Was Ira character based on Judd Apatow?


I read that in interviews, Seth Rogen doesn't really identify with Ira at all and says that he was trying to be like Judd Apatow when he was 19. It seems like Judd was really writing about his own personal time with comedy legends such as Roseanne Barr and others. Adam Sandler could have been really like the Mark David character, Ira's roomate.
