The kitchen is closed

A little help from his friends

Judd Apatow is using his two-episode stint as guest host of "The Late, Late Show" to visit with friends. He's got his former roommate Adam Sandler on tonight, and on Friday he features Garry Shandling, his old boss from "The Larry Sanders Show," and Lena Dunham, his producing partner on "Girls." 11:35 p.m. WCCO, Ch. 4
