Judd Apatow's two-part George Carlin documentary is officially a go at HBO

Deadline

Apatow first revealed in June that he was about to start work on a documentary on the comedy icon with longtime collaborator Michael Bonfiglio. "I think his work turned out to be very prophetic," Apatow told the Boston Globe. Carlin’s daughter, Kelly Carlin, said she has “dreamt” of finding the right people to tell her father’s story through a documentary that honors his work, while also “not shying away from his personal struggles and humanity.”
