Larry David Announces :”A Conversation With…” Live Tour Dates In DC And Boston

larry david tour 2022

Writer, producer, and legendary comedian Larry David will be bringing A Conversation with Larry David live and on stage to Washington, DC at The Anthem on March 29 and Boston, MA at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway on April 1.

Joined by a moderator, the Live Nation-produced event will feature an informal discussion about his time on Seinfeld,Curb, and everything in between.

This comes on the heels of HBO’S announcement that Season 12 of Curb Your Enthusiasm, airing on Sunday, April 4, will be its final season.

“Hi everyone! It’s Larry. I’m really looking forward to seeing you all. Just so you know, I’ve recently had plastic surgery on my face and the doctor, who everyone raved about, totally botched it, leaving me devoid of all expression. So if I seem more sour than usual, that’s the reason, but don’t let it stop you from having fun!” – Larry David

Larry David co-created “Seinfeld,” which debuted in 1989 and ran for nine seasons. As head writer and executive producer, the pressure of delivering a weekly show led to his abuse of anabolic steroids, which contributed to his ill-temper and shrunken testicles. In 1999, HBO aired his one hour special, “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” which spawned the series. In it, he plays an incredibly gifted, loveable writer who spreads bonhomie and good cheer to everyone fortunate enough to encounter him. During one of “Curb’s” many long hiatuses, David created two new shows, “Girls” and “Orange is the New Black.” To better understand the motivation of his female characters, he began cross-dressing and moved into the Barbizon Hotel for Women. He was evicted after his true identity was uncovered when he evacuated naked from a fire started by his roommate who forgot to unplug her curling iron. After a spiritual sabbatical in Poland, he returned to the US in 2009 to star in Woody Allen’s comedy, “Whatever Works.” The movie garnered David the prestigious Gottlieb Award for “Best Actor with No Training and No Idea What He Was Doing.” Then in 2013, he co-wrote and starred in the HBO Films’ comedy, “Clear History,” elevating him to cult hero status amongst illiterates and diabetics. In 2015, he made his Broadway debut at the Cort Theater as an actor and playwright in “Fish in the Dark,” which he penned over a three-day span while sitting on the toilet. The play broke all Broadway records for most coughing by an audience during a performance. He’s currently pursuing his real estate license and can be contacted through the Inland Empire branch of “Century 21.”

Larry David Documentary to Premiere on HBO Max in March

Larry David Story

A two-part documentary about Larry David , titled “The Larry David Story,” will premiere on HBO Max on March 1.

The HBO original doc captures David’s rise to comedy stardom, from his start in standup to co-creating “ Seinfeld ” to leading 11 seasons of the ground-breaking “ Curb Your Enthusiasm .”

“Twenty-five years old, I didn’t know what I wanted to do,” David says in the trailer. “Well, what do you do when you’re talking and people are laughing? You do comedy.”

David continues: “I never thought of myself as being funny. Anything I was associated with that could be successful was a shock.”

Along with Jerry Seinfeld, David helped launch “Seinfeld” to becoming one of the most successful television shows of all time.

“My mother would call me up and go, ‘Larry, do they like you? Do they tell you you’re doing a great job?'” David says. “Yeah, Ma, they like me. The show is No. 1 in the country.”

Leaving “Seinfeld” after its seventh season, David created “Curb Your Enthusiasm” in 2000 after a one-hour HBO special titled “Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm” in 1999. The 11th season of the half-scripted comedy, in which David plays a fictionalized version of himself, premiered in fall 2021.

Popular on Variety

“I’m a total fraud. And the ‘Curb’ outlet for me is this guy I wanna be,” David says. “He’s completely honest, just the opposite of who I am, and it’s a thrill.”

Both parts of “The Larry David Story,” titled “American Jewboy” and “The Jewish Fountainhead,” respectively, will premiere back to back on March 1 at 9 p.m. on HBO Max.

Watch the trailer below.

America’s favorite misanthrope strikes again: “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star Larry David has asked HBO to pull his documentary a day before it was set to premiere.

“The #LarryDavidStory on @HBOMax is being postponed,” said a Monday tweet from HBO Documentaries. “Instead, Larry has decided he wants to do it in front of an audience.”

“In between reflecting on his bumpy road to success — and hit series ‘Seinfeld’ and ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ — David shares his thoughts on everything from metaphysics to parenthood. Genuine, hilarious, and eye-opening, ‘The Larry David Story’ shines a new light on the infamous cynic who remains a singular voice in comedy today,” HBO said.

On Tuesday morning, HBO set a trailer for the documentary to private on YouTube, according to the Hollywood Reporter . The trailer had shown snippets of the men’s conversation about David’s career as a stand-up comic and his trajectory in comedy.

HBO did not comment beyond the tweet.

larry david tour 2022

ATLANTA – As congratulatory videos go, Larry David’s for Billy Andrade was, well, pretty…pretty…pretty good.

Andrade, 58, is set to receive the Payne Stewart Award, presented annually by the PGA Tour to a professional golfer who best exemplifies Stewart’s steadfast values of character, charity and sportsmanship, this evening.

The PGA Tour posted a video of David, presumably in his office, congratulating the award winner.

“I heard you won the Payne Stewart Award. That’s fantastic news. So well deserved,” David began. “And you know what’s interesting is you were one of the finalists for the Larry David Most Selfish Man of the World Award. It was right down to you and a couple of other people. Of course, I won it for the 35 th year in a row. It’s tough to beat me there. You have to be a little bit more of an —hole. That’s the only advice I can give you. But we’ll invite you to the dinner.”

Andrade threw his head back in laughter as he watched the video.

