[edit] E-mail exchange with Judd Apatow

A heated e-mail exchange between Judd Apatow and Brazill gained infamy after being featured in Harper's Magazine.

In a series of at least nine messages, Brazill:

• accuses Apatow of stealing sketch ideas from him,
• tells him to "die in a fiery accident and taste [his] own blood", and
• signs off one e-mail: "Get cancer."

Apatow's retorts include:

• "If you think cancellation hurts me at this point, you haven't been following my career as closely as I thought",
• "After you said 'get cancer' did you really think I was looking to heal our relationship? Usually the cancer insult is a closer. I'm sure everyone who has suffered with that appreciates your sharp wit", and
• "I should have told everyone on the Ben Stiller show, no rock band sketches, that's Brazill's area. So hold on to your hate and rage, even though it makes no sense. I'll go back to my life of thievery and leeching. As for the cancer, I'll wait till you get it and then steal it from you."
