Judd Apatow has become a crusader against Bill Cosby and has not tempered that down at all while he promotes his latest film, Trainwreck with Amy Schumer. He was on the Tonight Show last night to test his stand-up skills and, obviously, the subject turns to Cosby.
Apatow started things off light, knocking off bits about his family, about embracing his ugliness and how he’s not that recognizable. Then, he notes that Cosby is still on the road and wondered what his jokes must be like.
“Do you think he still talks about it?” Then, while doing a spot-on Cosby impression, Apatow says, “You ever been in trouble with the wife? You ever get into the dog house with the wife because of something that you did? Like the other day, there was something about me in the paper and I didn’t want my wife to read the paper. So I got up at 5:oo in the morning and I snuck out to the driveway to get the paper. And I hid the paper.”
He continued, “And the next day, I got up and I hid the paper. And then the next day, I forgot to get the paper!” This leads to an uncomfortable meeting between Cosby and his wife.
Apatow’s performance came as more quotes from a 2005 deposition by Cosby revealed how the comedian seduced women and tried to hide his affairs from his wife.
