07.27.09 KNOCKED UP WAS SEMI-AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL
Judd Apatow recently filmed an episode of Inside the Actor’s Studio that airs tonight, in which he shows up looking all clean cut like a 6th grader on picture day while James Lipton is his usual eccentric, sycophantic self. In this clip, Apatow reveals that the scene in Knocked Up where Katherine Heigl kicks Seth Rogen out of the car on the way to the gynecologist was actually autobiographical.
APATOW: One thing I thought would be fun would be to sort of capture the intensity of some of these moments between couples. And just how heated it gets. I think at the time I was realizing just how frustrating I was to be around.
LESLIE MANN (Apatow’s wife): I did throw him out of the car on the way to the gynecologist.
APATOW: And that is a complicated moment, because I have no money, and I’m five miles from the gynecologist…
MANN: How did you do that?
APATOW: I took a cab.
MANN: How did you pay?
APATOW: I blew the guy.
Apatow and Mann go all Abbot and Costello at the end there, but you can tell they were super pissed at each other at the time. That’s rough. I’ve never had to hitchhike five miles to the gynecologist, but I have been kicked out of the examination room for making foghorn sounds. And impersonating a doctor.

James Lipton used to be a pimp in France. I don’t have a joke for that; I just like mentioning it.
There’s nothing better than getting kicked out of the car on the way to the sbortion clinic.
I’d skip 5 miles home. Jumping up and clicking my heels together every so often.
The main difference between the two scenarios is that Leslie Mann is hilarious and lovable, while Heigl is a spiteful bitch.
you are allowed to kick the father out of the car but not the baby out of your stomach? man this country is weird
Kick a blind man out of the car five miles from the gynecologist one way and five miles from the docks the other way and he’ll have a 50/50 shot of arriving at the right destination.
Fact: Abortion clinics are a good place to pick up chicks! Fun Fact: Women from abortion clinics put out *high five* *hip bump*
I think James Lipton should have asked the question that was on everybody’s mind:
Did he fuck his bong?
Semi-autobiographical > “Based on a true story”
Lmao at the foghorn sounds…if only brendon were as funny as you I might get a user name for that site
Oh, did I say “sbortion”?
I meant “wire coat hanger poke”
Odd twist… I blew the guy is usually the autobiographical part of any Hollywood anecdote.
Pauly’s Girlfriend: I’m pregnant.
Pauly: Well, let’s go see the gynecologist. Just to be sure…
[in Pauly's car]
Pauly’s Girlfriend: Why are we going to Mexico?
Pauly: [whispers] Shhhhhhhhhut the fuck up….
A “sbortion” is what happens when you change your mind at the food court and cancel your Sbarro order.
If abortion jokes are wrong I don’t give a fuck
A “sbortion” is a quick punch to the stomach of a pregger chick.
I got kicked out of the car five miles from the gynecologist because my wife was really nervous and I told her to stop being such a big pussy or the gyno would never finish his exam.
When you use a plumber’s snake, it’s called a sbortion.
I once kicked a girlfriend out of a moving car because we were headed to the gyno and not the abortion clinic.
It worked! :D
I worked as a client escort one Saturday morning at an abortion clinic but was asked not to come back after handing out buiness cards with my name, number, and a promise that i’d had a vasectomy in the past.
I once got kicked out of the bus five feet from the “gynecologist’s office” because I wasn’t part of Hannah Montana’s official traveling party and how the hell did I get past security anyway?
Gynecologists are what happen when you give your very bright kid no toys except play-doh.
Judd Apatow looks like a shitty Fred Armison character.
