'This is 40' is a hilarious new comedy starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann as an older version of the couple they played in the equally funny 'Knocked Up.' It's basically an entertaining take on how married couples deal with life once they hit the daunting 4-0.

In this new featurette, we see more of Segel's time in the film.

But now that Judd Apatow is Judd Apatow, 'The Simpsons' are producing the long lost script, which will air next year.
