Make yourself a better human being by enjoying this fun chin wag I had with Judd Apatow about comedy and the George Carlin documentary he just made that premieres on HBO May 20th. Come get some laughter all over your face!
I'll be honest with you, when Judd Apatow told me that he
liked my podcast I thought he was bullshiting me. But then after I
witnessed a suicide and put out a podcast about what happened and
the PTSD that I experienced after, Judd sent me lovely message
telling me that he thought it was brave that I talked about it and
thought the episode would help a lot of people. Judd reaching out
to me at that moment was also perfect timing because I had just
watched the documentary Judd made about Garry Shandling and that
had helped to lift me up when I was in my lowest, darkest
place.
Judd is not only a comedian and comedy film director, he is
one of the kindest and most thoughtful people in all of show
business. I was tickled that he came to my humble little home to
record this conversation with me.
In this episode we talk about our tribe of comedians and the
brilliant documentary on George Carlin that Judd just made that
premieres on HBO May 20th.
In a world full of stress and uncertainty comedy is more
valuable than it has ever been.
I let the teenage comedy nerd in me run wild in this
conversation, as Judd and I celebrated together our passion for
comedy.
I know every drop of this interview is going to bring sunshine
to your heart, and that is why it is my pleasure to present to you,
the one and only Judd Apatow!
