“Verizon’s incredible generosity provides the opportunity to create the same impact in arts, technology and the business of innovation at the high school level in South Los Angeles as the Iovine Young Academy did at USC,” said Iovine, music entrepreneur and philanthropist, in a press release. “Verizon’s commitment to education has always been impressive, and we’re grateful for their support of the Iovine and Young Center.”

Cable Guyproducer Judd Apatow previously reflected on making the movie, plus the mixed reception upon its release that ultimately elevated the movie to cult classic status.
“When we shot it, we laughed so hard every day. We really enjoyed watching Jim perform in that character. It was a really fun shoot,” Apatowtold Vultureback in 2011. “When the movie came out, the fact that it got a weird reception totally blindsided us. We didn’t see that coming at all.
