Rogen and Goldberg's Mushroom Mishap: A Hilarious Hollywood Saga
8 Aug
Summary
- Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg accidentally overdosed on mushrooms before a major podcast interview
- The Studio's season finale featured a similar shroom-fueled mishap
- Rogen and Goldberg were able to hide their mushroom-induced state during the podcast
According to a recent article, Seth Rogen and his co-creator Evan Goldberg found themselves in a real-life situation similar to the one depicted in the season finale of their Apple TV+ series The Studio. In the show, the characters mistakenly ingest too many mushrooms before a major presentation, leading to a comical sequence of events.
Rogen revealed that he and Goldberg experienced a nearly identical scenario in 2013 while promoting their film This Is the End. The morning after the movie's premiere, the duo were scheduled to appear on Marc Maron's popular WTF podcast, but they had stayed up late the previous night consuming a significant amount of mushrooms. As they were being driven to the podcast studio, they realized they were still under the influence of the psychedelic drug.
Despite their altered state, Rogen and Goldberg somehow managed to complete the entire podcast interview, though Rogen has been too afraid to listen to the recording ever since. Interestingly, Rogen noted that he has been told he was able to hide his mushroom-induced condition, which he considers "bad for [him] as a person" as it means he could potentially be under the influence of drugs without anyone noticing.
The article also touches on the impressive list of A-list cameos featured in The Studio, including a surprise appearance by Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos. Rogen joked that Sarandos' cameo on an Apple TV+ series demonstrates how "unthreatened Netflix is by Apple."
