Seth Rogen regrets joking about James Franco's sexual misconduct allegation on SNL, says he has "no plans" to work with him again

Variety

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Rogen said that he stopped working with his longtime collaborator and Freaks and Geeks co-star since sexual misconduct allegations against him emerged in 2018 -- despite saying at the time he'd still work with Franco. Rogen also expressed regret for his 2014 SNL monologue joking about a 17-year-old girl’s allegation that Franco had direct messaged her on Instagram to meet up. “What I can say is that I despise abuse and harassment and I would never cover or conceal the actions of someone doing it, or knowingly put someone in a situation where they were around someone like that,” Rogen told the Times. “However, I do look back at a joke I made on Saturday Night Live in 2014 and I very much regret making that joke. It was a terrible joke, honestly.”
