Judd Apatow has achieved the level of success that just hearing his name makes me sad. While I might fantasize about killing him in his sleep, this interview made me want to kill him just a little bit less.
In this interview with Jesse Thorn of The Sound of Young America, Apatow talks about interviewing comics such as Jerry Seinfeld, John Candy, and Steve Allen for his high school radio station, his early stand-up career, and his formative relationship with Garry Shandling as a writer on The Larry Sanders Show. He also speaks about a new book he has compiled called I Found This Funny, sales of which benefit 826 National, a literacy charity.
If you proudly call yourself a comedy nerd, you’ll recognize a kindred spirit in Apatow. —John Michael Thornton
