Larry David rare interview 2011

[@debjitmagic1]

It's like watching a scene from Curb

[@oh_heeeyyy]

Whenever anyone mentions the term "comedy genius", I always immediately think of Larry David.

[@societyofsin]

+specialdefect Be concise. It's "Comedic Genius"

[@Jalex_Owns]

What's great in this is that Larry comes off as even more brilliant than usual due to the contrast of sitting next to Jay. I love all of the subtle jabs at Leno, too. Can't get enough.

[@bwc3821]

"You're always wearing denim." YES! Finally someone points it out.

[@crzzymnn911]

Yes but WHYYYY! I NEED TO KNOW WHY!

[@patrickcrawford6392]

Larry hasn't aged a minute since 1990

[@jeffl5471]

you never age if you look like you are 65 years old for 30 straight years

[@mixer14316]

Larry David is brilliant. Simply put, he's brilliant.

[@Designandrew]

He is so George the way he talks about how Bowles is such a great word.. like Geroge with Manure. "You got the Ma, which is good, and then the newer"

[@MovieHound17]

Designandrew everytime I watch seinfeld now And when george says something hilarious or just his mannerisms...I always think of larry....Jason alexander did an amazing job.

[@QCrafty]

You mean George is so Larry.

[@nickrigdon8883]

Or Kenny with "puke" haha.

[@paddymeboy777]

Americans!....bowels!.....

[@badreddineramdani8214]

"Doing those things , and then you are supposed to talk to them " just genius from larry

[@orelhai]

Gotta love LD the most authentic man in showbiz who became successful

[@lobelia2]

larry david's the most awesome comic on earth. that going back to work after quitting is gold. gold, jerry, gold!

[@intersanctum]

Larry is too smart for Jay.

[@film_magician]

Larry's dog is too smart for Jay

[@milesfinnch7348]

These two comics are at opposite ends of the spectrum and it's not just Larry's funny and Jay's usually not. The dialogue at about 8:00 is the perfect example. Jay pushed his way onto the tonight show basically twice, is an insecure people pleaser, will say yes to basically anything, and comes across as unauthentic. Larry on the other hand isn't afraid to say no (It took 20 years to get Larry to say yes to the tonight show) and threatened to quit Seinfeld multiple times because they wanted to change his script, hates being in the spotlight, could care less what others think of him, and never sold out.

[@thetruth418]

+Miles Finnch Larry didn't "threaten" to quit multiple times he DID QUIT multiple times. Larry literally quit Seinfeld over 10 times. He also would walk off in the middle of his stand up routines, as mentioned in this clip, and he also quit the Broadway play he was doing IN THE MIDDLE of it. Larry gives absolutely no fucks about anything.

[@Robb3348]

+Miles Finnch You're a perceptive dude. You should write for a living IMHO

[@hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh6898]

Jay can't keep up with LD's wit.

[@thedude4795]

jay deserves a break. larry's a beast.. the synergy was great!!

[@smoothcriminal28]

Jay can't keep up with anybody.

[@RandomPerson-xn3el]

I don't think they are supposed to be competing. As a host of a talk show you let the guests talk. You're also forgetting that 80% of what guests say on these shows is rehearsed.

[@sisbrawny]

I just thought about a scene in Curb when a man went to talk to a lawyer about changing his will. The lawyer was dressed in an all denim outfit because it was _casual Friday_. The man got angry at the lawyer and stormed out saying he wasn't going to do business with him because he didn't feel he was dressed professionally. I wonder if that was a stab at Jay and denim clothes.

[@shahn78]

Ummm no.

[@simonromlie9009]

This was an amazing interview, its not often that the guests feels comfortable to enough to actually turn it around and swing at Jay.

[@Jaystew17]

Larry David is almost perfect. I love his honesty.

[@shivzzi]

I think Craig Ferguson is the only talk show host who was able to keep up with this man

[@killatedddybear]

Larry David should host his own show

[@juancpgo]

I think he'd hate that idea haha

[@killatedddybear]

Yeah but he would be awesome at it

[@juancpgo]

Isaac Plascencia When the guest would be entering the stage he'd say: “mmmm I don't think so” ahahaha

[@cedricalanknight]

Isaac Plascencia he would argue with everybody

[@skibbz0r]

lmfao. makes me wish LD had his own talk show. would be hysterical.

[@ProducShuns]

Y'know what blows my mind. These two came up together. Started out together. Doing the same shitty comedy clubs. Then one of them went on to host the tonight show and the other made one of the biggest TV shows ever. Crazy. Absolutely crazy.

[@andrewroberts8139]

+ProducShuns Wouldn't you like to go back in time and watch the two of them, especially Larry, doing stand-up?

[@ryneeivanov1656]

I don't know, I found it on the front page of youtube, how rare can it be?

