Judd Apatow

you know, a new way to do stand-up.

I wasn't that weird.

I was just kind of like a young, smart comic.

And I was aware of that, and I was bummed out about that.

You know, I wasn't Stephen Wright.

I wasn't Bob Goldthwait.

Like, people were really taking chances and doing really cool, interesting things.

And what Adam was doing and what Jim was doing was just so weird and out there.

Rob Schneider had this incredible act back when we first started, and...

and they were very inventive and I could write for people and I could, you know, write for Jim and, you know, help him with, with stuff.

And I got a lot of confidence from that, but it took a long time for me to find myself almost till, you know, freaks and geeks.

where I realize, oh, the more personal I am, the better it is, the more interesting and creative and emotional it is.

But I didn't know how to do that for a very long time, I think.

Yeah.

And you're also happy for them because they're your favorites.

And so you have a lot of mixed emotions about it, right?

All of our dreams, we all have that dream of being on Saturday Night Live or being a part of it.

And then suddenly David Spade moved there.

And then Rob Schoer moved there.

And then Saylor moved there.
