DGA Awards Host Judd Apatow Takes On Dual Strikes, Fran Drescher As “The Voice Of Reason”, M&As, Byron Allen & Pornhub


If there's a holy grail of awards opening monologues, it's Judd Apatow's at the DGA Awards.In typical fashion, the filmmaker who is known for his killer Bill Cosby impersonation, took the mic for the fifth time to host the DGA Awards -- with the opening monologue cut off to the press room.
