Seth Rogen, Cristin Milioti, Noah Wyle and more react to Emmy nominations
The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards will air on CBS from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept. 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host.
Here are the reactions for some of the day's notable nominees:
Seth Rogen for 'The Studio'
"Being at this point in our lives and making a thing that has this type of attention is just so kind of novel in a lot of ways, and really exciting and thrilling and very validating in a way that I'm not used to being validated. — Rogen, nominated for best actor in a comedy series as well as writing and directing, in an interview.
Evan Goldberg for 'The Studio'
"My mother never wanted me to grow up to make a bunch of filthy R-rated comedies, but she is really proud today." — Goldberg, nominated for outstanding writing for a comedy series, in an interview.
Erin Doherty for 'Adolescence'
'What I love about this job is that when you do the work so wholeheartedly, even when you move on you learn lessons. If you just sit and listen, and let someone talk, that is such a gorgeous offering, and I don't think we do it that often. I'm trying to take that forward.' — Doherty, nominated for best supporting actress in a limited series or movie, in an interview.
Noah Wyle for 'The Pitt'
'I'm overjoyed that the nominations were spread across all the different departments as it reflects our collective effort. A heartfelt congrats to all my fellow nominees. I'm humbled and grateful.' — Wyle, nominated for best lead actor in a drama series, wrote in a statement.
Cristin Milioti for 'The Penguin'
'It's been so beautiful to see how many nominations the show has gotten. I'm so, so thrilled for my fellow cast and crew. It has been a really thrilling day...really wonderful.
'I had been wishing for a role like that for a long time and searching for one, and I just had the time of my life. You know, I connected with that character so deeply.' — Milioti, nominated for best actress in a limited series, heard about the nomination while running errands. She spoke in an interview.
Dan Erickson for 'Severance'
'I cannot begin to express how excited I am to return to the Emmys and see if the sunglasses I left in the bathroom 3 years ago are still there. — Erickson, who created 'Severance,' in a statement.
Jason Isaacs for 'The White Lotus'
'People wanted to watch it. They wanted to talk about it. They wanted to dress as the characters. They wanted to drink pina coladas. They wanted, they wanted to meet, you know, and watch it together.
Look, the real world, the clouds are gathering and it's not that easy to be in. It's complicated and challenging to be in and to stay sane and happy and it gave people a happy place to be. And so they just wanted to continue it and so expand it into the periphery of us and our private lives, which seemed a bit odd, but I get why. They wanted to stay talking 'White Lotus' stuff.' — Isaacs, nominated for best supporting actor in a drama series, said in an interview.
Tony Gilroy for 'Andor'
'I'm really happy to see that the technical side of our show got recognized and Michael Wilkinson and Luke Hall and the sound departments and the visual effects department. I thought that really got a little bit overlooked last time. I wish there'd been more for the actors. — Gilroy, nominated for best drama series and outstanding original music and lyrics, in an interview.
Stephen Graham for 'Adolescence'
"Poleaxed is a good word, is it not? (I'm) just so happy and so full of gratitude for the ensemble, for the piece itself as a whole, as a collective... Just the fact that there's not one specific person or there's no one specific thing, but each element has been acknowledged, and to be a part of such a wonderful ensemble, to me, is what it's all about. — Graham was nominated both for best actor and outstanding writing in a limited series or movie. He spoke in an interview.
Connor Tomlinson for 'Love On The Spectrum'
"That's amazing...I feel like a leprechaun on St. Patrick's Day.' — Connor Tomlinson, a reality star on 'Love On The Spectrum,' reacting in a video message to the show's five nominations.
Jenny Slate for 'Dying for Sex'
'I feel really proud, really proud of our show. Really proud of (show inspiration and producer) Nikki Boyer and all the work she's done. And I just feel so happy that this work came into my life. It's been one sort of happiness after another.
