Summary:
"Before Judd Apatow and his roommate Adam Sandler began performing stand up at dive bars in LA, Judd Apatow was a kid in Syosett, Long Island who was utterly obsessed with
comedy
. At 16, he started hosting a radio show for his local high school station, and he would call up the biggest comics of the day - comics like Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Steve Allen, Sandra Bernhard; none of whom, by the way, had any idea they were talking to a kid in his parents' garage -- and talk to them
about
what got them into
comedy
, and what made them stay in. Thirty years later, Apatow is still interviewing famous comics
about
what drives them and why they do what they do. That obsession has made him a recognizable and influential comedic filmmaker. A collection of 30 years worth of those
conversations
-- featuring interviews with luminaries like Mel Brooks and Chris Rock and modern icons like Louis CK and Amy Schumer. A book
about
the profession of
comedy
, from the nerdiest fan of all"--Provided by publisher.
