Really? no, Really? with Jason Alexander & Peter Tilden12 Nov 2024

The Secret to Judd Apatow’s Success is... Self Help?

Is self-help real or nonsense? Jason and Peter have always been skeptical of the ability for self-help books and seminars to impact and improve a person’s life…they even delved into the comedic aspects of the self-help world with their 2001 ABC sitcom “Bob Patterson.” So, when they discovered that Judd Apatow…uber successful screenwriter, producer, noted comedian, author and director of a myriad of cultural-defining comedies such as The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, This is 40, Funny People, Trainwreck and The King of Staten Island was a bit obsessed with the self-help genre… they needed to find out why! They discuss Judd’s journey to self-help, his unique Ayahuasca experience, and why he writes his comedies as dramas! Really,no Really!!! *** IN THIS EPISODE: Is self-help real or nonsense? How Judd’s parent’s constant fighting enabled him to become a good producer & comedian. That one-time Judd took the hallucinogen Ayahuasca in exotic Studio City, CA… His comedic choices have become more geriatric as he’s grown older. Was he afraid of being cancelled when returning to stand-up? The time high-school aged Judd asked Seinfeld to do a SECOND interview! Jason and Judd explore how they both came to the entertainment world.
