Yes!

Vanity Fair has an oral history of Freaks and Geeks.
JUDD APATOW: Paul remembered every detail of everything that had happened to him in high school: every happy moment, every humiliation. The running gag in the writers’ room was that Paul would tell a horrible story and I would say, “How old were you when that happened?” Implying probably 12, and it was always 17. I had seen him as this cool comedian. I hadn’t realized he had all these incredibly funny, dark stories. He was the guy who wore the “Parisian night suit” to school [as Sam does in the episode “Looks and Books”].
This will surely be the only instance on this blog of championing Apatow.
