Watch This: Jason Schwartzman's TV Show, 'Yo Teach'
Hey, did you know that Jason Schwartzman was starring in a new NBC show called Yo Teach , about a teacher with a big heart who goes all Stand and Deliver/Dangerous Minds- like on the inner-city troublemakers in his class? I'm lying, of course -- Schwartzman isn't starring in any real TV show; instead, this is just a taste of the first piece of viral marketing for Judd Apatow's Funny People , which, because it stars actors playing popular actors, is filled with all sorts of fake movies...

Thanks to The Playlist reader, Mckenzie for the tip.

How can we confirm this beyond a shadow of a doubt? See above in our graphic. "Music by Jason Schwartzman" is right there clear as day in the credits.This is...

Schwartzman on NBC?
I have an inherent fondness for cheesy sitcoms. You know the kind they don't really make anymore with over-the-top laugh tracks, multiple cameras and cheesy premises (like a foreign raised man moving to Chicago to live with his long-lost American cousin). So naturally this video cracked me up. Below is a clip from an upcoming NBC sitcom titled "Yo Teach!" starring Jason Schwartzman. Except it's not an actual NBC sitcom and that's not quite Jason Schwartzman. It's a brilliant piece of...

Seth Rogen - Trailer - Showtimes - Cast - Movies & TV - NYTimes.com
From All Movie Guide: Canadian-born actor Seth Rogen tapped into his skills as a comedian when he was only 13, signing up for comedy classes and honing his deadpan style. He tooled around as an amateur for a few years but eventually took his act down south, hoping to find success as an actor and standup comedian in the U.S. He was soon discovered by Judd Apatow and was cast in his short-lived series Freaks and Geeks. After its cancellation, Apatow cast Rogen in his next series,...

The 40-Year-Old Virgin - Trailer - Cast - Showtimes - NYTimes.com
Sex has become so desacralized, it seems hard to believe that anyone, especially an apparently healthy man, has managed to avoid getting some with someone, somewhere, at some point. But such is the case with Andy Stitzer, the title character played by Steve Carell in the charmingly bent comedy "The 40-Year-Old Virgin." A loner geek by circumstance rather than conviction, this accidental virgin works in an electronics store with the usual bunch of genial misfits. The rest of the time, he tends to...

Knocked Up - Trailer - Cast - Showtimes - NYTimes.com
It may be a bit, um, premature to say so, but Judd Apatow’s “Knocked Up” strikes me as an instant classic, a comedy that captures the sexual confusion and moral ambivalence of our moment without straining, pandering or preaching. Like “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” Mr. Apatow’s earlier film, it attaches dirty humor to a basically upright premise. While this movie’s barrage of gynecology-inspired jokes would have driven the prudes at the old Hays Office mad, its story, about a young man...

Judd Apatow’s “Funny People” Trailer
Talk about a star-studded cast — Adam Sandler, Seth Rogan, Eric Bana, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, and Leslie Mann. Judd Apatow’s newest film, Funny People, looks like it’s going to be a great summer movie. It’s about a comedian that believes he is dying… then finds out he is not, so he sets out on a mission to get “the one that got away.” The trailer really tells the story well so I can’t wait to see the film. It’s due out July 31st of...

Movie Review - Step Brothers - Once More to the Well of Goofball Comedy - NYTimes.com
“Step Brothers,” which was produced by Judd Apatow and his and Will Ferrell ’s manager, Jimmy Miller, is nowhere near as good, funny or polished as “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” the Nascar spoof directed by Adam McKay, which was also produced by Mr. Apatow and Mr. Miller. In that movie, Mr. Ferrell and John C. Reilly play best, not terribly bright, friends. Here, again directed by Mr. McKay, they play not terribly bright slackers turned brothers turned...

Apatow Talks Up 'Funny People' Mini Movies Starring Sandler and ...
Slightly reminiscent of Tropic Thunder , Judd Apatow has revealed to MTV that his upcoming film Funny People will feature scenes and marketing materials for a whole bunch of fake films starring Adam Sandler . Only in the film he's not Adam Sandler -- he's George Simmons; a stand-up comedian-turned-mega-successful actor who stars in a whole ton of crappy high concept movies. Not exactly too much of a stretch for Sandler (ahem, Click , Zohan ), which is why it sounds pretty funny....

Review: ‘Choke’
Choke is more than just your run of the mill story about a lying sex addict who is desperately trying to save his mom by having sex with her nurse, and pay for her bills by pretending to choke on food. There is substance, romance, and more raunchy laughts than a Judd Apatow flick. Chuck Palahniuk is an absolute genius, and dirty one, but still a genius. His novels are getting progressively more and more raunchy but I am definitely not one to complain about that, and ‘Choke’ is full of it. I won

In 'Funny People,' Leslie Mann takes a more serious stride
Much has been made of Judd Apatow's uncanny eye for talent, populating his shows and films with such discoveries as Seth Rogen, Jason Segel and Jonah Hill. So, when he first saw actress Leslie Mann on the set of the 1996 film "The Cable Guy," which he produced, he was typically assured in his appraisal. He said to a friend, "There goes the future Mrs. Apatow."

How Personal is Judd Apatow’s Funny People?
Lets face it, Judd Apatow likes to keep it in the family. His films feature many of the same familiar faces — a comedy troupe he has collected, whom often star in the films that he directs and produces. But not only that, his wife Leslie Mann has appeared in every one of the films he’s directed thus far. In fact, the couple met on the set of The Cable Guy , which Apatow produced. Apatow and Mann have two daughters named Iris and Maude. The kids made their big...

Judd Apatow's 'Funny People' Gets a Trailer!
The first trailer for Judd Apatow's Funny People has just gone up over at Moviefone (watch it below or over there in HD), and it definitely looks to be his most dramatic effort yet ... even though it's hard to get too serious when you have a cast that includes Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, Eric Bana (rockin' his Aussie accent) and Leslie Mann. What we do get (which is good) is a solid three-and-a-half-minute (!) debut trailer full of what looks to be some really great...

Eminem Returns to Film With 'Funny People'
'I just did a cameo a few months ago with Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen in a Judd Apatow produced film,' reveals Grammy-winning rapper Eminem of his appearance in 'Funny People'.

Eminem Joins The Long List Of Cameos For Judd Apatow's "Funny People"
produced film. It’s called 'Funny People'," revealed Eminem. "I kinda do a little cameo in that, which was fun by the way. And '8 Mile' was not a fun movie to shoot." " 8 Mile " is of course the 2002 film loosely based on Eminem's early days as an amateur rapper in Detroit. The rapper probably wouldn't have felt too out of his depth working on "Funny People" though, with another hip hop star among the cast. Former Wu-Tang Clan member, RZA , has a role in the film though he will play,...
