>> Stephen: THE WRITER, DIRECTOR OF 40 YEAR OLD NEVER
BEGIN WHICH YOU WROTE WITH MY FRIEND STEVE CARRELL.
KNOCK KNOCK, FUNNY PEOPLE, TRAINWRECK, YOU PRODUCED
SUPERBAD, BRIDES MADE, ANCHORMAN, DIRECTOR OF FREAKS
AND GEEKS AND GIRLS AND YOU ARE ALSO THE AUTHOR OF SICK IN THE
HEAD, CONVERSATIONS ABOUT LIFE AND COMEDY.
AND NOW YOU ARE DOING A SHOW AT CARNEGIE HALL THIS SATURDAY
CALLED JUDD APATOW AND FRIENDS.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: OKAY, YOU DID STANDUP FOR A LONG TIME BUT YOU
HAVEN'T DONE IT IN 20 YEARS, RIGHT?
>> THAT'S TRUE.
THAT'S TRUE.
IT MAY NOT BE A GOOD SHOW.
>> Stephen: HOW DO YOU GET TO CARNEGIE HALL?
DON'T DO IT FOR 20 YEARS.
THAT'S A HARD LESSON.
>> ACTUALLY, I BOOKED THIS APPEARANCE BECAUSE I WAS VERY
SURE THAT IT WOULD NOT SELL OUT.
AND IT IS THIS SATURDAY AND IT SOLD OUT YESTERDAY.
>> Stephen: WOW.
>> AND I REALIZE THAT I'M NOT REALLY A DRAW.
I REALIZE WHAT MY LEVEL OF FAME IS.
>> Stephen: OF COURSE YOU ARE.
>> THIS IS MY LEVEL OF FAME.
IF I'M WALKING DOWN THE STREET AND SOMEBODY SAYS ARE YOU JUDD
APATOW, IF I GO KNOW THEY GO, ALL RIGHT.
>> Stephen: I GET THAT A LOT.
I GET THAT A LOT.
YEAH.
WELL, YOU ARE MORE THAN, YOU KNOW, A WRITER AND A PRODUCER.
ARE YOU SOMETHING MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO ME WHICH IS YOU ARE
A COME DE FAN FROM A YOUNG AGE.
>> THAT'S TRUE.
>> Stephen: AND SO WAS I.
HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU SAID TO YOUR EF I WANT TO DO THAT.
>> I THINK I WAS TEN.
I MUST HAVE BEEN A HOSTILE CHILD IN SOME WAY.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
>> COMEDIANS WERE PISSED OFF AND FLIPPING THE BIRD AT POWER.
I HATED GOOD-LOOKING PEOPLE AND ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE.
CUZ I ALWAYS GOT PICKED LAST IN GYM CLASS.
>> Stephen: ME TOO.
>> I WAS THE NERD.
EVEN NOW, HAVE I A PREJUDICE AGAINST ANYONE IN GOOD SHAPE.
LIKE IF A GUY IS JOGGING LIKE A 40 YEAR OLD GUY IS JOGGING WITH
HIS SHIRT OFF LOOKING GREAT I ALWAYS HAVE THE SAME REACTION.
LOOK AT THAT DOUCHE BAG.
I THINK THAT IS MY OPINION,.
>> Stephen: THAT IS WHY THEY AREN'T GOING FOR MARTIN
O'MALLEY, THE GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND, BECAUSE HE'S 52 AND HE
HAS A SIX PACK.
>> YEAH, I HATE SIX PACKS.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> I DON'T BELIEVE IN ANY EXERCISE.
I DON'T THINK EXERCISE WORKS.
LIKE, FOR INSTANCE IF YOU-- .
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU MEAN.
YOU DON'T THINK THE SCIENCE IS IN ON.
>> I DON'T.
LIKE I KIND OF FEEL LIKE IF YOU IN YOUR LIFE RAN 10,000 MILES IN
EXERCISE, THERE IS NO CHANCE YOU WILL LIVE LONGER THAN ME WHO HAS
NEVER MOVED.
I'M LIKE A TIRE WITH ALL OF ITS TREAD, YOU KNOW, I'M READY TO
GO.
I'M FULLY-- .
>> Stephen: YOU'RE NOT BURNG THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS, THAT
KAND SELL STILL IN THE BOX.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE FAMOUS.
NOW THAT YOU BRING IT UP I HAVE PHOTOS THAT YOU ACTUALLY SENT
OVER.
I LOVE THIS ONE.
THIS ONE IS, SPEAKING OF NOT EXERCISING.
YOU FOUND OUT THAT YOU WERE THE-- YOU WERE THE FACE OF A
MOVEMENT.
YOU SAW THIS IN WHAT MAGAZINE?
>> OKAY, SO SOMEONE WAS TELLING ME B YOU KNOW, DAD BODS WHICH
BASICALLY MEANS LIKE GUYS WHO WORK OUT A LITTLE AND LIKE KIND
OF CRAPPY.
AND THEN SOMEONE SENT ME A LINK TO AN ARTICLE.
I HIT THE LINK AND THE PHOTO WAS ME.
(LAUGHTER).
>> Stephen: UNBENOANS TO YOU YOU BECAME THE FACE OF A NEW
MOVEMENT.
>> YES, CRAPPEE BODIES.
>> Stephen: BUT SEXY, THE IDEA OF A DAD BOD IS SHOW IT'S
ATTRACTIVE TO BE OUT OF SHAPE.
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS FOR MY WIFE BECAUSE SHE HAS NO SENSE
OF WHAT ATTRACTIVE IS OR NOT BASED ON MARRYING ME,
BECAUSE-- .
>> Stephen: LESSIE MANN.
>> SHE DOESN'T GET T EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I WILL GO WHY DID SHE
MARRY ME.
AND THEN THERE WILL BE A PARTY AND THERE WILL BE A REALLY UGLY
GO AND SHE'LL GO HE'S CUTE.
OH THERE, THERE, THERE IT IS.
OUT OF THE BLUE SHE SAID TO ME, THIS IS TRUE.
SHE SAID OH BY THE WAY MY NAME IS NOT LESLIE, IT'S LESLEY.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BE, JUST THE OTHER DAY.
>> JUST THE OTHER DAY.
>> Stephen: HOW LONG YOU HAVE BEEN MARRIED?
>> 18 YEARS.
HAVE I BEEN SAYING IT WRONG THE WHOLE TIME.
>> Stephen: WELL, WAS THERE ANY HOSTILITY IN WHAT SHE SAID.
>> NOT AT ALL.
I SAID WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT IN 1995?
AND SHE SAID BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO
MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT AND I DIDN'T WANT TO BE MAD AT YOU.
