“It was at the height of ER, and I went to a Knicks game with George. I remember feeling as invisible as I’ve ever felt. I thought I was becoming a star, and I was like, ‘Oh, not a soul’s looking at me,’” Adam told The New York Times.

“Every woman in the place was looking at him, every guy’s going, ‘Man, I wish I was that guy,’” the comedian added.

Responding to the baseball outing, George said, “That was really fun,” and noted that they had kept in touch but hadn’t found the right project to collaborate on until director Noah Baumbach called about Jay Kelly.

The duo were recently at the 2025 AFI Fest together to support their movie. See the photos!
