Judd Apatow Reveals He Saw Don Rickles in Vegas While High on Mushrooms

>> THAT WAS A ROUSING ROUND OF
APPLAUSE FOR ME.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, WELL, THEY'RE
INSTRUCTED TO CLAP.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> MY LEVEL OF FAME IS NOT THAT
HIGH TO GET THAT MUCH.
MY LEVEL OF FAME IS, IF I'M
WALKING DOWN THE STREET AND
SOMEBODY SAYS, IF YOU SAY JUDD
APATOW, IF I SAY NO, THEY GO,
ALL RIGHT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I WAS AT A -- THE "NEW YORK
TIMES" CROSSWORD PUZZLE TWO
WEEKS AGO, I GOT CALLS LIKE, OH
MY GOD, YOU'VE REALLY MADE IT!
AND I SAID, NO, THAT MEANS I'M
STILL OBSCURE ENOUGH TO BE A
CLUE.
>> Jimmy: WHAT WAS THE CLUE?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
JACKASS JEW DIRECTOR?
>> Jimmy: THAT COULD BE SO MANY
PEOPLE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> EXACTLY.
>> Jimmy: IT'S VERY GOOD TO SEE
YOU.
>> GOOD TO BE HERE.
>> Jimmy: I NOTICE YOU TWEETED A
LOT OF NICE THINGS ABOUT DON
RICKLES WHEN HE PASSED AWAY.
>> YES, I LOVE DON RICKLES.
>> DID YOU KNOW DON?
>> I HAD MET HIM A FEW TIMES.
I DID THAT TALK SHOW HE HAD BEEN
WORKING OKAY THE WEB SERIES.
>> Jimmy: RIGHT, I DID THAT TOO.
>> THE FIRST TIME I SAW HIM,
WESTBERRY MUSIC FAIR WHEN I WAS
13, I SNUCK DOWN TO THE FRONT
ROW, HE EVISCERATED ME.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S SO GREAT.
>> HE WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF
ALL-TIME.
THE BEST TIME I EVER SAW HIM, I
DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD SAY THIS
PUBLICLY.
BUT I GUESS I WILL.
>> Jimmy: OKAY.
>> I WAS ON MUSHROOMS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: THE MAGIC KIND?
>> I HOPE SO.
[ LAUGHTER ]
THAT'S WHAT THEY GUARANTEED ME.
>> Jimmy: WHO WERE YOU WITH ON
MUSHROOMS?
>> A BUNCH OF MY FRIENDS WHO
ROTE FOR THE TV SHOW "ROSEANNE."
[ APPLAUSE ]
THIS IS 1990.
DON RICKLES WAS OPENING FOR
SINATRA.
AND ALSO OPENING P. ISIDORA.
>> Jimmy: OH, WOW.
>> YOU'D THINK, WE SHOULD GO TO
THIS ON MUSHROOMS.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, WELL YEAH.
FOR P. ISIDORA FOR SURE, YEAH.
>> WE BOUGHT THIRD ROW TICKETS.
I DON'T DO -- I'M NOT A BIG DRUG
PERSON.
I DON'T REACT WELL.
>> Jimmy: YOU'RE SAYING THIS
BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOUR CHILDREN
MIGHT WATCH THIS?
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE DO DRUGS WITH
THEIR KIDS.
THEIR KIDS TURN 18 AND THEY
SMART SMOKING POT WITH THEIR
KIDS.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S WEIRD.
>> YOU NEVER DID THAT.
>> Jimmy: NO.
>> THAT'S WEIRD BECAUSE I FEEL
LIKE PEOPLE FEEL LIKE, OH, NOW
WE CAN BE FRIENDS.
NOW I CAN TELL YOU WHO I REALLY
AM.
THE TRUTH IS I LOVE COCAPE.
COCAINE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
AND THE NEIGHBORS WHO COME OVER
ALL THE TIME?
YOUR MOM AND I HAVE SEX WITH
THOSE PEOPLE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: SEEMS LIKE A BAD IDEA
IN GENERAL, YEAH.
>> I REALLY DON'T REACT WELL TO
DRUGS.
AT THAT TIME I EXPERIMENTED.
FOR A MOMENT.
SO ONCE WE WENT TO VEGAS, WE
TOOK MUSHROOMS.
THE WHOLE TIME WE WALKED AROUND,
I HAD ONE THOUGHT.
WHICH I THOUGHT WAS GENIUS BUT
IT WAS IDIOTIC.
WHICH WAS, THE REASON WHY IT'S
HOT IN VEGAS IS ALL THE ACs
BACKING UP!
>> Jimmy: BACKING UP?
>> LIKE THE HEAT COMING OUT THE
BACK?
OUT THE BACK, WOW.
THE COLD AIR GOES THAT WAY, THE
HOT AIR GOES FORWARDS?
>> THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
>> Jimmy: YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT
THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO
THAT.
I DON'T KNOW THAT -- A STUDY
SHOULD BE DONE.
>> WE WANTED TO UP OUR GAME.
SO WE GOT THESE TICKETS TO SEE
HIM.
AND WE WORE SUITS AND SAT RIGHT
UP FRONT.
AND THEN WHEN RICKLES CAME ON,
WE LOST OUR MINDS.
>> Jimmy: I WOULD BET SO, YEAH.
>> HE BROUGHT OUR FRIEND ON
STAGE TO DO A BIT.
>> Jimmy: OH, REALLY.
>> RICKLES HUGS HIM.
OUR FRIEND LOOKED AT US LIKE --
[ LAUGHTER ]
THEN SINATRA WAS ON.
HERE'S ANOTHER DUMB THOUGHT.
ON MUSHROOMS I THOUGHT WAS
SMART.
I THOUGHT, EVERYBODY HERE
TONIGHT IS GETTING LAID.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: ARE THOSE THE KINDS OF
THOUGHTS YOU HAVE ON MUSHROOMS?
>> I'M SO DUMB, I'M SO DUMB.
I THINK THAT'S ALL IT DOES IS
YOU THINK OF DUMB STUFF AND
YOU'RE LIKE, THIS IS PRETTY
SMART STUFF RIGHT NOW.
AND THEN ON THE WAY HOME I
LAUGHED FOR SO LONG THAT MY
FRIENDS WERE ABOUT TO TAKE ME TO
THE HOSPITAL.
AND THEN I KEPT GOING, WASN'T
THIS THE BEST NIGHT OF OUR
LIVES?
LET'S CALL EACH OTHER TOMORROW!
AND LET'S ASK EACH OTHER IF WHEN
WE'RE SOBER IT WAS THE BEST
NIGHT OF OUR LIVES!
>> Jimmy: AND?
>> THEN I CALLED.
WAS IT THE BEST NIGHT OF OUR
LIVES?
WE ALL WENT, YES!
>> Jimmy: IT REALLY WAS.
>> IT WAS.
>> Jimmy: DO YOU HONESTLY
REMEMBER THAT AS THE BEST NIGHT
OF YOUR LIFE?
>> WELL, I'VE HAD CHILDREN SINCE
THEN.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, RIGHT.
>> THERE WAS A LOT OF SCREAMING
AND BLOOD.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, THERE'S A LOT OF
MESS THAT GOES ALONG WITH THE
HAVING THE CHILDREN.
I MEAN, CERTAINLY THE RESULT IS
A WONDERFUL THING.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Jimmy: I DON'T KNOW THAT I
WOULD CLASSIFY ANY VISIT TO THE
HOSPITAL AS PART OF THE BEST
NIGHT OF MY LIFE.
>> OKAY, IT WAS THE BEST NIGHT
