Running gags on television
As part of a running gag during his appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and Conan, Rudd has brought a clip from the film Mac and Me, where the wheelchair-bound Eric (Jade Calegory) flies off a cliff while Mac watches on, instead of showing clips from the actual film he is there to promote.[34][35][36]

Music career
On November 10, 2013, actor Will Ferrell announced that rapper Kanye West and Rudd are working on an Anchorman album stating: "He's doing an album with Paul Rudd — which I shouldn't have said, anyway it's out there," Ferrell, dressed as Ron Burgundy said. "I think they were just comparing notes and laying down some tracks, as they say in the biz. Rudd is doing all the hooks. That's a big deal. I heard the album's terrible, by the way. Awful."[40]
Personal life
In 2003, Rudd married Julie Yaeger[41] and the couple have two children:[42] a son, Jack Sullivan (b. 2006), and a daughter, Darby (b. 2010).
