Today, weâre sharing an episode from Fail Better with David Duchovny, featuring filmmaker and writer Judd Apatow. Together, they trace the arc of Juddâs career, from Anchorman and Bridesmaids to Superbad and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, before diving into his new visual memoir, Comedy Nerd: A Lifelong Obsession in Stories and Pictures.
Throughout their conversation, Judd reflects on whatâs driven him all these yearsânot the need to prove heâs funny, but the desire to understand if he has anything to say in the first place. Itâs something David relates to as a writer, and it runs through the pages of Juddâs new book: a collection of everything heâs made and gathered while trying to make sense of this life heâs made.
They also talk about the sting of bad reviews, why theyâve both stopped Googling themselves, and how Juddâs documentary on Garry Shandling became a final act of friendship and legacy.