'Our show really allows people to think about choices they want to make for themselves so that they could have more, so that they could step into the form that they actually like see themselves in, you know, like be the person that they feel that they are, but are somehow kept from." — Slate, nominated for best supporting actress in a limited series or movie, spoke in an interview from her home in Massachusetts.

Stephen Colbert Gets a Visit From Jimmy Fallon, Jon Stewart and More Late Night Hosts After Cancellation — Watch
TV's late night hosts sure do stick together. On Monday's episode of CBS' The Late Show — the first since host Stephen Colbert revealed his show was being cancelled — Colbert got a quick visit from four of his fellow late night hosts: The Tonight Show's Jimmy Fallon, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart, Late Night's Seth Meyers and Last Week Tonight's John Oliver. More from TVLine Jon Stewart Rages Against Late Show With Stephen Colbert Cancellation, Declares: 'I'm Not Going Anywhere' Happy Face Cancelled at Paramount+ Outlander Spinoff Cast on Why Blood of My Blood Makes Claire's Journey in the Original Series Even More 'Tragic' In a parody of last week's viral Coldplay concert moment, Colbert brought out 'Weird Al' Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda to sing Coldplay's 'Vida la Vida' while the camera panned around the audience. The camera stopped on a few fans before landing on CNN's Anderson Cooper and Bravo's Andy Cohen; Fallon and Meyers; Adam Sandler and his Happy Gilmore 2 co-star Christopher McDonald; and Stewart and Oliver. After the camera stopped on a cartoon of President Donald Trump cuddling the Paramount logo and then discarding it, though, Colbert had to halt the tune, informing Yankovic and Miranda: 'Your song has been cancelled.' An animated "Donald Trump" was caught embracing Paramount during a Coldplay song on 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.' — (@TVLine) July 22, 2025 During his monologue, Colbert offered a profane response to Trump's gleeful reaction to the cancellation, turning to a fancy Eloquence Cam and bluntly telling the commander-in-chief: 'Go f–k yourself.' He also threw cold water on Trump's prediction that Jimmy Kimmel would be next, declaring: 'I am the martyr, OK? There's only room for one on this cross, and I gotta tell you: The view is fantastic from up here!' The cancellation of The Late Show was 'purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night,' CBS said in a statement last week. 'It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.' Many in the industry, however, point to Colbert's strong criticism of Trump, along with CBS' parent company Paramount agreeing to pay Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit related to 60 Minutes, as Paramount awaits FCC approval of its merger with Skydance Media. Colbert announced the cancellation on Thursday's episode, telling the studio audience: 'Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending The Late Show in May.' The audience, of course, loudly booed this news, and Colbert wryly replied, 'Yeah, I share your feelings.' Many others shared their feelings as well: Kimmel, host of ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, posted on Instagram, 'Love you Stephen. F–k you and all your Sheldons CBS.' Fallon also offered Colbert support: 'Stephen is one of the sharpest, funniest hosts to ever do it. I really thought I'd ride this out with him for years to come.' Meyers added that 'for as great a comedian and host he is, [Colbert] is an even better person,' and Oliver offered: 'I love Stephen, I love his staff. I love that show. It's incredibly sad… It's terrible, terrible news for the world of comedy.' Best of TVLine 'Missing' Shows, Found!

