鈥淚t鈥檚 stuff you guys haven鈥檛 heard of, but actually, Catherine won not one, but two Golden Antlers for her work as Mama Morissette in the 鈥楢lanis Morissette Story,鈥欌�� joked Rogen, as O鈥橦ara replied, 鈥淲hat about you and your brave Golden Antler win for your turn as young Ryan 鈥� in 鈥楪osling,鈥� the Ryan Gosling unauthorized biopic?鈥�

鈥淭hank you. It was unauthorized and, uh,鈥� Rogen began to say before a long bleep censored most of his answer.
