KPCS: Larry David

Join Kevin as he sits down with television legend, Larry David (Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm) as they chat about creating two of the most memorable sitcoms. Learn of Larry's disdain for the phrase "happy new year," how he warned Woody Allen that he is going to be a horrible leading man, and how one can quit their job on Friday to return on Monday like it never happened.

[@AGENT_ORANGE_MK]

A version of Larry lives rent free in my heart.

[@faye-love]

dont we all✨

[@jjjuhg]

6 years ago. We want Larry to be like this even in his 90's . WE WANT 20 seasons of CURB.

[@PJonston]

You jinxed it

[@tteros5998]

why did you have to say that outloud for christ's sake

[@s0itg0es]

thanks a lot

[@NexusOfTheUniverse]

This guy pretty much killed Richard Lewis. Thanks, buddy.

[@kowalski5599]

KPCS was ahead of its time

[@chris9chris99]

I know im 10 years too late, but god dammit if these are not the most challenging and revealing questions Larry ever faced, All we need is a psychatrist couch and we are good. He got to know more about himself in these 2h more than ever. Happy to finally catch up with this upload.

[@Funkybassplayer]

For every one who is interested. The Bronx was named after Jonas Bronck ( c. 1600-1643), a European settler whose precise origins are disputed. Documents indicate he was a Swedish-born immigrant from Komstad, Norra Ljunga parish in Småland, Sweden, who arrived in New Netherland during the spring of 1639.

[@elrey6650]

Larrys laugh is the best thing ever😂❤❤

[@jodie6925]

Great job here, KP. These are some of the questions I would ask Larry. Subscribed.

[@Davon85J]

Larry David is probably the best person in the entire world. He never ceases to make me laugh uncontrollably whether it be in his shows or interviews. I need a new Curb season in my life

[@grytlappar]

+Davon85J - He's definitely a truly fantastic guest at any talk show or interview! And yet he's totally neurotic about it when he has one of these things coming up ("It ruins the entire month for me.")

[@ApolloVIIIYouAreGoForTLI]

well its coming!!!

[@xtc___3027]

Sean T not soon enough though. Been waiting anxiously it hurts😥

[@sammullett17]

Davon85J Yeah and me 😂

[@jkjerome1]

prepare to be happy then!

[@cflores1889]

Larry actually enunciates every 'ha' when he laughs.

[@WalterLiddy]

It's the sort of thing that you can't un-notice.

[@aaronfitzsimons]

Probably the best interview I've seen with Larry David. Very insightful and hilarious. Great work, guys.

[@marcschipperheyn4526]

This is one of my favorite interviews ever

[@networx7991]

Larry David is the veritable definition of GENIUS.

[@Donsdoom]

Wow two brilliant people talking for 1 1/2 hours, worth watching several times.

[@dbrown2264]

Kevin Pollak is a great interviewer. Very skilled at segues and subtly drawing out conversation. Great work.

[@richardfederico1672]

I can't believe Larry is 70! I thought he was just an out of shape man in his upper 50's, but he is amazing for 70! And kevin, great Woody Allen impression! Loved this interview!

[@richardfederico1672]

Yeah, your right, that did sound a little back-handed on my part. I guess what I meant was I was surprised he was 70 since I just assumed he was approx Jerry Seinfeld's age. Always thought Jerry looked younger than Larry and now realized there was a reason for that. Yes, Larry is in great shape, physically, mentally, and comically! Thanks for the Gentle reminder Evan.

[@TUMNIAISETU]

He is 67.

[@trevorlambert4226]

66 at the time of this interview, assuming it was recorded shortly before upload

[@rickrennyoneill]

He's 70 now, he was 67 when you made the comment!

[@tjtampa214]

Awesome show. So glad Larry gives KP the compliments and vice versa,the admiration.

[@igano111]

By far the best Larry David interview. He asked him original, interesting questions and not the usual crap like "is Curb's Larry the real Larry?". Kudos to Kevin Pollak.

[@kenwickcook8413]

At the 35 minute mark Larry says what I had been thinking all along... for no particular reason other than a jonesing for Larry, I have been on an LD interview kick and I just want to say how refreshing it was to hear something different in the interview. So far in the first half hour 95% of the discussion was completely unheard of from any other interview. Kudos and thanks to Kevin P. You've earned a new viewer. By far the best LDavid interview on the Interwebs. Now if you'll excuse me so I can go back to this fantastic Q&A cuz I can't wait to hear what new things I have in store for one of my favorite showbiz icons

[@blairmettam7642]

Kenwick Cook The Larry David Meets Ricky Gervais interview is pretty, pretty, pretty good...

[@kenwickcook8413]

Blair Mettam yes. Caught that too. This is still the best interview w LD I've found

[@Picklesnot-co3k]

10 years ago and I haven't read all the comments, but doesn't Larry look the same? He never ages! Trick is to stop aging when you're YOUNG! LD, of course, waited a little too long. 💃

[@LAgirlfarm]

I love Larry David and this was a great interview. He and all those he attracts to him - everyone involved with Seinfeld and Curb - have made my life better with lots of laughter. Also...Larry never seems to age. What's his secret?

