Seth Rogen Discusses Mind-Blowing Acid-Infused Experience At Dead & Company Sphere Concert

Actor Seth Rogen now considers Dead & Company his “favorite band of all time” and all it took was seeing the Grateful Dead offshoot once at Sphere in Las Vegas on a head full of acid. Rogen recounted the experience on Wednesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Jimmy Kimmel is currently on vacation. Kathryn Hahn, who co-stars with Seth Rogen in the upcoming Apple TV+ series The Studio, served as guest host from Monday through Wednesday. Hahn and Rogen were filming the show in Las Vegas when they went to see Dead & Co. at Sphere together.

“It was normal Las Vegas for the first week and a half, and then one day, our casino was filled with bald men with ponytails and tie-dye shirts. We were like, ‘Oh, The Grateful Dead is here,'” Rogen remembered. “I can’t speak for everyone, but I did a ton of acid, and then went to the Grateful Dead show with everybody, and with you. It blew my goddamn mind! It was really something.”

Kathryn Hahn had a similar experience. “I didn’t know any of the music and I danced the entire time,” Hahn revealed. “It was weird to hear a band for the first time – and then for them to become your favorite band of all time! ‘I don’t know this song but it’s the best song I’ve heard in my entire life!’” Rogen responded.

Watch Rogen’s appearance on Kimmel below with the D&C convo starting at the 2:50 mark:
