Larry David, the television producer and former standup, engaged in a special discussion ahead of the series finale of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” at a Manhattan event hosted by Tribeca Festival. The Brooklyn native was asked about the predominantly Jewish comedy set in affluent Westside communities of Los Angeles. When questioned about feeling more Jewish in New York, David humorously remarked that he was already at the maximum level but did feel comfortable in the city.
David shared insights on social etiquette, suggesting it's appropriate to leave a dinner party shortly after dessert and bid farewell to the host within 12 to 15 seconds. During the audience Q&A session, a fan sought spoilers for the final episode of “Curb,” to which David playfully declined, emphasizing he wouldn't discuss the finale.
The “Seinfeld” co-creator expressed his straightforward approach to creating the HBO series, stating he focuses solely on writing funny shows without overanalyzing them. When presented with a theory comparing his character in Woody Allen’s “Whatever Works” to his “Curb” persona, David admitted he didn't comprehend the comparison, emphasizing his lack of intellectualism and self-identifying as a Brooklynite.
Joined by his costars Susie Essman and Tracey Ullman, Ullman revealed David had tasked her with portraying “the worst person in Los Angeles,” a challenge given the abundance of candidates for such a role in the city. The event marked the launch of Tribeca’s new membership program.
The final episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” will be available for streaming on Max later in the evening, concluding the beloved series.
