Judd Apatow Talks Meeting Obama on 'Tonight Show'At the White House Correspondents Dinner, Judd Apatow's strategy for meeting President Obama was simple: Stay close to Tracy Morgan. The '30 Rock' star would "find a way," he said on 'The Tonight Show' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC). But the director's wife, Leslie Mann, needed his escort to the bathroom. When Apatow returned, Morgan was crying. He'd just met Obama.

Apatow's plan B was to "pay an enormous amount of money and go to an event, which I'm happy to do, because I support him." Instead of discussing health care or the economy, Apatow just wanted to know if the president had seen 'Superbad.' No, but he had an opinion on 'Funny People.'

Apatow then shared J.J. Abrams' "picture of me taking a picture with the president. That's why it looks scary like an episode of 'Lost.'
