Judd Apatow is best known as a producer, writer, and the director of movies like The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Trainwreck, but he got his start in the world of stand-up comedy. On Monday's Tonight Show, he went back to his roots, roping in his wife and daughters, Judaism, and Bill Cosby for a pretty great stand-up act.
