-And happy belated birthday. You just turned 50?
-I just turned 50 years old. -Is that correct?
[ Cheers and applause ] Hey, come on, buddy.
That's great. -It is good.
-How does it feel? -It feels pretty good.
I feel like my lack of exercise is paying off.
-Yes.
-Because I have no injuries, you know?
A lot of people are like, "My knee's bad from basketball."
I'm like, "I got nothing."
-Yeah, I never did anything physical.
-People always say, like, "Are you slowing down?"
I'm like, "I don't know, I never move fast."
[ Laughter ] -I'm going at the same speed.
I have a thing right here -- a picture of you.
-Oh yes, because for my birthday, my friend --
very good friend -- got me tickets
to see Springsteen on Broadway,
which I'm very excited about.
-I haven't seen it yet. I heard it's --
-Which is, you're not a good friend to him.
-I can't wait.
-And I have only met him once before.
Which is in 1991,
Garry Shandling hosted the Grammys,
and I was writing for him.
And I said to Garry,
"We're taking a picture with Bruce Springsteen,
'cause you're the host and you're allowed to do that."
-Yes, of course. -And this is the photo.
-And you got a photo with Bruce Springsteen.
Here he is. You and Garry.
Look at you. -Yeah.
[ Applause ]
-Now what -- I love this.
'Cause I was like, what look were you going for in that one?
-I was going for a little Stallone in "Nighthawks."
[ Laughter ]
-We actually have a photo of Stallone from that time.
It's not bad.
-You got to -- You got to show them together.
-Got to some them together. -Got to show them together.
-Yeah, not bad. You kind of nailed it.
[ Applause ] -I may have pulled it off.
-You kind of nailed it.
-That's as good as a Jew's gonna do looking like Stallone.
[ Laughter ]
-Did you get to meet Springsteen again or are you going?
-I'm gonna go.
-So you guys maybe take another photo now, an updated photo.
-Well, if he wants to invite me backstage.
[ Laughter ]
-I love seeing the picture of Garry Shandling, too.
I miss that guy, obviously. And I know --
I heard that you're writing a book about Garry,
but I know you're making a documentary too.
-I made a four-hour documentary about Garry for HBO.
-Wow.
-And some people say, you know, four hours seems like a lot.
But O.J. got seven.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-So I feel like the people who don't murder
should get more hours. -Thank you, thank you.
Finally someone said it, yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ] Finally.
Gosh, I miss Garry Shandling.
I love that guy so much.
I will say you also produce so many great things.
Including this year "The Big Sick,"
which is one of my favorite movies of the year.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you.
-Not only did it have heart, but it was funny.
It was so funny and so well done.
Congrats on that. -I appreciate that.
The Golden Globes people do not agree with you at all.
[ Laughter ]
-They do not agree.
-The Golden Globes are weird.
Here's the thing, Golden Globes are weird,
especially in the comedy category.
I don't know if they understand comedy that much,
because "Trainwreck" lost to "The Martian."
-There you go. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
-And "Bridesmaids" lost to
a hilarious movie called "My Weekend With Marilyn."
[ Laughter ] I think all the movies --
-Why is the comedy categories in with those dramas?
-Well, the dramas always want to be comedies,
'cause I think they think it's an easier category.
-Then they throw musicals in there as well, right?
-Yeah, so right at the last second, a musical slips in.
And then they're like,
"'Dunkirk' says they're a comedy now."
[ Laughter ]
-It gets them the award, yeah.
I want to talk about -- either way, it's a great film.
Obviously, you know it is. It's just fantastic.
-Thank you. -Kumail, unbelievable.
-Yeah, he's the best. -Aw, crush.
And Ray Romano -- everybody was great in it.
I loved the whole film.
Let's talk about you in "The Disaster Artist."
This is you in front of the camera.
Which is -- I always love seeing you.
We'll talk about the stand-up special.
But I love seeing you out there.
What made you do it? Was it James Franco?
-Okay, so, James Franco calls me and he says,
"Judd, do you want to do this part?
It's this, like, total idiot, mean producer.
And he's the one who tells my character
that he's never gonna make it."
And I'm like, "That sounds like fun."
And I go to the set. [ Laughter ]
And then he has me sitting with, like, a 19-year-old girl.
It's like a Harvey Weinstein situation.
[ Audience ohs ]
You know, I'm playing, like, a terrible person.
And then I see James Franco promoting the movie, he's like,
"yeah, Judd was so good in the movie playing himself."
[ Audience ohs ] -What?
-I was like, "What?
I thought I was an ass[bleep] producer.
What happened?"
-You made me do that. -No, yes!
-You directed me. He was the director.
-You can't at the end of it go "Judd as himself."
What is that? [ Laughter ]
That's like the worst thing you could do to somebody.
But the movie is unbelievable.
It's very, very good. -Oh, it is great.
