I had to rate this follow up lower than the 1st one because its pool of entrants of who I consider to be commedians is much more shallow than the 1st (and then there are people who are not in the comedy world at all).
Apatow continues his job as a great interviewer - finding that balance of driving the conversation without making it too much about himself. Much like in [b:Sick in the Head: Conversations About Life and Comedy|23834688|Sick in the Head Conversations About Life and Comedy|Judd Apatow|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1433794639l/23834688._SX50_.jpg|43446309], he is just as much a fan of the subjects as we are.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have always been a fan of Apatow’s movies and discovering his book when I listened to his interview on a movie review podcast. I found all of the interviews very interesting and loved discovering new information/perspectives from various people in the entertainment industry. I never read the first one but it’s on the To Buy list!
