And then there’s that winking theme song: “This is the theme to Garry’s show/The theme to Garry’s show/Garry called me up and asked if I would write his theme song.” Incredibly, the show found a huge audience, powered in part by Shan- dling’s status as a stand-up comic whose nasal delivery, blown-out bouf- fant and sardonic observations (rou- tinely centered on his sexual prowess, or lack thereof) earned him frequent appearances on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show and a spot as one of its regular guest hosts.

  • '2009 MTV Movie Awards' Honors Ben Stiller with 'MTV Generation Award'
    '2009 MTV Movie Awards' Honors Ben Stiller With 'MTV Generation Award' Premiering LIVE Sunday, May 31, 2009 at 9pm ET/8pm CT From The Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 22 -- The 2009 MTV Movie Awards pays tribute to Ben Stiller with the coveted "MTV Generation Award" for his amazing contribution to Hollywood and for entertaining the MTV audience for years. From generation to generation, Ben Stiller has kept fans rolling with laughter since bursting onto the scene in Reality Bites and his early film roles and cult classics such as There's Something About Mary, Meet the Parents, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Tropic Thunder and now this summer's eagerly anticipated Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian in theaters May 22, 2009. The "MTV Generation Award" is the MTV Movie Awards' highest honor, acknowledging an actor who has captured the attention of the MTV audience throughout his or her career. Past recipients include Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey. Hosted by Andy Samberg, the 2009 MTV Movie Awards will be broadcast LIVE from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA on Sunday, May 31st at 9p.m. ET/8p.m. CT.

"That versatility and talent has earned him legions of devoted fans over the years which makes him a perfect recipient for the 'MTV Generation Award.'

  • Judd Apatow Asked If He Could Take a Pass at His Profile
    Man at His Best The Profile By ANNA PEELE Filmmaker, producer, and writer Judd Apatow asked if he could take a pass at his profile. We thought, What could go wrong? Instructions to meet the man who will lead me to Judd Apatow specify only that he can be found “under the rainbow,” which turns out to be a 30-ton 100-foot-high $1.6 million homage to The Wizard of Oz� On the way, I make eye contact with a goat dressed as a unicorn. But the strangest thing about Sony Pictures Studios is the state of the of- fice occupied by Judd Apatow, pro- ducer of Anchorman and Girls, au- teur behind the filmsKnocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and arguably the man who is better than anyone but Lorne Michaels at making co- medians famous. Apatow’s work- place is barren, with lurid lighting and views only of nearby walls. He likes this barren office, though. He has a nicer one in Santa Monica, but it’s packed with the by-products of shaping the entertainment industry for three decades, and Apatow want- ed something unburdened. The new place, which would be totally generic without the whiteboard casually fes- tooned with names like “Louis C.K.” and “Chris Rock,” comes with a Net- flix deal that has Apatow produc- ing the upcoming Pee-wee Herman movie and two guaranteed seasons of Love, a new romantic sitcom, with writer and actor Paul Rust. Apatow has described himself as looking like “the next abusive alcoholic stepfather in Boyhood�” But with his ’90s rock-critic outfit (unbuttoned plaid shirt over silk- screened T, jeans, and sneakers), Apatow is sloppily handsome.

  • He's Your Officemate, Your Favorite Virgin—And Now He's Talking to God
    ID #31 ID #32 He’s your officeMAte, your fAvorite virgin—And now He’s tAlking to god. inside tHe restless Mind of Steve Carell, Hollywood’s new king of coMedy. by brooke hauser pHotogrApHs by martin scHoeller 54 Premiere July/august 2006 ID #33 ID #34 thecomeDyIssue i. “HAI-GOO-BA!” In person, nothing about Steve Carell screams, “Look at me!” He wears his short hair combed, with a side part—a style often found in men’s catalogs. He is neither tall nor short, and though he is broad-shouldered and hairy- chested, he doesn’t seem burly. With the ex- ception of his thumbs, which are cartoonishly wide and flat and appear to have been blud- geoned by a large rock (think Fred Flintstone, after an incident at the quarry), he is entirely inconspicuous. He could be your dentist, your waiter, your next-door neighbor. What Steve Carell is not is the kind of guy who is used to doing nude scenes in multimillion-dollar productions such as Evan Almighty, a spin-off from 2003’s Bruce Almighty. Sitting fully dressed in a director’s chair on a soundstage in Waynesboro, Virginia, the 42-year-old actor relives the moment a few days ago when his character, Evan Baxter, discovers the first sign that God (Morgan Freeman) has chosen him to become a modern-day Noah. Baxter embraces his new image by walking into his yard in noth- ing but his birthday suit and a long beard. “I had to wear a pouch held together by a string, not unlike the string that holds on a party mask,” Carell says, his hands folded like a second-grader’s above his lap.

  • Women in Comedy
    WOMEN IN COMEDY BACKGROUND: MAKERS: Women In Comedy tracks the rise of women in the world of comedy, from the “dangerous” comedy of 70s sitcoms like Norman Lear’s Maude to the groundbreaking women of the 1980s American comedy club boom and building to today’s multifaceted landscape. Today, movies like Bridesmaids break box office records and the women of Saturday Night Live are often more famous than their male counterparts, but it didn’t start out that way. Early breakout female comics had to keep their jokes within the safe context of marriage, motherhood, and a man’s world. But they still found a way to be subversive. As Joan Rivers puts it, “I was furious about having to get married… It all comes out on stage. So that’s what I do onstage. I really tell them the truth.” Soon comedy became a vehicle for women to take on some of the most sensitive and controversial issues of the day. On television in the 1960s, entertainers like Carol Burnett and Mary Tyler Moore illuminated the core issues of feminism with humor that was both sly and truthful. But it took a powerful male producer to bring the most provocative feminist characters onto the screen. Maude, who Lear introduced to audiences in 1971, was a feminist firebrand on her fourth husband, strong and independent with a razor sharp wit. “When Maude was on the air,” Lear tells us, “I used to get letters from the First Lady, Betty Ford…. And she always signed every letter ‘Maude’s #1 fan’.” When Maude chose to have an abortion at 47, religious groups protested, but the episode was watched by 65 million Americans.
