Robert DeNiro was feted by a handful of actors including Sharon Stone and Ben Stiller in light comic banter, giving a black-box theater feel to the enormous Kennedy Center opera house, followed by Martin Scorsese recounting DeNiro's antics and Meryl Streep speaking about how he inspired her work. For Mel Brooks, a musical medley highlighted scenes from The Producers, Young Frankenstein and more, including a memorable moment with Jack Black leading a rendition of "Men in Tights." A spectacular jam session onstage with Dave Brubeck's four sons closed out a hoppin' "Blue Rondo A La Turk" - which...
...strange time for the movies when the cleverest cultural commentary of recent memory was put out by Ben Stiller (“Tropic Thunder”) and the trippiest, most nonsensical film of 2009 stars George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, and Kevin Spacey. Ultimately, “The Men Who Stare At Goats” is a monumental waste of talent, employing A-List actors in the cinematic equivalent of the “no soap radio” gag.

Andy Dick, who got his start on The Ben Stiller Show, has had small roles in a handful of Apatow's projects. "Judd has given me a chance from when I was a nobody to when I have publicly reduced myself to being less than a nobody by my public, drunken, stupid-ass shenanigans. I literally started crying when...
...father, but it borrowed heavily from Rogen's foulmouthed stoner worldview. This was the knock against Apatow, which he mocked in a famous heated e-mail exchange with Mark Brazill, a co-creator of That '70s Show, who accused him of stealing one of his ideas for a Ben Stiller Show sketch and then wished cancer on him. Apatow wrote, "As for the cancer, I'll wait till you get it and then steal it from you. By the way, that joke was one of my writers', Rodney Rothman (see, I credited him)." When Apatow asks...