[@fredrickmiller6534]

He's looked 70 for 30 years..

[@dougthemoleman]

Craig Ferguson - best televised talk show. Kevin Pollak - best and only actual talk show. Where the guests actually have a talk with the hosts. I am so glad this thing exists and so thrilled it's not on TV.

[@baxill23]

Howard Stern

[@dougthemoleman]

Brad Young I like this better. Plus it's longer.

[@baxill23]

+mackeymkay I agree, this was probably the best interview I've seen with LD. Just saying Howard Stern is another one who actually has interesting conversations with guests and gets them to really open up.

[@warmleatherette]

+mackeymkay Craig Ferguson is just one grown man with an accent acting all cutesy to charm Americans. He wasn't prepared in his LD interview, and had to go all gooey and cute again to get by, and it showed.

[@arttrombley7385]

+mackeymkay Kevin is a great host. I remember another one from yesteryear and that was Tom Snyder, He too asked good questions and actually listened to the answer. On the other hand the worst host ever is Bill Oreilly.

[@lancewallnau2039]

🎉man, that was an hour and 36 min long and I couldn’t stop listening. Learned more about Larry than I heard from any other interview.

[@investigate3_11]

Larry is such a great laugher. Very hearty and full. He doesn't hold back.

[@icemaglite]

A bit like Herman Munster

[@NexusOfTheUniverse]

​@@icemaglitelol true,

[@martinroberts4733]

One of the best LD interviews ever. Thank you.

[@troyevitt2437]

I'm just a Protestant white guy from the South, but there's a vibe about Jewish/NYC humor that really strikes me as being the heart of all American stand-up. I guess it goes back to Vaudville and the early days of radio. Then 3 Stooges through Mel Brooks' and Woody Alens' heydays. I mean, you have the Irish/Catholic influence of Carlin, too, as well as the whole "When Stand-Up Stood Out" crew out of Boston, also Irish/Catholic, but you really appreciate what being sort of the underdogs in the past fostered in both stand-up comedy and Marvel and DC Comics. What gives? And look how a pre-Internet movie like "Mr.Saturday Night" gave rise to a common catchphrase on FaceBook and KZbin...."You see what I did there?"/"I see what you did there".

[@yuckyool]

Humor is humor. Eddie Murphy, Jackie Gleason and Larry the Cable Guy are all funny too.

[@devonseamoor]

@@yuckyool Well, to me, there's something about the Jewish humor, the laugh with a tear in hiding underneath, the Weltschmerz sort of vibe, that is definitely something..... different, compared to all other forms of humor.

[@SRSOS2]

Miss you doing these, Kevin. You were great at it!

[@YerpDerp17]

I will always feel lucky that I grew up in my formative years with Conan and Larry David. Timeless legends. I also feel compelled to add that I have probably seen every interview/podcast with Larry David and this is the one I have watched more than once. It truly is the best interview I have seen Larry do, and that's saying a lot. And its not an outlier, I find most of the interviews you have done are the best of whatever person is on that episode.

[@sejrec56]

Kevin loved your interview w one of the funniest comedians Larry David , great job, but I'm watching g in 2024 on KZbin

[@TheCinematicPackrat1]

This is hands down one of the funniest and most enjoyable episodes of this show that I've seen. Never have seen tons of Larry David as himself. Never knew he would make me laugh so much. Fantastically hilarious.

[@Vazmusic]

Great interview!!!

[@alislefthand]

I love Kevin he is such a great listener which is necessary for conducting great interviews

[@ddeashley]

This. shit. is/was. GREAT! You've done what every Seinfeld/Curb fan has wanted to do/see since forever! I wish he would have just given us a solid NO on whether Curb was ever coming back, but I guess I'll take the 4 year hiatus as clue, enough. This just popped up and it the greatest interview I've seen, just about ever. I feel bad for ol girl who didn't have a question ready, i know she'll "cry in the car". Ol FRIDAY movie quote. Good shit, man!

[@cciastko]

How did i KNOW larry david would interupt the introduction? im thinking no WAY he's actually sitting there quietly through this. he WILL speak up. i cracked up when he did!

I loved this. I've heard Larry tell some of these stories a couple of times before, but I never get tired of them. He's funny because he's so sincere.

[@clairemacharkin5633]

Plus, he doesn't tell the stories repetitiously. The telling is different each time, in my experience of seeing him in interviews. He's extremely clever. Yes, he is very sincere and thoughtful.

[@Johnnyrocks34]

Wow! I’m just finding out this exists! 9 yrs ago! Wow

[@ClutchEastwood]

Kevin... you are absolutely one of the best interviewers I've ever watched. Glad I found this! Thanks!

There was a farm in the northern Bronx called Bronks Farm. People in Manhattan used to say things like, " I'm heading up to the Bronks". Which became Bronx, which became The Bronx.

It's "The Bronx" with a definite article because the land was settled by the Bronck family, so people visiting there said to be going to "the Broncks", so Larry David is correct in saying "it was a Dutch thing".
