Overview

• On Oct. 6, Kimmel said on-air he checked and confirmed Rogen is not invited to present, with no new formal statement from the Television Academy cited.
• Rogen said he has not been asked back since going off-script in 2021 to question the ceremony’s safety and claim the event was not truly outdoors.
• He recalled producers were upset at the time, while executive producer Ian Stewart later defended the plan as approved by LA County with vaccination and testing requirements.
• For the 2021 telecast, the Academy reduced personnel and moved to an indoor–outdoor model at L.A. Live’s Event Deck as a COVID safety measure.
• Despite the reported presenting ban, Rogen and The Studio won multiple Emmys in September, including acting, directing and outstanding comedy series.
