Comedy Nerd: The Obsessions of Judd Apatow (Part Two) w/ Judd Apatow

In this conclusion of a two-part episode, Frank is joined by writer-producer-comedian-director Judd Apatow for an intimate conversation about finding the truth, collaborating with heroes (and family members), the upside of hoarding, the timelessness of "George Carlin's American Dream," and the perfection of "Broadcast News," "Groundhog Day," and "The Truman Show." Also in this episode: Jay Leno phones the house, Mike Nichols pens a fan letter, Steve Martin and Martin Short create a "joy machine" and Judd recalls "brushes with greatness" with Red Buttons, Mickey Rooney and Sir Paul McCartney.

PLUS: The genius of David Lynch! The music of Loudon Wainwright! "Bob & Don: A Love Story"! Albert Brooks hangs with Harry Nilsson! Eddie Vedder pays tribute to Garry Shandling! And Judd reflects on his friendships with Norman Lear, Pee-wee Herman and Harold Ramis!
