The Man Who Canceled Freaks And Geeks Defended His Decision To Seth Rogen At SNL Seth Rogen got the chance this weekend to do what many Freaks and Geeks fans have wanted to do for years: confront the person responsible for its unjust cancellation and ask what the hell happened. When Rogen and his wife, Lauren Miller, joined HuffPost Live on Monday to discuss their advocacy work for Alzheimers patients and their Hilarity for Charity event, host Marc Lamont Hill also took the time to ask about a tweet that Rogen wrote over the weekend: Last night I was in a room with the dude who cancelled Freaks and Geeks. And yes, I did totally call him out on it. — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) October 12, 2014 It all went down at this weeks episode of Saturday Night Live, where Rogen and his wife were hanging out with Paul Rudd when Rogen pricked up his ears at a particular name. I overheard someone say the name of the guy who canceled Freaks and Geeks. I know his name, obviously, because weve talked about how stupid he is for the last 15 years, Rogen said. Rogen didnt name the executive, but it seems he meant Scott Sassa, the former president of NBC West Coast who spoke about his decision to cancel the show in a Vanity Fair feature last year. Rogen took the chance to talk about that fateful decision. He was like, You know, Judd [Apatow, Freaks and Geeks executive producer] wouldnt listen to my notes. I was like, The notes probably were stupid, Rogen said. He oddly dug in and kind of tried to justify it.Find out what kind of network notes Apatow ignored in the clip above, and catch the full HuffPost Live conversation here.Sign up here for Live Today, HuffPost Lives new morning email that will let you know the newsmakers, celebrities and politicians joining us that day and give you the best clips from the day before!
