Judd Apatow didn’t realize it at the time, but as a young teenager growing up on Long Island in the ‘70s, he was single-handedly inventing the comedy podcast by doing the first-ever long-form radio interviews with his stand-up heroes. So it’s only fitting that he’s the last guest ever on The Last Laugh podcast.
In his fourth and final appearance on the show—taped before the tragic deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele—Apatow reflects on his early experiences as a proto-comedy podcaster and explains the “lifelong obsession” that inspired his new book, Comedy Nerd. (Proceeds benefit the youth writing charity 826 and the Los Angeles wildfire relief organization Fire Aid.)
