entanglements with men over the years. His close alliances and...
Why Does Martin Scorsese Have Beef With ‘The Sopranos’?
Martin Scorsese is not a fan of The Sopranos.
That intel come from Sopranos creator David Chase himself, who appears on The Hollywood Reporter‘s It Happened in Hollywood podcast along with filmmaker Alex Gibney, director of the 2024 doc Wise Guy: David Chase and The Sopranos.
In the doc, Chase says, “Marty Scorsese doesn’t like the show. He said, ‘I don’t get it – it’s like all these trees and shit.’”
Chase goes on to postulate that the Goodfellas director couldn’t identify with a mafia epic told in the sprawling, wooded suburbs of New Jersey, as opposed to one set in the urban jungles of New York City, where Scorsese grew up.
On the podcast, I bring up the moment, asking Chase, “Was really not a fan of The Sopranos? Did he ever go on the record to say that?”
“Yes, he did,” Chase replies.
Scorsese said as much in a 2019 interview with Sight...
‘Awards Chatter’ Pod: Diego Luna on ‘Andor,’ Gael García Bernal and ‘Y Tu Mamá También’ 25 Years Later
Diego Luna is a gifted Mexican actor, producer and director who has been appearing in front of cameras for almost all of his 45 years. Every bit as much as Jean-Pierre Leaud was the face of the French New Wave, Luna became, with his close friend and frequent collaborator Gael García Bernal, one of the faces of the New Mexican Cinema, helping to bring to life the visions of a generation of master filmmakers from his country, while also enjoying great success internationally.
For his portrayal of Cassian Andor, a Rebel Alliance captain and intelligence officer, in the second and final season of the acclaimed Disney+ drama series Andor, a prequel to the first of the stand-alone Star Wars films, 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, in which he also starred, the two-time Golden Globe Award nominee and Critics Choice Award nominee is now poised...
How Kristi Noem Could Become the New Jeff Probst
Who Wants to Be an American?
Being a member of the president’s Cabinet has always come with perks: VIP flights with no TSA lines, a fleet of chauffeur-driven SUVs and a personal security detail straight out of Men in Black. But now, in the Trump White House, one member of the administration may be getting a whole new sort of fringe benefit — her own reality show.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made scads of headlines recently when Daily Mail reported that her department was considering a pitch for The American, a reality series in which migrants would compete on live TV for U.S. citizenship. “My dream is to do every episode in a different state,” producer Rob Worsoff told a dumbfounded-looking Kaitlan Collins on CNN. “Like, if we’re in New York, we’re doing a pizza-making challenge. If we’re in Florida,...
