Paul Feig Encore

GGACP celebrates the birthday (September 17) of writer, director and actor Paul Feig ("Bridesmaids," "Ghostbusters," A Simple Favor") with this ENCORE of a memorable interview from 2018.

Schulz and the untimely demise of "Freaks and Geeks." Also, Thurston Howell sings the blues, Jim Nabors sings "Ave Maria," George Lazenby tangles with Telly Savalas, and Gilbert introduces Paul to the "Jack Frost" sketch. PLUS: Serge Gainsbourg! In praise of Jill Clayburgh! The return of Crazy Guggenheim! "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions"! And the (arguably) funniest half-hour in sitcom history! Learn more about your ad choices.
