Review: Judd Apatow, “The Return” on Netflix

Posted by | Dec 14, 2017 | |

Judd Apatow just released his first stand-up special this week at age 50, after only returning to stand-up comedy stages three years ago. Of course, if you read The Comic’s Comic, then you already know how Apatow hasn’t left the comedy game at all since diving in as a teenager, and it’s just that you’ve heard Apatow’s jokes and thoughts over the past two decades via sitcoms and movies instead of from his mouth on a club or theater stage. So he’s not some newb, or even a celebrity trying to cash in on the comedy boom with yet...

After reuniting for a ninth season this year that many loved for the pure joy of seeing Larry David make friends, loved ones and strangers cringe, while others (including myself) felt it took too long to shake off the rust of their absence from the screen, Curb Your Enthusiasm isn’t going to wait years before coming back for season 10. HBO announced today that Curb’s 10th season will begin production in spring 2018. “We are thrilled that Larry will be back with his uniquely acerbic wit and comedic sensibility,” said Casey Bloys, president, HBO programming.

Noah Gardenswartz on Conan
