Knocked Up took the box office on both side of the Atlantic by storm this summer following on from the success of The 40 Year Old Virgin.The has made household names of Jonah Hill and Jason Segel as the geek clique movies rule the big screen.

Tell us about the work process with Judd?

Jonah Hill: I would write a lot of ideas. Judd is our favourite person to work with ‘cause he trusts the people he works with to be funny.

Jason SegelS: It’s nice to be challenged like that because you know you have to show up sharp every day because not only do you have Judd to contend with, but you are acting against four improvisation geniuses. So if you want to get a joke in the movie you’d better show up sharp. JH: If you don’t come prepared and stay sharp you will have less time in the film.

So there is a sense of competition?

JH: Not really. I was happy to suggest jokes to other people. We wanted to elevate the work so everyone was hilarious.

How did Katherine fit in?