It turns out that Andrade and David are good friends, originally meeting through the Farrelly Brothers, who are best known for the comedic hit movies “Something About Mary” and “Dumb and Dumber.” In fact, Andrade made a non-speaking cameo as a doctor during Season 6 of David’s hit HBO show “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

“They stuck me with a doctor’s outfit and a stethoscope. I was just in the background when (another doctor) said a very bad word and the look on my face was just utter shock,” he recalled. “Only two people called me and asked me if I was on the episode. It was John Huston who has never called me before, or maybe ever since, although we’re good friends, and my college roommate, Jerry Haas, the coach at Wake Forest. It was such a big appearance that I got two at least two calls.”

Andrade has played a bunch of golf with David and confirmed he remains obsessed with the game.

“Last time I went to his house for dinner in March I walked in and he had to show me this tip he’d gotten that day,” Andrade said. “He wanted to know if he should try it. It turned into a 10-minute lesson before we’d even had a drink. But it just shows how much he loves the game and just wants to get better like everybody else.”

And what’s it like to tee it up with David?

“It’s like being on the show,” Andrade said.

This Larry David driving range story is the ultimate real life Curb Your Enthusiasm experience

larry david tour 2022

For UK readers of a certain age, queuing behind a real-life Victor Meldrew whilst he strives against the banality of daily life would be an incredible sight.

The character, once described as an ‘irascible curmudgeon’, often felt the world was against him from the get-go, but for those without knowledge of what may be a niche character, there is the irrepressible Larry David.

On the latest episode of the ‘We Might Be Drunk Podcast’, hosts Sam Morril and Mark Normand talk to actor Simon Rex, who reveals he was in the line behind the co-creator of Seinfeld, when he witnessed the full Curb Your Enthusiasm experience.

@wemightbedrunkpod Larry David has a point with Simon Rex new episode at 9pm eastern #sammorril #marknormand #standupcomedy #wemightbedrunk #simonrex #fyp #ByeByeSundayBlues ? original sound – wemightbedrunkpod

Rex reveals he heard Larry ask, “Why do you charge $11 for the, the, the basket of balls?” only to receive the reply that it’s been that price for a long time.

In comes the CYE adventure:

“Yeah, but then I give you a 20. I got to get a five and four ones. Why not make it a ten? Now I got…”

Rex can’t believe his eyes and ears, pleading, “Why is nobody seeing this but me? This is right out of the show. He’s bitching about a dollar to the lady, and she doesn’t know who he is. It was THE BEST!”

Clearly a fan, the actor/comedian can be just as curt, tweeting a couple of days ago, asking:

“If you see I’m on my phone don’t just start talking to me like an unhinged sociopath and act like I’m being rude. Read the room. Notice I’m busy and shut your face up. Ok? Thanks. Wait, who am I talking to?”

‘i drove the living p*** out of the ball today’ – jordan spieth left frustrated by ‘bizarre’ current form after opening 73.

larry david tour 2022

On Thursday, Jordan Spieth shot an opening round 73 (+1) at the Valero Texas Open. In typical Spieth fashion, the 73 was relatively unconventional with circles and squares all over the scorecard.

On the front nine, Spieth four bogeys and two birdies to make the turn in 38 (+2). On the back nine, things got even more interesting. The three-time major champion made a double-bogey on the par-5 14th followed by an incredible hole-in-one on the par 3-16th.

After the round, Spieth said “I’m playing so much better than I’ve been scoring”.

He added that he “drove the living piss out of the ball today”, which caused frustration because one bad drive on 15 created a big number. Spieth then said, “my driving stats don’t look the way they actually feel”.

While speaking in with the media in his pre-tournament conference for LIV Miami, Anthony Kim revealed that he was told by doctors that he “may not have much time left” at some point during his twelve years away from professional golf.

“I mean, you know, not to get too far into it, but when doctors are telling you that you may not have much time left, that’s a pretty rude awakening. I still think about it to this day when I’m out there and I get frustrated with my golf, you know, how far I’ve come. And other people don’t need to know the journey. I’m going to share it, and the people that find inspiration and strength from it, I hope it can influence them in a positive way. But yeah, it was — I got to a point where, you know, I may not be here speaking to you guys.”

Despite the poor results on the leaderboard, Kim shot a 65 in the final round at Hong Kong Golf Club, which is incredibly impressive considering he told David Feherty in an interview this week that he picked up a club for the first time three months before LIV Jeddah.

The 38-year-old credits his two-year old daughter, Bella, for saving his life and being his inspiration.

“I got professional help. I think that I didn’t deal with a lot of the trauma and whatever came from my life, and I buried it because I didn’t want to show anybody weakness, right. And I thought by showing vulnerability, that was weakness, and I’ve come to a point in my life where I don’t care if somebody thinks that about me or not.

“My daughter is all I care about, and I know it almost sounds corny for me to say but as long as she’s proud of me, I’m a happy man.”

Kim is set to tee it up for the first round of LIV Miami at Trump Doral on Friday.

Notah Begay gives gloomy update on Tiger’s injuries ahead of 2024 Masters

larry david tour 2022

While speaking with USA Today , Tiger Woods’ good friend, Notah Begay III, discussed the health of the 15-time major champion.

“He’s trying to formulate a strategy and approach that he can work within given the constraints that he’s presented with. And he’s got some constraints,” Begay said. “He’s got zero mobility in that left ankle and really has low-back challenges now, which he knew he was going to have.”

At Begay’s tournament he hosts that Tiger’s son Charlie played in, Tiger told him, “My ankle doesn’t move. So, something’s going to take the stress. I mean, the stress is going to transfer somewhere else.”

At the Genesis Invitational, that pain transferred to Woods’ back, causing him to withdraw from the tournament.

“For the past couple months, he’s been trying to find a way to recover,” Begay added. “He can play the golf. We always knew the question was going to be ‘Can he walk the 72 (holes)?’ That’s still up in the air. But can he recover, from one round to the next? That’s the biggest question that I really don’t know and he’s not going to know either until he gets out there and figures out whether the way he’s prepared for this year’s Masters is going to work for him.”

Last year, Woods made the cut at Augusta, but was forced to withdraw over the weekend due to plantar fasciitis.