Can you ever expect privacy in public? Coldplay kiss camera saga tells us a lot about the answer
NEW YORK (AP) — When the 'KissCam' at a Coldplay concert landed on a couple who tried (but failed) to duck out of the spotlight, the internet immediately got to work. In hours, the clip was just about everywhere. Endless memes, parody videos and photos of the pair's shocked faces filled social media feeds. Online sleuths rushed to identify who was on camera. Artificial intelligence and software company Astronomer eventually confirmed that its CEO and chief people officer were in fact the couple in the video — and announced the CEO's resignation over the weekend. The incident's fallout has, of course, generated conversations about business ethics, corporate accountability and the repercussions that conflicts of interest among leadership can cause. But there are also broader implications at play in our increasingly online world — about the state of potentially being visible everywhere you go or tracked through 'social media surveillance." Experts say it's more and more common for moments that may have been intended to be private, or at least reserved to a single physical venue, to make their way online and even go global today. So in the era of lightning-fast social sharing and when cameras are practically inescapable, does being in public hold any expectation of privacy anymore? Is every experience simply fodder for the world to see? Cameras are everywhere It's no secret that cameras are filming much of our lives these days. From CCTV security systems to Ring doorbells, businesses, schools and neighborhoods use ample video surveillance around the clock. Sporting and concert venues have also filmed fans for years, often projecting playful bits of audience participation to the rest of the crowd. In short, the on-scene viewer becomes part of the product — and the center of attention. And of course, consumers can record just about anything if they have a smartphone in their pocket — and, if it's enticing to other social media users, that footage can quickly spread through cyberspace. Ellis Cashmore, author of the book 'Celebrity Culture,' proposes that the rapid fame of last week's KissCam moment probably answers a question many have been asking for years: 'Is the private life still what it was? And the answer is, of course, there's no such thing as the private life anymore,' he notes. 'Certainly not in the traditional sense of the term.' 'I'm not sure that we can assume privacy at a concert with hundreds of other people,' adds Mary Angela Bock, an associate professor in the University of Texas at Austin's School of Journalism and Media. 'We can't assume privacy on the street anymore.' Some version of the KissCam has long been a staple at big events — from timeouts during sports games to romantic songs played by artists at their concerts. It's easy to miss, but most venues have signs to inform the audience that they could be filmed during the event. What's been different in more recent years, experts note, is how quickly those moments can travel beyond the physical space where they actually unfold. That isn't only limited to what shows up on a jumbotron. Sometimes it only takes one person in the crowd to capture any interaction on their phone and post the video online — where it can zip around the world. 'It's not just the camera," Bock says. 'It's the distribution system that is wild and new.' Once something's viral, doxing often follows Then there's the second ring of exposure — what happens after the video or photos spread. Experts point to growing instances of social media users rushing to publicly identify, or dox, the people captured on camera — much like how quickly the internet committed to finding those involved in the Coldplay moment, for example. The LinkedIn pages belonging both to Astronomer's now-former CEO and chief people officer remained disabled on Monday, and The Associated Press could not reach either for comment. But it isn't limited to company executives. Beyond someone simply spotting a familiar face and spreading the word, technological advances — including AI — have made it easier and faster overall to find just about anyone in an online post. This can happen with videos and photos shared on social media each day, even if it doesn't go viral, experts warn. 'It's a little bit unsettling how easily we can be identified with biometrics, how our faces are online, how social media can track us — and how the internet has gone from being a place of interaction, to a gigantic surveillance system," Bock says. 'When you think about it, we are being surveilled by our social media. They're tracking us in exchange for entertaining us.' And of course, such moments can also impact people who were not actually on camera. As easy as it can be to be identified online today, the internet is notorious for cutting a broad swath or not always getting it right. That sometimes produces harassment of individuals not actually involved. At last week's Coldplay concert, for example, many social media users speculated that a third person seen near the two caught on camera was another Astronomer employee — leading to swarms of posts targeting her. But the company later confirmed that she was not at the event and said no other employees were in the video circulating online. For the now-viral moment, 'we can talk about what's right and wrong, and whether they deserved it,' says Alison Taylor, a clinical associate professor at New York University's Stern School of Business. Still, it's a 'very frightening thing to get a lot of abuse and harassment online,' Taylor notes. 'There are real human beings behind this.' It's hard to think that that these kind of viral moments will ever go away — and there are few legal restrictions to stop users from sharing clips of interactions recorded from anything from a concert to the street widely online. But on an individual level, Bock says it can be helpful to 'think before you share' and question whether something's really accurate. 'Social media has changed so much,' Bock says. 'But we really have not, as a society, caught up with the technology in terms of our ethics and our etiquette.'
