Larry David on Showing Up at Jimmy Kimmel’s House on the Wrong Day, His Best Friend & Return of Curb

[@llt3854]

There was literally an episode of Curb where Larry shows up to a dinner party on the wrong night on purpose to get out of going. And he did it to Jimmy in real life.

[@SANTANAMNSTR]

I was thinking the same thing, intentional

[@JoshuaStDenis]

Came here to say Jimmy got played! You can tell he doesn't watch Curb and Larry was waiting for him to pick up on it.

[@vmaster9601]

Yep, but it only works if you turn up on a day after the invitation date, not before. Larry should have curbed his enthusiasm!

[@Axolotl_Mischief]

Exactly what every Curb fan thought 😂

He knows it can backfire if he shows up after the party, so he showed up before it. Genius
