[ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. >> jimmy: not only did it have heart, but it was funny. it was so funny and so well done. congrats on that. >> i appreciate that. the golden globes people do not agree with you at all. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: they do not agree. >> the golden globes are weird. here's the thing, golden globes are weird, especially in the comedy category. i don't know if they understand comedy that much, because "trainwreck" lost to "the martian." >> jimmy: there you go. yeah, yeah, that makes sense. >> and "bridesmaids" lost to a a hilarious movie called "my weekend with marilyn." [ laughter ] i think all the movies -- >> jimmy: why is the comedy categories in with the dramas, i don't -- >> well the dramas always want to be comedies, because i think they think it's an easier category, so -- >> jimmy: then they throw musicals in there as well, right? >> yeah, so right at the last second, a musical slips in. and then they're like, "'dunkirk' says they're a a comedy now." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: it gets them the award, yeah. i want to talk about -- either way, it's a great film. obviously, you know it is. it's just fantastic. >> thank you. >> jimmy: kumail, unbelievable. >> yeah, he's the best. >> jimmy: aw, crush. and ray romano, everybody was great in it. i loved the whole film. let's talk about you in "the disaster artist." this is you in front of the camera. which is -- i always love seeing you. we'll talk about the stand-up special. i love seeing you out there. what made you do it? was it james franco? >> okay, so, james franco calls me and he says, "judd, do you want to do this part? it's this total idiot, mean producer. and he's the one who tells my character that he's never going to make it." and i'm like, "that sounds like fun." and i go to set -- [ light laughter ] and then he has me sitting with like a 19-year-old girl. it's like a harvey weinstein situation. [ audience ohs ] [ light laughter ] you know, i'm playing like a a terrible person. and then i see james franco promoting the movie, he's like, "yeah, judd was so good in the movie playing himself." [ audience ohs ] >> jimmy: what? >> i was like, what? i thought i was an ass[ bleep ] producer, what happened? [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: you made me do that. >> no, yes! >> jimmy: you directed me. he was the director. >> you can't at the end of it go judd as himself. what is that? [ laughter ] that's like the worst thing you could do to somebody. but the movie is unbelievable. it's very, very good. >> jimmy: oh, it is great. now, you're on netflix. you're doing stand-up. you stopped doing stand-up for 20 years. >> i did. i took a little break. >> jimmy: 'cause i remember you were back in the day -- a a little break? 20 years? >> yeah. >> jimmy: why did you stop? >> when i started -- i don't know who the guys were when you started. but i was friends with jim carrey, and so that was weird to watch jim carrey and sandler all the time, because you felt like they were going to be superstars. so, it felt weird to think i was as good as them. you know, it's like if you were trying to start a band and your friend was starting a band called radiohead. you know? [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, exactly like -- yeah. >> but i did bring a clip to show you how bad i was in the '80s when i was a comedian. i've noticed i still have a lot of the new york accent. >> jimmy: here's a young judd apatow doing stand-up. check this out. >> not proud. >> i don't know what to do with these people. i have a stepfather who i call by his first name, because that's what you do. it's kind of cold though, you know? it's like, okay, that's my sister, that's my brother, that's my mom. and this is derek. [ light laughter ] and your stepfather cannot punish you. he can't. it's like, he's in on the conversation, yet has no power. you know? it's like living with dan quayle. [ light laughter ] [ applause ] >> jimmy: topical -- >> i was on it. >> jimmy: political. >> yes. >> jimmy: you got the sleeves rolled up on the sweatshirt. you got the whole look going. >> and the new york accent. and that went away. i'm always surprised when people's accent doesn't go away. >> jimmy: yeah. >> like schwarzenegger, why does he still talk like that? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, your kids, how would they feel about the special? >> i said to my daughters, "do you want to see it?" and if there's any jokes you want me to cut out. if they offend you, i'll cut them out. and they both said, "yeah, we don't need to see it." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: they just don't care. >> just a full lack of interest in the special. it's a weird time for my kids. because my daughter, who's 15, is now alone in the house with my wife and i, because her older sister is in college. >> jimmy: right. >> and that's not fun for a kid to live with their parents alone. because four people is a family and three is a child observing a weird couple.
