Judd Apatow Interview

This is an interview with Judd Apatow (The Ben Stiller Show, Freaks and Geeks, The 40 Year Old Virgin). It’s a very interesting article going into various aspects of comedy writing. He used to interview comedians and comedy writers for his college radio station.

“When I interviewed Seinfeld, I was grilling him for literally 45 minutes about how to write jokes — and he tells me, in incredible detail, using examples from his act, how he thought of it, how he developed it, what the stages were…. It became a blueprint for how to be a comedian and a comedy writer.”
