[upbeat music] From the New York Times, this is The Interview. I'm Lulu Garcia-Navarro. At 44, Seth Rogen seems to be having the opposite of a midlife crisis. His series, The Studio, which he created, writes, stars in, directs, and produces, just won 13 Emmys, and is currently filming its second season. He also stars in and produces the very funny Apple TV+ show, Platonic, with Rose Byrne. His production company, Point Grey Pictures, has been banging out the hits, like the dark superhero series, The Boys, and his new movie, The Invite, directed by Olivia Wilde, has been generating a lot of buzz. So I wanted to talk to Rogen about how he went from acting in the quickly canceled TV show Freaks and Geeks as a teenager, to writing slacker movies like Superbad, to having one of the most prolific, wide-ranging, and successful careers in Hollywood. Here's my conversation with Seth Rogen.
