C-SPAN released its [top 10 most viewed videos of 2014](http://www.c-span.org/blog/?3823 "undefined"), and Rogen’s speech at a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing on Alzheimer’s disease in February topped the list. The actor managed to trample on any sense of decorum within the first two minutes of his testimony: “You told me you never saw _Knocked Up_, Chairman, so that’s a little insulting,” he says to Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa). To which Harkin replies, “I want the record to note that I will wager this is the first time in any congressional hearing in history that the words ‘knocked up’ have ever been used.” The rest of the top 10 clips include everything from brothers Brad and Dallas Woodhouse getting an unexpected call from their mother as guests on Washington Journal to a former college football player testifying about college athletics and academics. But there are some other 2014 C-SPAN gems that didn’t make the top 10: there’s the infamous [fainting intern](http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4501820/fainting-intern "undefined"), that time Rep. John Mica (R-Florida) [held up a fake joint](http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4497978/rep-john-mica-joint "undefined") during a marijuana policy hearing, or when Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nevada) [got upset about missing the end of the World Cup](http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4503089/sen-reid-misses-world-cup-shootout "undefined"). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3651165/seth-rogen-alzheimers-congress/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3651165/seth-rogen-alzheimers-congress/"},"headline":"This Was Seth Rogen's Other Infuriating Performance This Year","datePublished":"2014-12-31T19:35:41.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T03:12:50.407Z","description":"C-SPAN released its top 10 most viewed videos of 2014, and Rogen's speech at a Senate hearing on Alzheimer's topped the list.","url":"https://time.com/3651165/seth-rogen-alzheimers-congress/","keywords":["Congress","Seth Rogen"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/congress/","name":"Congress"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3651165/seth-rogen-alzheimers-congress/","name":"This Was Seth Rogen's Other Infuriating Performance This Year"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Seth Rogan on Alzheimer's","description":"Seth Rogan on Alzheimer's","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/H6BdSId2/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-12-31T18:24:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/H6BdSId2.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3651165/seth-rogen-alzheimers-congress/","duration":"PT18S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3651165/seth-rogen-alzheimers-congress/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