The week will be sure to test Tiger, as Augusta National is one of the most difficult walks in golf.

Larry David Spills On Bruce Springsteen's Wild 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Line

Ben Blanchet

Larry David revealed that Bruce Springsteen came up with a hilarious line on the spot during one of his guest appearances on the final season of “ Curb Your Enthusiasm .”

The “Curb” creator — who spoke at HBO & Tribeca Film’s “An Evening With Larry David” event on Friday — said the Boss “absolutely” improvised his “I didn’t make you out for a floor fucker” line in his cameo on the show last month.

“He made that up,” David said of the line .

“Curb” star Susie Essman , who appeared alongside David at the event, said the iconic rocker did “fantastic” on the show, according to People magazine .

“What you want from an improviser is they surprise you,” she said.

Springsteen, who made a brief appearance earlier in the final season, also made a cameo in the show’s penultimate episode titled “Ken/Kendra” where he gets COVID-19. The Boss points to David as the reason he got sick and cancels stops on his tour.

The plotline of the episode was written and Springsteen’s scene was shot in 2022, months before he postponed shows in real life “ due to illness ” and he along with his wife Patti Scialfa tested positive for COVID-19, The Hollywood Reporter noted .

The Boss would later postpone stops on his world tour in September after he announced that he was getting treated for symptoms of peptic ulcer disease.

“Bruce got sick and had to cancel his tour, and I just turned to Larry and said, ‘You have an amazing ability to manifest negative things. You are the supreme negative manifester,’” the show’s executive producer Jeff Schaffer told THR.

“I remember going, ‘Oh my God, it’s exactly what we did.’ In the show, we say he had complications so his health was really at risk. It played out just like we said — which I feel terrible about! The good news is he got better, and he was hilarious. Happy ending.”

Schaffer said that Springsteen, who is currently on the road with the E Street Band, “loved” his scenes.

“He’d seen the show, but a lot of people haven’t worked the way we do, where it’s not all scripted. Lots of things get said. And we kept telling him, ‘We’ll use the best stuff,’ so he could try everything,” Schaffer explained.

“And he played around. He knew the basic beats, but he was in there adding and slugging around. We showed him the scenes because we were so happy with how they turned out.”

HBO aired the final episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” on Sunday.

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Larry David is keen to do more Curb Your Enthusiasm . During a TV Academy event at the DGA tonight, David confirmed that the long-running HBO series will be back for a 12th season.

When asked whether he’ll do more, the creator and star of the show replied affirmatively.

It comes after season 11 finished airing at the end of December. This season followed Larry as he navigated the fact that he didn’t have the requisite five-foot fence around his pool after a burglar drowned in it.

As a result, he was forced to hire Maria Sofia, a somewhat untalented actress and niece of the dead burglar for his new show, Young Larry. David starts dating councilwoman Irma Kostroski, played by Tracey Ullman, to help while Leon searches for another Mary Ferguson to take to Asia with him.

The event featured David, executive producer Jeff Schaffer, who earlier in the day was at Deadline’s Contenders TV event representing FX Networks series Dave, Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, JB Smoove, Cheryl Hines and Richard Lewis. It was moderated by Rich Eisen.

Curb ostensibly operates on David’s schedule and whims.

“As usual, if [Larry] has an area that he is excited about, we’ll do more. I imagine he will,” HBO and HBO Max Chief Content Officer Casey Bloys told Deadline in February.

David exec produces alongside Schaffer, Gavin Polone and Garlin.

Larry David shells out $5.7 million for an idyllic Montecito cottage.

Larry David’s new California pad is pretty, pretty, pretty good!

The “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star is getting in on the Montecito frenzy by purchasing an idyllic 1920s French Normandy-style cottage for $5.7 million in the neighborhood.

Closing on the deal back in October, the four-bedroom, 4.5 bathroom abode was originally designed by the highly regarded local architect George Washington Smith at the time.

The listing explained, the home was an “unusual design concept for the historically renowned Father of Spanish Colonial Revival style architecture.”

Spanning over 2,800 square-feet, features include a living room with an open beam ceiling and a fireplace, a formal dining room, and a kitchen with a butlers pantry overlooking garden views.

The home spans over 2,800 square feet.

Most views on the main level open out to the outdoors, which boasts a spacious red brick patio, an emerald lawn surrounded by citrus tree, and several pathways.

The previous listing notes the home was recently renovated to “incorporate modern luxuries and conveniences.”

Each of the bedrooms comes with ensuite bathrooms. The primary suite comes with a. soaking tub.

The living room with high beam ceilings.

His friend and “Seinfeld” star, Julia Louis Dreyfus, owns a $5 million eco-friendly vacation home only a mile away, on Miramar beach.

Other notable celebrities in the area include the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Rob Lowe , Ariana Grande, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle .

Meanwhile, David, a Brooklyn native, maintains an impressive portfolio of homes across both coasts, with his primary home in Pacific Palisades, two other smaller homes in that area, and a longtime getaway on Massachusetts’ Martha’s Vineyard.

A third bedroom.

The mastermind behind “Seinfeld,” 74, recently married producer Ashley Underwood, 37, in October 2020.

Cristal Clarke with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices held the listing. Patty Waltcher with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty repped David.

‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Was Larry David’s Tribute to a Great American Hero: ‘Larry David’

By Esther Zuckerman

Esther Zuckerman

“I’m 76 years old, and I have never learned a lesson in my entire life.” 

In the series finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm , Larry David tells this to a child in an Atlanta hotel lobby who throws a ball at him. The mother wants the child to learn the lesson of saying “sorry,” forcing Larry to stay put and receive that apology. Larry doesn’t have time for that, and unleashes what is essentially the maxim for the entire series — and maybe David’s entire career. 

