From Hollywood's goofy stoner to serious satire: the reinvention of Seth Rogen
Briefly

Seth Rogen's new show, The Studio, features him as Matt Remick, a middle-aged head of a Hollywood production company. Unlike the typical 'manchild' roles he has played, Remick strives for honesty and integrity in an industry rife with juvenile movie pitches. Rogen, who has matured personally and professionally over nearly two decades, showcases his evolved persona while challenging the notion that comedy's difficulty is a recent development. The series highlights the contrast between Remick's goals and the industry’s stagnant trends, reflecting Rogen's insights on contemporary challenges in the entertainment field.
Rogen portrays Matt Remick, a regular middle-aged man in Hollywood, striving to navigate a cynical industry filled with juvenile pitches while maintaining his integrity.
The complaints that comedy's harder now are invalid, Rogen argues; it may have been too easy before and hard work in entertainment is necessary.
