Overview

• The Apple TV+ satire won 13 Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Lead Actor for Seth Rogen, and writing and directing honors.
• Despite a popular episode gag, no winners thanked the fictional executive Sal Saperstein during the broadcast.
• Backstage, Rogen said they skipped the reference because it was their own joke and it felt wrong to echo it on the awards stage.
• Ike Barinholtz, who plays Sal, lost Supporting Actor to Jeff Hiller, with cast members joking they were tired of thanking Sal.
• Rogen said he will follow up with potential guest stars for Season 2 and noted Apple CEO Tim Cook told him he is a fan.