In the show, Larry’s essential trait is stubbornness. He’s a man who has gone to such lengths over his grievances that he opened up a spite store next to a coffee shop he didn’t like. The last episode proves that stubbornness is also a key trait of David’s; he has refused to let the public live with their revulsion of the Seinfeld ending despite the fact that it aired nearly 30 years ago. 

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

The lie of the sitcom is familiarity. After spending countless half-hours with these characters, you start to feel like you know them. The actors’ real personas, whatever those are, start to blend with their fictional ones. If you cross paths with a sitcom star on the street, you might have to do a double take. Who are you really encountering? A performer? Or the person they have played? 

This is never more true than in the case of Curb . The onscreen Larry David and the Larry David of real life are not exactly the same person, but they are pretty, pretty close. Or at least they seem to be. “Larry David” of Curb has always felt more real than the “Jerry Seinfeld” of Seinfeld . Perhaps it’s because Curb , unlike Seinfeld , was not shot on a soundstage and not beholden to network television rules. But it’s also because Larry’s foibles are more nakedly visible, and at least seem to be rooted in a deeper truth. (Jerry on Seinfeld was always pretty cool. Larry on Curb was never that way.) 

Larry David Tried So Hard to Avoid All Emotion on the Last Day of Filming 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'

John mulaney comedy special to livestream on netflix, bruce springsteen jokes about his postponed tour on 'curb your enthusiasm'.

David has given his reasons. He’s 76 years old, and Curb has been running on and off for 24 years. Still, while this last season was not perfect, it doesn’t feel like he has run out of material. 

The finale alone gave us a wealth of high jinks independent of the trial featuring the anti-Larry character witnesses. Larry refuses to turn off his cellphone on the flight to Georgia and then starts squealing on Leon (J.B. Smoove) and Jeff ( Jeff Garlin ) when they won’t either. Larry pegs Richard Lewis’ new girlfriend, an old flame played by Allison Janney, as a liar because she won’t let him into a lane when he’s trying to exit the highway. He then tries to get her to admit she attempted suicide after her first breakup with Richard. (The last thing we hear of her is that she bought a gun possibly to shoot Larry. I almost expected the series to end with Larry dying at the hand of C.J. Cregg.) And Larry and Jeff fail Susie (Susie Essman) one more time by stealing a salad dressing recipe from Auntie Rae for her anniversary gift. The best jokes weren’t thanks to memories of everything Larry has done in the past. They were what Larry is currently doing. 

The last time David said he was ending Curb after Season Eight, he ended up eventually coming back for four more seasons. David’s stubbornness would imply that there’s always a chance for the show to return. I don’t think that will happen again. After all, the unspoken sadness of this season has been the death of Richard Lewis, a reminder of the very real distance between the fictional world of “Larry David” and his actual counterpart. David’s heartbreaking statement on Lewis’ death showed a level of emotion that the Curb Larry would never dare show . 

Drake’s Response Track to Kendrick Lamar Appears to Have Leaked

O.j. simpson executor says ron goldman's family will get 'zero, nothing' from estate, a newbie's guide to 'fallout', inside jimmy buffett's tribute concert: mccartney, margaritas, and one hell of a parrothead party.

Curb has thrived on discomfort, but over the years has become more and more of a comfort show for its fans. We’ve learned to find the nobility in Larry’s stubbornness. It often leads to disaster, sure, but a lot of times he has a point. The more time you spend with Larry, the more you see the righteousness in him. That’s the line where Larry David and “Larry David” begin to blur even more. 

Life will always offer up little indignities and chances to mess up for Larry David. Now, we’ll just have to go on without him turning them into television.

Bruce Springsteen tour postponement was ‘manifested’ by Larry David, producer jokes

The producer of Curb Your Enthusiasm has joked that Larry David appeared to “manifest” Bruce Springsteen’s postponed tour after the US rock star appeared in an episode of the hit comedy series.

In the “Lawn Jockey” episode, which aired on 11 February, David is praised by the Boss for becoming a liberal hero after he unknowingly opposes a Georgia 2021 voting law that makes it illegal to provide food or water to voters waiting in line at the polls.

Springsteen is so impressed by Larry’s (David) stance that he asks to meet the Seinfield creator in real life. However, when they sit down for a meeting, things quickly go wrong. Just before Larry cuts the conversation short, he accidentally mixes up his and Springsteen’s water glasses.

The following day, he falls ill with Covid-19, and learns via a TV announcement that Springsteen also has the illness, and is blaming him for the cancellation of several shows on his tour. With the revelation that one of the world’s most popular musicians is now in danger, Larry is suddenly very unpopular.

In a classic case of life imitating art, Springsteen ended up postponing three of his shows in one week “due to illness” less than a year after shooting the episode. In April 2023, he and his wife, Patti Scialfa then came down with Covid; he was forced to postpone further shows in August after being “taken ill”.

“Bruce got sick and had to cancel his tour, and I just turned to Larry and said, ‘You have an amazing ability to manifest negative things,’” Curb’s executive producer Jeff Schaffer told The Hollywood Reporter .

“I remember going, ‘Oh my God, it’s exactly what we did.’ In the show, we say he had complications so his health was really at risk. It played out just like we said, which I feel terrible about!”

He added: “The good news is [Springsteen] got better, and he was hilarious. Happy ending.”

Schaffer teased that the Boss could return for the last ever episode of the show, which will air this week on 7 April.

Springsteen told fans in September that he had been forced to postpone his remaining 2023 shows while he recovered from peptic ulcer disease , a condition that causes ulcers to form in the stomach or small intestine, which in turn can lead to heartburn, nausea and stomach pain.

He is currently back out on tour after rescheduling his 2023 shows, which are now taking place from mid-March through to mid-April, then mid-August through to mid-September.

“Thanks to all my friends and fans for your good wishes, encouragement, and support,” he said in a statement in December, announcing the new tour dates.

“I’m on the mend and can’t wait to see you all.”

