Exiled to right field at an early age, Judd Apatow knew athletics weren’t his ticket out of geekdom. But not to worry. He knew what he wanted to do and who to ask about getting there, and he’s been making us laugh (mostly at ourselves) ever since. And even after a run of hits that include Bridesmaids, Funny People and The 40 Year Old Virgin, he owns almost every self help book on the market and is still patiently waiting for someone to tell him he’s okay.
