Wow- I’m liking the “Tim Allen from the Santa Clause” look he’s sporting during the lockdown!

Anyone else get distracted by the books on his shelf? I wonder why he has so many sticky notes in the Keith Richards autobiography.

Also this is pretty great, I think Judd doesn’t get much of a chance to talk about his career as often as the actors in his movies do, but he’s always been terrific.

  I was just coming here to comment on all the sticky notes in Keith Richards’ book. I love it. It’s so quotable.

I’d love to see a series like this about how people first came up in their industry. Like, what did Apatow do between High School and Larry Sanders?

You need to chill on the jazz. It’s too high in the mix and gets really annoying.

“But it was really hard to figure out who was as good as Michael Cera. Michael Cera is the greatest in the world.” Uh huh.

This guy has some excellent movies but he is at least partially responsible for the careers of people like Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer, and Mindy Kaling.

I can’t forgive him for that.

Never forget literally how much rejection this guy had to face before he took off. But he kept going.

Never give up, friends.