Larry David Says Bruce Springsteen Improvised This Explicit Line on Curb Your Enthusiasm

The singer was "absolutely" improvising during his appearance on the hit sitcom's final season, Larry David said

larry david tour 2022

Bruce Springsteen ’s stint on Curb Your Enthusiasm left quite the impression on the cast.

The 74-year-old musician appeared on a recent episode of the hit comedy series’ final season, and one of his more notable lines from the episode was actually improvised, according to Larry David .

On April 5, David, 76, reflected on Curb ’s currently airing final season and gave a fun behind-the-scenes anecdote about Springsteen’s appearance in particular at Tribeca Film’s An Evening With Larry David event.

“Springsteen was fantastic last week,” Susie Essman, a surprise guest at the event, said. “He really was. A lot of that was his stuff in that scene.”

David then chimed in, noting that the musician was “absolutely” improvising when he delivered one of the episode’s more hilarious lines, “I didn’t make you out for a floor f---er, Larry.”

“He made that up,” the Curb creator said.

John Johnson/HBO

Essman, 68, who plays Susie Greene on the show, added, "What you want from an improviser is they surprise you."

She and David then shouted out another star who’s made several appearances on Curb : Vince Vaughn .

“Vince is an amazing improviser,” Essman said, as David called the actor, who has repeatedly made cameos as Freddy Funkhouser, “Great.”

In last week’s episode, Springsteen’s storyline provided a hilarious backstory for his recent string of postponed concerts . 

He and David met for a meal to talk about his activism in Atlanta, and during their conversation over restaurant health inspection grades, the pair broke into an argument about whose water glass was whose.

Later, they both tested positive for COVID, leading Springsteen to postpone shows on his world tour — which he publicly blamed David for on social media.

Once David tested negative, he managed to break into Springsteen's home, where he found him sick, watching in a back house.

"They think I'm dying from the COVID I got from you," Springsteen said of his fans, blaming his illness on the water incident.

"I'm almost 99.9% sure that was my glass, Bruce," David responded.

In March, Springsteen resumed his world tour with the E Street Band more than six months after he’d postponed it. When the string of shows initially began in 2023, he postponed several due to various illnesses , and in September, he announced that he was being treated for peptic ulcer disease , prompting a more serious postponement. 

He took the stage for the first time on March 19 in Phoenix, Arizona, and was in great form as he rocked through his 29-song set and addressed the postponement.

"Phoenix, first I want to apologize if there was any discomfort because we had to move the show last time. . . . I hope we didn’t inconvenience you too much," he told the crowd, according to the Associated Press .

Curb Your Enthusiasm, Bruce Springsteen, Larry David

[This story contains spoilers from season 12, episode nine of Curb Your Enthusiasm , “Ken/Kendra.”]

Life imitated art again with the latest Curb Your Enthusiasm . Or, if you ask show boss Jeff Schaffer , “life imitated silly art.”

'tv's top 5': did the 'curb your enthusiasm' finale stick the landing, tv ratings: 'curb your enthusiasm' ends on up note.

“That’s Larry David’s middle name: Larry ‘Involvement’ David,” said Springsteen on CNN when making his first Curb cameo.

Now, in the ninth episode of season 12 — the penultimate episode before the Emmy-winning HBO comedy’s series finale this weekend — Springsteen returns. In the show, the Boss is so impressed with Larry’s political stance that he wants to meet the Seinfeld creator in real life.

But when they sit down at a table together in the home of the Greenes (Susie Essman and Jeff Garlin ), several things go awry. First, Springsteen’s manager Ken (played by trans comedian Ian Harvie) identifies himself as being formerly Kendra Morris and recalls how they used to have sex (and always on the floor). This prompts one of the episode’s best lines when Springsteen is aghast at Larry being a “floor fucker,” and Schaffer says that line was all the Boss.

“Bruce telling Larry, ‘I never took you for a floor fucker,’ is one of my favorite moments ever — like, in life,” recalls Schaffer when speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about the episode. “We knew we were going to be talking about floor fucking, but that was all Bruce. That was Bruce chiming in, which was amazing. We were like, ‘What! He’s so funny.'”

Schaffer adds, “If the music thing doesn’t work out, he definitely has a future in comedy.”

This, of course, will not bode well for Larry’s reputation for his upcoming trial, where he faces up to one year in prison and a fine of $10,000 for obstructing the election process in the state of Georgia. He also was threatened in this episode with being “Me Too-ed” after he offended his masseuse.

The COVID Curb plotline was written in 2022, and they filmed the scene with Springsteen in one day in December 2022, on the improv comedy’s final day of shooting that year. “It was a long time to keep that one secret,” says Schaffer.

Then, flash-forward to February 2023, when Schaffer and David were editing the season, and Springsteen in real life ended up postponing three of his shows in one week “due to illness.” Then, in April 2023, Springsteen and wife Patti Scialfa came down with COVID. And in August 2023, the Boss ended up postponing more shows after having “taken ill.” In September, it was then revealed he had been diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease, and he ended up canceling all remaining 2023 dates so he could recover.

Schaffer says when they initially reached out to Springsteen’s manager, they never thought the guest role would materialize. But quickly after the pitch, the Boss said yes; he was a fan of the show. After they wrapped, they sent Springsteen his scenes, because the Curb team was so happy with the final result.

“He loved them, which was great. He was putting a lot of faith in us,” says Schaffer. “He’d seen the show, but a lot of people haven’t worked the way we do, where it’s not all scripted. Lots of things get said. And we kept telling him, ‘We’ll use the best stuff,’ so he could try everything. And he played around. He knew the basic beats, but he was in there adding and slugging around. We showed him the scenes because we were so happy with how they turned out.”

The plot around how Larry likes to have sex ends up circling around when his ex-wife Cheryl ( played by Cheryl Hines ) calls him out for lying to her about why he wanted to have sex on the floor. (“It’s hot, like in the movies,” she says he told her.)

Schaffer still marvels that they got Springsteen to do such a big role and coyly teases that the Boss might make some sort of return in next week’s finale.

