Seth Rogen Lands The 'Tragic' Job Of Studio Head

For sure. I'd say that episode has more actual conversations that we've had to sit in rooms and watch than most of the episodes. And what's funny about it is it's like all people care about is the perception. They themselves have no ideological... like thing that they are trying to get across and they don't care at all. They just don't want to look bad.

And that is the thing that we would notice the most when these types of things came up was that like, oh, no, none of these people care. They just don't want to look bad.

It's not a thing we got made, but it was like we were making a comic book and there was an alien character. The alien had been traditionally voiced by someone of a certain race. And so all of a sudden that became a big topic of conversation. It was like, what race is this alien? And we kept being like, well, it's an alien.

But it didn't matter because in people's heads there was a certain race ascribed to the alien due to the voice. That people associated with the alien. And then we were like, well, is that racist? And so that was something in the last few years where, again, I found just a lot of people having at the end of the day, no one involved cared. No one could be like, you know what?

I strongly believe that it should be this. It was just like, what maybe will people yell at?

Yes, that happens a lot. I've been there as well. I've had people call me and ask me Jewish things before. It's happened to me. I've been that person. Or like in a writer's room, like I worked on the show and declared a long time ago, and there was two female writers who were a team, Jenny Conner and Allie Rushfield, who I'm still both good friends with and are both still very successful writers.

But as the only women writers, that was like always, and they would always hate it. It would be like, don't do this. This is so annoying. They'd be like, well, as a woman, what do you think of the woman's story? And they'd be like, I don't know. Like, I'm just a writer on the show. I have to be like the spokesperson for all women every time there's a question about this stuff.
