\n\tSeth Rogen And Evan Goldberg<\/a>\u2018s Apple TV+<\/a> show The Studio<\/a> is top of the comedy tree right now with a whopping 23 Emmy<\/a> nominations \u2013 among them, best comedy series, lead actor in a comedy for Rogen, writing, and multiple guest star nominations, including Ron Howard<\/a>, in the director\u2019s first ever Emmy nom.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing Tuesday morning\u2019s nominations announcement, Rogen, Goldberg and Howard chatted to Deadline about the show\u2019s impact and their hopes for what will come in Season 2 of the show following the calamitous career of studio head Matt Remick (Rogen).<\/p>\n

\n\tA hallmark of The Studio is its laundry list of big-name guest stars, from Ron Howard and Martin Scorsese, to Olivia Wilde, Zac Efron, Ice Cube and Sarah Polley.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy biggest fear is people are just going to be humiliated in the wake of working with us,\u201d said Rogen, \u201cso I think the fact that so many of our guest stars got these nominations is so thrilling because it mostly makes me feel like they didn\u2019t waste their time by doing our show.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGoing forward, given the success of the show, Rogen and Goldberg hope that signing up starry guest stars may be a little easier, although they have not yet landed one they had their eye on: Daniel Day-Lewis. \u201cWe haven\u2019t locked him in just yet,\u201d laughed Rogen. <\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, they have snagged Polley as a writer on the show for Season 2. \u201cWe walked out the writers room to come do this [interview],\u201d Rogen said. \u201cShe\u2019s working on the show with us as a writer of this season, it\u2019s really great. We\u2019re still figuring it all out. We have a lot of ideas and we are currently in the midst of trying to reach out to some big guest stars who would have potentially significant roles in some of the episodes. But this makes me just feel immense pressure and stress for the most part.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAsked how they planned to up the ante for the second season, Goldberg said, \u201cFortunately, the more pressure in our real careers and the more things that happen to us, the more it\u2019s fed into the studio system, our studio system. So we just had more fodder, every time things happened, and now the nominations \u2013 we\u2019ll make some joke about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile speculation has been rife about which real-life people the characters might be based upon, Goldberg said that most people who\u2019d approached them on the topic had it all wrong. \u201cThe funny thing is the people who things are somewhat based on seem not to be aware, and the people who things are in no way based on, think it\u2019s entirely based on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Season 1, Ron Howard was the first famous name guest star to sign on. He immediately loved the writing. \u201cIt is so well written,\u201d he said. \u201cThey do a lot of improv and stuff, but basically, it\u2019s there. It a little bit reminds me of the Arrested Development scripts. The actors had a lot of latitude to play and sometimes they came up with great bits, but it was foundationally hilarious and sharp. And I think that\u2019s the way the script was for The Studio.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHoward wanted to dig into the role. \u201cI know I do a lot of these cameos where I play myself, whether it\u2019s Arrested Development or or Only Murders in the Building. I said, \u2018Those are cameos and I don\u2019t always really like myself in them when I see them.\u2019 I said, \u2018I don\u2019t want to be cameo good, I want to be actually good.\u2019 And so I said, \u2018Who\u2019s directing?\u2019 And they said, \u2018We are.\u2019 And I said, \u2018OK, crack the whip.\u2019 Well, it turns out I really loved the material, worked very hard on it and they didn\u2019t have to crack the whip.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHoward said he would happily return for Season 2. \u201cIf I could possibly do another season, I would do it in a heartbeat,\u201d he said. \u201cThe whole thing was just kind of a gift. I felt like my three days acting there was kind of a vacation. Evan and Seth had to make all the difficult decisions and I just got to play a jerk for three days and with a brilliant cast and have a lot of laughs. So it was a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHoward also said that his character throwing a hat at Rogen was his idea. \u201cI tried it in rehearsal and everybody laughed, and especially Seth with his big guffaw, and they said, \u2018Keep it in.\u2019 By the time we rehearsed it and shot it a number of times to make \u2018the oner\u2019 work, he probably got pounded in the head about 15 or 20 times. I didn\u2019t go easy on him either. I fired that sucker square in his face.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Seth Rogen And Evan Goldberg\u2018s Apple TV+ show The Studio is top of the comedy tree right now…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13147,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[5896,12397,11643,88,12797,12647,12798],"class_list":["post-13146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-apple-tv","tag-emmy","tag-emmy-awards","tag-entertainment","tag-evan-goldberg","tag-ron-howard","tag-the-studio"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13146"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13146\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
