Seth Rogen reflected on winning four trophies at the 2025 Emmys in September for his work on The Studio, though he joked that the victories weren’t that big of a deal.
During Monday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, host Jimmy Kimmel congratulated Rogen on the wins. “I’ve got a lot of Emmys. I went from no Emmys to a lot of Emmys in one night,” he said.
“It was lovely,” Rogen added of the wins, though he admitted his “temptation” was to let his “ego get carried away” after he walked home with the awards in the best comedy series, best lead actor, best directing and best writing for a comedy series categories.
“But then you remind yourself, like, I think Guy Fieri has, like, 40 Emmys at this point,” Rogen jokingly said. “So, you know, it’s a prestigious award, but it’s, like, it’s not like an Oscar or something like that.”
He continued the joke by adding, “Guy Fieri has no Oscars.”
While Fieri has been nominated for multiple Primetime and Daytime Emmy Awards, he’s only actually won once, in 2013 at the Daytime Emmys.
After Rogen reflected on winning his first four Emmys during the 2025 ceremony, he admitted he never thought he would win at the awards show. In fact, Rogen shared during his acceptance speech for best actor in a comedy series that the only trophy he’s ever had was a bowling ball trophy he bought at a rummage sale when he was a kid.
“I always said I wanted a trophy and my parents, rightfully, were convinced I would never win one,” he recalled with a laugh. “So they took me to a garage sale, like an estate sale, and I bought a dead man’s bowling trophy. And my parents were not like, ‘This is sad.’ They were like, ‘Yeah, this is probably your only shot to have a trophy. So you might as well buy this trophy that is, yeah, that a man once had.’”
However, on Kimmel, Rogen corrected the claim he made in his acceptance speech and shared that he actually won two trophies in 2007 and 2008 for the High Times stoner of the year award. “What’s sad though is that the award itself is a bong mounted on a little pedestal and I broke both of them,” he shared while laughing, adding that the trophies fell apart after he smoked out of them.
