Seth Rogen joins “The League” for Season 3 premiere

I can imagine the thought process when the producers of The League were looking to cast the guest role of a pornographer named Dirty Randy. One of them undoubtedly said, “Let’s get a Seth Rogen type.” To which another responded, “Well, why don’t we see if we can just get the man himself.” All’s well that ends well, as the Season 3 premiere — airing tonight at 10:30 on FX — features Rogen as a professional smut peddler who helps the gang pull a prank on the long-suffering Andre by secretly shooting a skin flick in his apartment while he’s out. The episode, titled “The Lockout,” also shows Ruxin exalting in his Shiva Cup victory, and how the group dealt with the recent labor troubles that threatened the NFL season.
