Scott shares a nostalgic snap with Barinholtz (Sal Saperstein), reminiscing 'The Studio' with a humorous allusion

Groovy, Sal's recognition! 📺

Adam Freakin' Scott has added a side-splitting twist to The Studio's comedy lineup on Apple TV+. In a recent episode, ol' Adam throws a shoutout to his old pal Sal, VP of fictional Continental Studios, during an award speech, and didn't that start a hilarious trend? Ike Barinholtz's Sal started grabbing the limelight, and folks couldn't get enough.

Adam shared a nostalgic snap of him and Sal on Instagram, captioned "Me & Sal. Circa 2001" last week.

Now, Adam's character thanked Sal for helping him out back in the days by giving him a comfy couch to snooze on during the early days of his career. That's right, the Golden Globe award winner had some serious gratitude for Sal!

It drove Matt Remick, Sal's friend and boss (played by Seth Rogen, one of The Studio's creators), a little batty. Why wasn't he the one getting the shoutout in a Golden Globe acceptance speech? Poor mate was green with envy!

Not to be left out, Ike Barinholtz posted the photo on Instagram, with Seth commenting, "Damn, I can smell the couch from here."

It wasn't just them; Alison Brie, Chris Daughtry, and others couldn't resist the chance to thank Sal too. It's been a non-stop barrage of Sal love!

The Studio is currently streaming on Apple TV+, and guess what? It's been renewed for another hearty serving of laughs! The show knows how to leave you wanting more, just like that couch Ike's character gave to Adam. Aaamazing! 😅

By the way, the dynamic between Adam and Sal dates back to Episode 8 of the series. The hysterical Golden Globes episode shows that Adam and Sal have been mates for a while. Their friendship plays a significant role in the episode, with Adam thanking Sal during his acceptance speech.[1][2] This unexpected recognition sets off a chain reaction, with every subsequent winner thanking Sal as well, including Quinta Brunson and Jean Smart who both make cameo appearances. This thread of appreciation skyrockets Sal's character to brief stardom, momentarily making him the center of attention. [1][2]

The episode greatly enhances Sal's character by showcasing his ability to draw the spotlight, even if unintentionally. It also emphasizes Matt Remick's (Seth Rogen) personal jealousy, as he watches Sal receive the attention he craves.[1]

Overall, Adam and Sal's relationship adds a dash of humor and absurdity to The Studio, giving us a peek behind the curtain of Hollywood and showing us that fame can sometimes come out of nowhere.[2]