“Everyone was so excited that Bruce had that brief cameo in episode two, and Larry and I were sitting there thinking, ‘If you guys only knew that he’s doing all these scenes in show nine.’ We were able to shoot a lot of stuff with Bruce in the one day we had him.”

He adds, “Things come back to haunt Larry every week. His life is a comedy haunted mansion, everything boomerangs.”

Below, with only one episode remaining before Curb signs off for good (maybe, hopefully not), Schaffer takes THR through some more highlights from the penultimate episode in season 12, “Ken/Kendra.”

  • Another tidbit on Springsteen: The Don Henley comparison was written by the Curb writers, but the Boss knew the Eagles frontman would “be cool with it.” Schaffer says, “We wrote that as a rock icon kind of mad lib.”
  • J.B. Smoove’s Leon “didn’t want to get COVID because he didn’t know what it was going to do to his dick,” says Schaffer of the hilarity that ensues when Larry’s housemate desperately tries to avoid getting sick. “We often like to surprise Larry. I didn’t tell him that J.B. was going to come through the house in a gas mask with an arm full of toilet paper,” says Schaffer, revealing that they often try to catch their star and creator off guard to get his most honest reaction. “Larry interacts with the world, and the world’s against him. So I create the world against him, for maximum surprise. His reactions are so good.”
  • A great example of one of those reactions comes in the epic staircase war of words between Larry and his oft-nemesis, Susie Greene (Essman): “That Larry-Susie fight in the stairwell is one for the ages. Them arguing that each other is a virus, capped off by Susie saying, ‘Larry, you cold-hearted, COVID-carrying cocksucker,’ is one of my favorite Larry-Susie arguments of all time.” Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav was actually on set that day of filming. “He got a giant earful of raw Curb ,” says Schaffer, adding that the virus insults were all hurled in one take. But, “You’re seeing on Larry’s side every frame before he laughs. Larry’s reaction to Susie calling him that was taken from a different reaction because he was laughing so hard. Larry is always going to blink first with Susie. Susie screaming at him is his kryptonite.”
  • A restaurant being downgraded from an A to a C rating mid-meal is a plot plucked from real life, when Schaffer, David, former writers Alec Berg and David Mandel, and other Curb writers were out for lunch in Palisades Village when filming season six. “We watched them change the letter right in front of us and no one could believe it. They just changed the letter in front of Larry David and the Curb writers, what do they think is going to happen? Talk about low-hanging, probably unwashed fruit. We always wanted to do it. I know it seems impossible, but it really is true.”
  • The name of the book written by Young Larry director Les McCrabb (played by Matt Berry), “To Hang a Lantern on It,” originates from Schaffer’s pre- Seinfeld job at Witt/Thomas Productions where he worked on “a show starring an unknown comic named Jeff Garlin and then on Herman’s Head .” Schaffer says the show was filled with idioms that end up showing up in the fictional Curb script, like, “America doesn’t want to see that” and “hang a lantern on it.” Really “hacky sitcom stuff,” he says. “We would do that jokingly when writing, and so when we needed a title for this book written by this sort of journeyman director, I was like, it has to be ‘Hang a Lantern on It.’ I wrote a solid two pages and worked out some feelings of what it’s like working out at a schmaltzy place. ( Laughing .) The exact stuff that Seinfeld and Curb is the antidote for.”
  • The fictional “Vonderdonk” cheese from last week’s episode is now actually being sold at The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills (available during store hours). “I’m sure the cheese is excellent, just don’t leave it in your car,” quips Schaffer.
  • In other real-life news, Felicity Huffman booked her first TV gig following her role in the college admissions scandal and after Lori Loughlin parodied herself with a Curb cameo earlier this season. “I can’t imagine that anyone is looking to us for hourlong trends, but I’m very happy that Lori got to be the first to come back triumphantly,” says Schaffer.
  • With one week left before the finale, Schaffer responds to Garlin recently sharing how emotional he got when the executive producer-director called cut on the final scene. “I remember doing a few extra takes to make sure we got it because it was important,” says Schaffer of next week’s ending. “Once we did, we were done. And, who wants it to be done? Then I realized, someone has to say something! So I looked at Larry, because village was right next to the set, and said, ‘Are you good?’ He said ‘Yeah, I’m good.’ So I said, ‘That’s a wrap on the greatest sitcom ever.’ Everyone applauded and hugged. Then I turned around and Jeff was yeah, just sitting quietly off to the side crying. Very sweet.”
  • How will Curb tie it all together in the series finale? “It’s definitely longer than our usual episodes. We have a lot to say,” says Schaffer, always tight-lipped about any spoilers. “I can’t believe that we’ve arrived at this moment. But I think it’s been a really lively season and the finale is a very funny, fitting end to it all.”

Curb Your Enthusiasm  releases its series finale Sunday at 10 p.m. on  HBO  and Max.   Read  THR’ s chats with Schaffer from the season here .

Larry david revives his funniest curb your enthusiasm scene with jerry seinfeld from 15 years ago.

Jerry Seinfeld makes an unexpected return in the Curb Your Enthusiasm finale, and Larry David wastes no time reviving their funniest scene together.

  • Jerry Seinfeld makes a hilarious return in Curb Your Enthusiasm's series finale, saving Larry from prison and reviving old jokes.
  • Larry David's trial brings out a mix of friends and enemies, with Jerry Seinfeld helping him avoid a year in prison.
  • The finale's callback to "respecting wood" is the only reference to Curb's Seinfeld reunion, despite being jam-packed with Seinfeld callbacks.

Jerry Seinfeld makes an unexpected return in Curb Your Enthusiasm ’s series finale, and Larry David wastes no time reviving their funniest scene together from the Seinfeld reunion season. The final episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm – season 12, episode 10, “No Lessons Learned” – sees Larry flying to Atlanta to stand trial for breaking a controversial, recently passed Georgia law that forbids people from giving food or water to voters in line at a polling station. The trial brought many of Larry’s friends (and enemies) out of the woodwork.

