At the 2025 Emmys red carpet, Jason Segel told Entertainment Tonight that it was “the honor of my career” to act with Harrison Ford on Shrinking. He admitted that before every scene, he reminded himself, “you are about to do this Harrison Ford.” Segel’s words painted Ford less as a colleague and more as a cinematic deity, proof that sometimes Hollywood gives you legends instead of scripts.

The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards on September 14, 2025, unfolded less like a glittering red carpet spectacle and more like a high-stakes contest for cultural validation. Jason Segel stepped into the ring with a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, while Shrinking itself competed for Outstanding Comedy Series, turning Apple TV+’s therapy-fueled humor into a serious contender in Hollywood’s prestige playground.

But even with Apple TV+ storming in full force, Shrinking walked away without a single Emmy. The night’s comedy crown went to The Studio, while Hannah Einbinder (Hacks) and Jeff Hiller (Somebody Somewhere) claimed the supporting awards. Nominations had promised a therapy-fueled uprising, but Hollywood reminded everyone that recognition is selective, and sometimes even golden couches cannot secure golden trophies, no matter how cleverly the punchlines land on the red carpet.

While Shrinking went home Emmy-less, Hollywood quietly reminds us that even when the golden couches lose, nostalgia and old sitcom chaos are always ready to sneak back into our feeds.

Although the Emmy chapter is closed for Jason Segel this year, another nostalgic saga seems ready to knock on Hollywood’s velvet doors. Rumors swirl that the How I Met Your Mother crew could return, delivering chaos, heartbreak, and oddly specific life lessons nobody realized they needed. On Variety‘s Awards Circuit Podcast, Segel teased the idea with his signature mix of nostalgia and bewilderment: “That show changed my life, I would do anything they asked me to do.”

Life after Marshall Eriksen is equal parts absurdity and ambition. Jason Segel juggles Shrinking on Apple TV+, which he co-created, wrote, and executive-produced, alongside stints in Winning Time and films like Windfall, proving adulthood brings chaos, awards, and flash-forwards. While fans daydream about a reunion, Segel’s post-Emmy snub career whispers a subtle truth: capturing the perfect blend of humor, nostalgia, and existential life lessons is a performance that never truly ends.
