Did you know

Edit
  • Trivia
    Before he was famous, he asked his comedy hero, Steve Martin, for his autograph, but Martin refused (he didn't give autographs at his home). Afterwords, Apatow wrote him a nasty letter with some nicely placed profanity. In response, Martin sent him a copy of his book, "Cruel Shoes." The inscription read: "Sorry, I didn't realize I was speaking to THE Judd Apatow".
  • Quotes
    When R-rated comedies don't work, the studios are really embarrassed by them. But a PG-13 comedy is actually less offensive than an episode of Friends (1994). I think people want something a little more adult.
    • Frequently casts: Jason Segel, Seth Rogen, Martin Starr, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, James Franco, Matt McKane, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Ken Jeong and Craig Robinson
