When I read that Judd Apatow was doing stand up for the first time since he was 24 years old on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, I was expecting it to be painfully bad. In fact, I had the headline ready for it. It was going to read that Judd Apatow’s standup is as funny as his movies. In other words, if you like his movies you will think it is funny. If not, you would hate it like I hate his movies.
Well, I was pleasantly surprised by how funny he is. It starts out slower with him talking about his daughters not finding him funny and him being the only man in a house full of beautiful women. Then the pace picks up when he jokes about Bill Cosby. Not only does he nail his impression of the disgraced star, his take on it had me laughing out loud.
Maybe Apatow should take a break from making movies and hit the road doing standup. I would actually pay to see that.
