Seth Rogen Quips He’ll Skip Therapy After 2026 Critics Choice Win
Seth Rogen recently humorously addressed the importance of accolades during his acceptance speech at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards. Winning the award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, he expressed his appreciation for the recognition from critics and suggested that it might temporarily replace his need for therapy. Rogen quipped, “This is what I’m looking for. I can cancel therapy this week; this is like — I’m good. I’m fixed. I’m fine, I think.”
Seth Rogen’s Competition at the Critics Choice Awards
Rogen’s victory came amidst a competitive field. He was nominated alongside:
- Adam Brody for “Nobody Wants This”
- Ted Danson for “A Man on the Inside”
- David Alan Grier for “St. Denis Medical”
- Danny McBride for “The Righteous Gemstones”
- Alexander Skarsgard for “Murderbot”
The Studio’s Success
In addition to Rogen’s individual accolade, his show, “The Studio,” also secured the award for Best Comedy Series. Rogen humorously mentioned that his co-creator, Evan Goldberg, was absent during his win, stating, “he’s literally in the bathroom.”
“The Studio” had a successful run at the previous year’s Emmy Awards, winning 13 awards, including the Best Comedy Actor for Rogen. Reflecting on his past, Rogen shared a lighthearted memory about buying a used bowling trophy at a young age, claiming he had “never won anything” before.
Emmy Nominations and Future Plans
The show’s 23 Emmy nominations motivated Rogen, who noted how the recognition could facilitate future collaborations with guest stars. He remarked on the challenges of convincing guests to join the cast in the first season. Rogen emphasized that the awards would help alleviate concerns about their experience on the show.
Moving forward, he is optimistic that the recognition will enhance the appeal of “The Studio” and ease the process of bringing on notable guest stars for season two.
