This week, Kim Masters talks to Judd Apatow about his memoir, Comedy Nerd, a scrapbook that chronicles his journey from a stand-up-obsessed kid to one of Hollywood’s most influential comedy voices. Apatow shares stories from his early days interviewing his heroes on his high school radio station, to his years as an uncredited screenwriter on the films of Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey. He also reads the infamous letter he wrote at age twelve to Steve Martin, demanding an apology after being turned down for an autograph.


Plus, Paramount has released its first earnings report under new chief David Ellison, and the message is clear: tighten up. The studio says it’s targeting $3 billion in savings by 2026 following a substantial round of layoffs. Meanwhile, Netflix is pouring serious money into video podcasts, chasing a rival’s success in the space. Kim Masters and Matt Belloni break down what’s behind the streamer’s latest splurge—and what Ellison’s belt-tightening reveals about the studio’s priorities.
