DGA Awards Host Judd Apatow Takes Aim at Trump, Lively v. Baldoni and Himself: ‘I’m What Mel Brooks Would Look Like If He Took the Substance’
Judd Apatow took aim at Donald Trump, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk in his monologue that opened the 77th annual DGA Awards Saturday at the Beverly Hilton.
Judd Apatow took aim at President Donald Trump, Jeff Bezos, the “It Ends With Us” litigation spree and himself in his opening monologue Saturday at the 77th annual DGA Awards. Apatow, of course, riffed on how the country has taken a sharp turn to the right since the last DGA Awards, and he gently poked fun at Hollywood for its eager embrace of diversity and boundary-pushing issues that are now in the crosshairs of President Donald Trump and his far-right brigade of reformers. Apatow is a prolific producer who has fielded cutting edge movies (“The 40 Year-Old Virgin,” “Knocked Up,” “Anchorman”), TV series (“The Larry Sanders Show,” “Freaks and Geeks,” “Girls”) and of late has turned his lens to documentaries about influential pop culture figures including Garry Shandling, George Carlin and country-pop stars the Avett Brothers.
