“I’m about to start work with my partner Michael Bonfiglio on a documentary about George Carlin,” Apatow said.
The documentary received rave reviews from critics and was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards, winning one for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special.

“So I’m looking forward to watching a lot of Carlin interviews and specials.