While Mocha Joe, Mr. Takahashi, Rachel Heineman, and Tara Michaelson all appear in court to testify against Larry, a small handful of people come out to support him. This group includes series regulars like Leon, Cheryl, Jeff, Susie, Ted Danson, and Richard Lewis. It also includes Larry’s old writing partner, Jerry Seinfeld, who ends up saving Larry from spending a year in prison after spotting a juror breaking sequestration the night before the verdict. This episode revives Larry and Jerry’s funniest scene from a 15-year-old Curb episode.

Curb Your Enthusiasm's Series Ending Explained: How Larry David Wraps It Up After 25 Years & Fixes Seinfeld's Finale

Curb your enthusiasm's finale calls back to larry & jerry's conversation about respecting wood in season 7.

In Curb Your Enthusiasm season 7, episode 10, “Seinfeld,” on the eve of the Seinfeld reunion, Larry attended a party at Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ house and got blamed for a ring stain on her table. Larry claims that he couldn’t have left the stain, because he “ respects wood, ” and he spends the rest of the episode trying to find the culprit. He asks everyone he encounters, “ Do you respect wood? ” When he interrogates Jerry, Jerry hilariously declares him to be “ Larry David, wood detective. ”

In the series finale, when Larry arrives in the courtroom, he’s dismayed to find that there are no coasters for the glasses of water on the table. He says it’s ironic that the courts expect everyone to respect the law when the law doesn’t respect wood. “ Do you respect wood? ” is one of the all-time funniest Curb Your Enthusiasm gags, so it was fun to have that back for a reference in the finale.

Larry's Respecting Wood Reference Is The Finale's Only Callback To Curb's Seinfeld Reunion

Surprisingly, the callback to respecting wood is the Curb Your Enthusiasm finale’s only reference to Curb ’s Seinfeld reunion season. Despite being jam-packed with callbacks to Seinfeld itself and being a stealth remake of the Seinfeld finale , Curb Your Enthusiasm ’s final episode has no other references to its own Seinfeld reunion from season 7. Jerry is the only Seinfeld cast member who appears at Larry’s trial and they never mention the in-universe reunion show, even in passing.

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Curb Your Enthusiasm is a Comedy television show created by Larry David, the same creative mind behind the wildly popular sitcom, Seinfeld. Starring Larry David himself, along with Cheryl Hines, and Jeff Garlin, the show acts as a semi-fictionalized look at Larry's every day life and the people he would come in contact with.

Larry David, Philosopher King

A digital 3D model of a statue of Larry David sitting on a throne.

By Mark Ralkowski

Dr. Ralkowski is a professor of philosophy and honors at the George Washington University.

“Curb Your Enthusiasm,” the HBO comedy series created by and starring Larry David, debuted way back in 1999 and comedy, television and the world have all changed significantly since. Yet somehow “Curb,” which comes to an end tonight after 12 seasons, remains as relevant as ever. How can that be?

I’d propose that one reason is because Larry David stands as an underappreciated philosopher of our everyday lives. He has taught us important truths about both how we live our lives and how we should live our lives. Most important, he’s been our foremost critic of the social rules that govern the way we interact, offering an enticing vision of social freedom that we’d be foolish to ignore.

“Curb” is full of observations about societal strictures that might otherwise go unspoken. Rules such as: You tiptoe at night; you always accept your friend’s invitation to tour her new house; you never steal from roadside memorials or caskets; you don’t go over your caviar allotment at a dinner party; you ask to split the check when you eat out with friends.

Mr. David, in the guise of his semi-fictional alter ego, has introduced us to countless examples of what I like to call the “unknown knowns” — these rules and rituals that we understand and abide by without quite knowing how we learned them. For example, most of us have been victims of what he calls “the chat and cut,” a ploy that some people use to cut in line when they don’t want to wait. But it wasn’t until Mr. David pointed this act out and named it that we thought about it explicitly. Now that it has been named, it’s a lot easier to spot in our own lives.

One simple way of considering the character of Larry is as a vessel of our wish fulfillment. As Cheryl Hines, David’s co-star, has said , “I think we all live vicariously through Larry,” because “if somebody asks you to dinner, you’d like to just say, ‘No, I don’t really like you that much.’ But people don’t in real life, you know? Larry does.” Sigmund Freud argued in his 1905 book “Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious” that laughter gives us a sense of relief because it releases the energy we normally spend on repressing our drives. Freud would say that when Larry acts out on “Curb,” we laugh because Larry lets us indirectly satisfy repressed desires to do the same.

But there’s much more that we can learn and benefit from in Mr. David’s approach to the world. One lesson he teaches us is that we all have a lot of special social knowledge that we’ve never thought about before. In “Being and Time,” the German philosopher Martin Heidegger called this knowledge part of our preconceptual “understanding of Being.” Larry describes it as our “unwritten rules,” such as: Everyone knows that you should never blow your nose in a cloth napkin at a restaurant. As Larry’s frequent collaborator Jerry Seinfeld put it in an episode of “Curb”: “It’s just not done in polite society. It’s not done in impolite society. Even the impolite don’t do it.”

As the contemporary American philosopher John Searle wrote in “Making the Social World,” these “background practices” are crucial to the construction of our social reality. “Our whole mode of sensibility is shaped by forces and influences that are, for the most part, invisible to us — what it is to be male, what it is to be female, what is involved in being a citizen, what is involved in being a professor,” Searle wrote.

This understanding is acquired without thinking and it then determines our thinking. A great example of this is our “knowledge” of the appropriate distance to stand from a conversational partner. That distance varies according to the purpose of the conversation, its context and the identities of the people who are talking. This is not knowledge that we acquire from books or from a teacher in a classroom. We are socialized into it simply by living our lives.

