As a die-hard fan of Larry David’s brilliant and hilarious work, I can’t help but feel a mix of admiration and melancholy as he prepares to bid adieu to Curb Your Enthusiasm. Over the years, Larry has masterfully portrayed a character that is both an exaggerated version of himself and a unique creation, leaving us in stitches with his witty dialogues and unapologetic antics.


Audience members continue to be astonished by an iconic moment from a popular 90s sitcom, which was recently rediscovered in an old episode of a cherished HBO show that ran for a full 12 seasons.

Additionally, the star played a significant role in the creation, scriptwriting, and executive production of a successful NBC television series, earning two Emmy Awards for his contributions to the program.

In the mid-1980s, he worked as a writer for Saturday Night Live for a short while. Later, he reappeared on the show periodically as a guest performer throughout the subsequent years.

Right now, the comedian is traveling around the U.S. for a comedy tour that will wrap up by December of this year.

But can you guess who it is?

It is actor and writer, Larry David. 

He is known for creating and writing the HBO series, Curb Your Enthusiasm, which first began airing 25 years earlier on October 17, 1999. 

In this TV sitcom, David assumed a prominent position, playing a character based on himself. Many well-known actors, like Jon Hamm and Ted Danson, made guest appearances while it was broadcast.

Following a run of 12 seasons and 55 Emmy nods, the finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm aired back in early April this year.

A social media user took to X over the past weekend and uploaded throwback stills of Larry from an episode in the third season of the HBO show. 

In the given scene, the actor donned a gray wig and a mustache while he was filming, with the backdrop being the movie set in New York City.

In this scenario, he assumed the part of a crime kingpin, while famed director Martin Scorsese briefly appeared in that specific segment, portraying the director character.

Alongside the images, the fan typed out in the post, ‘I’m still amazed that this is Larry David.’

Another joked, ‘That’s what he looks like when he’s not in costume for his character,’ while one fan shared, ‘I loved this season. I miss this show already.’

In an interview with Vanity Fair in June, Larry expressed his thoughts on the series, stating, “Our audience prefers us to steer clear of political correctness and not delve too deeply into current events, and they are unconcerned about being ‘woke’.

‘They just want to laugh, and they’re not going to be offended by it. And we don’t care either.’ 

In an April interview on Today, David playfully stated that the character he’s playing named Larry is essentially him, but a version of himself who wouldn’t fit into regular society since he’d likely get arrested.

In regards to the show’s end, the star said he feels the ‘slightest shred’ of sentimentalism. 

He playfully remarked, “I find it challenging to maintain my current on-camera antics every week at this age. It seems absurd! I can pull it off in my 50s, 60s, and even up to my mid-70s. However, I don’t see myself continuing that style as I enter my 80s.

Additionally, Larry mentioned that the show was more about improvisation instead of following a script. He said, “That’s what makes it so entertaining!

He went on saying, “The performers and the whole crew, they’re just hilarious! I can’t fathom a moment in my life more enjoyable than the one I had working on that series.

Beyond my stint on Curb Your Enthusiasm, I’m also recognized as a collaborator in creating the witty and humorous NBC sitcom, Seinfeld, alongside its charismatic lead actor, Jerry Seinfeld, from a lifestyle perspective.

He was also a head writer on the show and was an executive producer. 

Back in 1989, I found myself captivated by the debut of a sitcom called Seinfeld that would become a defining part of my television viewing experience. This hilarious series ran for an impressive nine seasons before wrapping up in 1998. The talented cast consisted of Jerry, alongside Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards, who together brought the characters to life with their unique charm and wit.

Seinfeld received numerous honors, including three Golden Globes, ten Emmys, six Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards, and four People’s Choice Awards.

Speaking directly today, I’d like to share some insights into the genesis of our NBC series. It all started one day, Jerry and I, engaged in a casual conversation in a local grocery store, discussing breakfast cereals and more.

We shared a playful rapport, often saying things like, “This feels right for the show. It’s dialogue like this that I rarely hear on TV, reflecting our genuine conversations.

On the show’s success, Larry expressed, ‘Anything that I do that’s successful is a surprise.’

Despite Curb Your Enthusiasm concluding, Larry has stayed active with his autumn tour that started a month ago.

The upcoming discussion featuring Larry David is called “A Conversation with Larry David” and is scheduled to end on December 5 this year, having previously visited cities like Chicago, Portland, and Austin along the way.

Each show will be, ‘an informal discussion about [his] time on Seinfeld, Curb, and everything in between.’
