We're talking Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein next week. So, we thought we'd dust off the greatest spoof of Frankenstein's Monster: 1974's Young Frankenstein. Special guest includes @VanityFair writer and author @AndrewLBuss.

Thanks for the shoutout, @TheRock! It was a pleasure to get to interview you for this piece for @VanityFair!

[Dwayne Johnson @TheRock]

Andy Kaufman was a bold artist and took big committed swings to make people FEEL something. Laughter, anger, joy, and in an instant could create chaos that wildly juxtaposed the gentle kindness behind his eyes.

And the thing I loved the most about Andy’s artistry is that it was always from the gut. Never “told jokes” just real and from the gut.

This documentary was a pleasure to help produce.

Big thank you to the @Tribeca film festival and everyone for their support.

20 years ago, weed, sex, violence, and music collided in the cinematic skewering of a classic piece of propaganda.

New Episode - Superbad
We talked about adolescent storytelling, the Apatow Era, and the film’s mixture of cruelty and earnest sentimentality. Then, Andrew Buss joins me to talk about his new book, I Am McLovin: How Superbad Became the Biggest Comedy Hit of Its Generation.

Today we remember comedian Richard Lewis on the anniversary of his passing. Most recently beloved for his role in “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Lewis’ sharp delivery and dark sense of humor carried him from Greenwich Village comedy clubs to “The Tonight Show” to Carnegie Hall. On a night in 1989 that he called “the highlight of his career,” Lewis performed a 2 ½ hour set on that historic stage while carrying six feet of yellow legal sheets densely packed with material. Now part of the National Comedy Center’s permanent collection, one of those sheets is pictured here courtesy of Richard Lewis and Joyce Lapinsky. #RichardLewis

#EmmaStone has been cursing #JuddApatow since 2007 when “Superbad” hit theaters and everyone fell in love with her dyed red hair, the director jokes in a new book.