What makes Mr. David’s comedic vision in “Curb” so special is that, in addition to teaching us so many of these unwritten rules, it shows us that we are free to reimagine our ways of living. There is no fundamental necessity to these practices; they are arbitrary and open to revision. In fact, if we look closely at these “unwritten rules,” as the contemporary American philosopher Noël Carroll has argued, what we find is that they don’t have any basis other than our emotional attachments to them. They may feel authoritative. We certainly let them control our behavior. But there is no necessity here, as the character of Larry constantly points out.

The British anthropologist Mary Douglas has called these kinds of jokes — in which communal norms are tested and questioned — “anti-rites,” because they show us the contingency of our social expectations. “A joke is a play upon form,” Ms. Douglas wrote, “that affords an opportunity for realizing that an accepted pattern has no necessity.” The English philosopher Simon Critchley, in the 2002 book “On Humour,” built on Ms. Douglas’s theory by suggesting that jokes do two related things. First, they return us to “the background meanings implicit in a culture.” Second, they “indicate how those practices might be transformed or perfected, how things might be otherwise.”

During the long run of “Curb,” Mr. David has consistently shown us how things might be otherwise. It’s been very funny but also revelatory. He has awakened us to the background practices in our culture, and revealed to us that they have no necessity, which offers us a kind of freedom we may not have recognized.

This is not trivial entertainment. As Friedrich Nietzsche might have said, Mr. David has gone to battle with the “spirit of gravity” in our time; the world of morals, religions and tragedy. In doing so, he has offered up an alternative vision of life, one of lightness and joyful wisdom.

La despedida de Larry David: muchas series han querido ser ésta y sólo han hecho el ridículo

La última temporada es emotiva y, a la vez, apropiadamente autoirónica

  • 1 comentario

Larry David, en la última temporada de 'Larry David'.

  • Such Brave Girls La hermana pequeña de Fleabag y Girls que huye de los topicazos de las series femeninas
  • Mary & George Las amistades peligrosas de Julianne Moore
  • Feud: Capote vs. The Swans Con esta alineación, ¿qué podría salir mal?

En España, Curb your Enthusiasm se titula con el nombre de su protagonista: Larry David . Es un cambio perezoso y que ensucia el curioso título original ("Controla tu entusiasmo"), pero lo cierto es que yo llevo refiriéndome a esta serie como Larry David desde mucho antes de que la retitulasen oficialmente. Y es que Larry, como personaje, lleva existiendo desde hace casi 25 años.

El primer episodio de su serie se emitió en HBO en octubre del 2000. Allí conocimos (o no) al creador de Seinfeld , un cómico con más carrera detrás que delante de las cámaras. Pero con Curb (perdón: con Larry David ) cambiaría todo. Y cómo. El impacto en la televisión de Larry David (la persona, el personaje y la serie) es enorme. Muchas series han querido ser ésta y sólo han hecho el ridículo.

Muchas más la han tenido como referente y eso les ha ayudado a triunfar. Y a ser buenas series. Hoy, que alguien se interprete a sí mismo en versión extrema es muy corriente. En 2000 era, si no una novedad, sí todavía un campo por explorar. En 2024, esta conquista del metahumor y el gag perfecto se da por terminada .

Puede verse en YouTube un making of de la última escena de Larry David . La última en grabarse, no la última en emitirse. Es un guirigay en un avión, un bochorno, larrismo puro. Tras el "corten", actores clásicos de la serie aprovechan para agradecerle a Larry David (la persona) el haber sido parte de Larry David (la serie). Richard Lewis, fallecido el pasado febrero, llama "dios" a Larry. Cheryl Hines, también presente desde el primer episodio, se emociona diciéndole que trabajar con él le cambió la vida. Y cómo.

Hines ha contado en varias ocasiones lo difícil que le resulta a veces explicar que no es la esposa en la vida real de Larry. Tal era su química con él y tal la naturalidad que mostraban en la serie que costaba creer que no fuesen pareja cuando las cámaras no grababan. Lewis y David sí eran amigos en la vida real. Su relación era, dicho por ellos, muy parecida a la que veíamos en la serie. Otras cosas, la mayoría, eran pura ficción. Porque nadie es capaz de meter la pata tanto y tan seguido como el Larry David semificticio . Quién iba a pensar que el Larry real podría darnos doce temporadas de una serie que va sobre un hombre que mete la pata todo el rato.

El problema de los tres cuerpos, la peor serie de la semana: fea, cara y liosa

  • Redacción: ALBERTO REY

Andrew Scott, en Ripley.

Ripley, la mejor serie de la semana: placer lento para gente que pasa de TikTok

A lo largo de su larguísimo recorrido, este clásico vivo de HBO ha tenido altibajos. Temporadas mejores y temporadas peores. La penúltima fue, de alguna manera, un autohomenaje que se fue un poco de madre: exagerar lo ya exagerado es la pura definición de paroxismo y el paroxismo es el peor enemigo de la buena comedia. En su temporada de 2024, la duodécima y última, Larry David baja un poquito el tono. Es una decisión inteligente: a estas alturas la serie no tiene que demostrar nada y puede permitirse gustarse mucho, pero su creador siempre ha sabido que una comedia de episodios cortos se la juega en cada uno de ellos. Su rival a batir era él mismo.

Larry David es muy consciente de que unos cuantos episodios de su serie son considerados unánimemente cumbres de la comedia televisiva. A su manera, el making of de su última escena también lo es: mientras el equipo quiere mantener la emoción de la despedida, un Larry visiblemente avergonzado intenta salir del set.

Pero Larry sabe que las cámaras siguen grabando. Y sabe que quienes veamos ese vídeo disfrutaremos de verlo jugando, una última vez, a difuminar los límites entre persona y personaje. Que, tras un final definitivo anunciado como tal, Larry David volviese sería muy... Larry David. Cuando tu nombre se convierte en un adjetivo es que eres alguien importantísimo . Controlemos nuestro duelo.
