1. Mr. Skin’s Backstory and Pop Culture Legacy (04:04–06:55)
-
How Mr. Skin Made It Into 'Knocked Up'
- Mr. Skin shares how his website was immortalized in the 2007 film Knocked Up, explaining that director Judd Apatow heard him on the radio and thought “a guy doing a celebrity nudity website” would be comedic gold. Mr. Skin says agreeing to the reference was “the luckiest thing ever.” The film’s popularity skyrocketed his brand.
- Quote:
“The year before Knocked Up came out, I got a call from an attorney who said the guy that did 40 Year Old Virgin wants to have your website in his next movie… Knocked Up made $250 million... the fact that they mentioned MrSkin.com as much as they did was just such a lucky thing for me.”

“Here we are, you know, almost 27 years later. I have 40 skin-pl-‘ployees’, and more importantly, I'm on your show to talk about the 10 best nude scenes of the year. Like, what a horrible job I have.”
