\n\tJudd Apatow<\/a> continues his streak of showcasing the feature talents of comedians with a new untitled edgy romantic comedy he\u2019s working on with Nikki Glaser<\/a> at Universal<\/a> Pictures. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe sell-out stand-up and WGA award winner who wowed as the host of the Golden Globes last January will star in, produce and co-write with Apatow and Sean O\u2019Connor. She previously starred in Apatow\u2019s Trainwreck which was a star project for Amy Schumer back in 2015. That grossed $110M stateside, $140.8M global. <\/p>\n

\n\tThree-time Primetime Emmy winner Apatow is also producing. The project remains in early development, hence no director attached at this time. <\/p>\n

\n\tO\u2019Connor was a writer for the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, which Glaser was the first woman to host solo.<\/p>\n

\n\tApatow and Josh Church will produce through their longstanding Apatow Productions overall deal with the Studio. <\/p>\n

\n\tSEVP of Production Development Erik Baiers will oversee the project on behalf of the Studio.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThis October, in front of a sold-out crowd at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, Glaser taped her newest hour-long comedy special for Hulu which is premiering in 2026. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn film, Glaser is co-writing, producing and starring in an original comedy inspired by the classic game MASH for Paramount Pictures, as we first told you. <\/a>This Sliding Doors-style comedy follows a woman whose childhood MASH game magically becomes reality, and she discovers that the perfect life isn\u2019t the one she imagined.<\/p>\n

\n\tGlaser was nominated for a Grammy in Best Comedy Album for \u201cSomeday You\u2019ll Die\u201d, an Emmy for Outstanding Variety Pre-Recorded Special for the same show, as well as a Golden Globe. She won a WGA Award in Variety\/Specials category for \u201cSomeday You\u2019ll Die.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tApatow\u2019s relationship with the Studio dates back to his 2005 directorial debut,\u00a0The 40-Year-Old Virgin, which blasted Daily Show\u2018s Steve Carell to movie star status. This was followed up by Apatow at Uni with Knocked Up which was a centerpiece for Seth Rogen. He also helmed for the studio Funny People,\u00a0This is 40,\u00a0Trainwreck, and the Pete Davidson semi-biopic\u00a0The King of Staten Island\u00a0for the Studio. <\/p>\n

\n\tGlaser is represented by UTA, Brillstein and Ginsburg Daniels Kallis. Apatow is represented by WME, Mosaic and Ziffren Brittenham LLP.\u00a0O\u2019Connor is represented by CAA and Felker Toczek Suddleson McGinnis Ryan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Judd Apatow continues his streak of showcasing the feature talents of comedians with a new untitled edgy romantic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244227,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[88,133856,96345,14497],"class_list":{"0":"post-244226","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-judd-apatow","10":"tag-nikki-glaser","11":"tag-universal"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
