Celebrate the return of Curb Your Enthusiasm with a special preview episode screening from Season 10, followed by a conversation with comedy legend Larry David, who stars as himself in this unsparing but tongue-in-cheek depiction of his life.
New season, same Larry. Because some things never change—nor should they.
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, lovable 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 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. David’s tenth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm will air in January, 2020, but what he’s most excited about is his new role of national spokesman for Omaha Steaks. He’s also pursuing his real estate license and can be contacted through the Inland Empire branch of Century 21.