[@girlvegan1]

I love Larry

[@stza16]

As much as I hate Jay, at least he is not as bad as Jimmy Fallon.

[@stza16]

Pretty Pretty Pretty Good lol

[@gizmoriderfulye8007]

Jimmy Fallon is god compared to Jimmy Kimmel

[@sealteamryx6758]

i like colbert but he n meyers just whine about trump for half the show n its gotten really boring

[@suzannegoode1557]

Jay Leno still hits it out of the park. Taste is personal. Lotsa Leno fans

[@jameebacinski8602]

Don’t blame Conan😂

[@FakinPoserz]

u know what im doin right here, why do i have to say hello hahah so true everything larry says is gold, its gold larry

[@moester75]

Lawrence Gene David, you're the funniest American in my strong opinion man. You have consistently made me laugh my ass off from "Seinfeld", "Curb", and "Clear History". Every episode of "Curb" made me laugh my ass off. Thank you Lawrence Gene David with all my unstable heart buddy!................. Long Live Larry David! .

[@Erilis000]

It was very nice of Larry to go on his show. Very sweet. :)

[@con95man]

i love this guy.... every one looking back over larry david interviews after jimmy kimmel

[@MrUltracoin]

this is a rare interview from the rare tv show with jay leno

[@markh.9822]

And it's on youtube so it must be a pretty rare video

[@MrUltracoin]

Mark H. We are part of the select few of 206,989 to have witnessed such covert footage

[@Meposism]

Rare in the sense that it is rare too see Larry David give a candid live interview

[@ironopolis64]

What a legend Larry is

[@Laurian21]

this is why seinfeld was funny cause some stories on the show actually happened to larry in real life. many funny things can happen to an average joe

[@MrAitraining]

1:35 lol "Now that I'm here...ehhh" This would have been a much more hysterical interview if Larry just talked to himself. Jay is such a wierd DB

[@sports5553333]

one of the best jay-Leno shows of all time.. larry's enthusiasm was amazing in this one

[@Whatt787]

one of the funniest things I've ever seen on youtube--Larry David the best

[@Reggie1408]

I love how Leno tries to shut him up at the end when Larry is about to explain the absurdity of "The Bachalorette"

[@hyena1972]

The interview questions were a little strange: "Whose fault was your divorce?" "How do you meet girls?" But Larry David's answers were funny. He's right about "the bachelorette" shows.

[@CalvinG973]

He was trying to elevate “small talk” to “medium talk”…

[@joshuakaplan5941]

Larry David should write an autobiography. It'd be the best book ever written.

[@lolizorz]

I fucking love this guy!

[@mischa0719]

I need him in my life lol 😂😂😂

[@Duartisimo1979]

i love this guy

[@SurvivorAndBatman]

Larry David legendary ball buster

[@rengocanut]

Larry correcting Jay is priceless!!

[@thedude4795]

historical tv moment.

[@depmodealex]

Larry David is hilarious

[@Smokie1960]

This guy was who George Costanza was modeled after. Alexander said his job was to do the most over the top Larry David imitation the world has ever seen.

[@RageMageD]

The premise of uploading a video to youtube and naming it rare.....

[@brianbuccellato1532]

oh man I love L.D.!

[@mikecantreed]

"Yea but he HAS to fall in love with her." Ruined the Bachelor in 10 words. So good.

[@gcampa]

mikecantreed hahaha, he's a genious... that line and "she looks like a person I could never wanna get to know" are the best

[@BroiledBoy]

thanks man. do you also go around and tell people that the sky is blue and the grass is green?

[@SomnioBorealis]

Larry is awesome!!!

[@leirgauk]

Great dynamic.

[@723music]

How far in the archives did you have to dig to find this unbelievable rare footage? Your DVR history?

[@preparetomeetsatan]

People still own DVRs?

[@Howie_Dowitt]

Larry "fucKing" David, ladies and gentlemen. One of a kind. He's funny even when he's not trying to be. My favorite comedian of all time. Curb Your Enthusiasm, Please come back!

[@shamuswinston]

"You know what I'm doin' up here...why do I have to say hello?: Lol!!

[@themasterexploder]

wow very #rare video, thank you based larry omg

[@locovel10]

Leno ~ "Do you resent your own success?" David ~ repeats question while laughing Questions like that might explain why Larry rarely goes onto these talk shows I think a lot of us resent that Leno and Letterman stayed FAR past their welcome

[@traypaul4584]

Larry is awesome

[@anonymous-anonymous-anonymous]

Jay actually did say "a job writing for...". Larry just didn't hear it. 7:15

[@martyn580]

omg, Larry david actually acts the same way he does on curb your enthusiasm

[@MyName83www]

LOVE Him!

[@skykingusa]

Larry is one of the funniest people of this time, and at the same time, one of the most annoying. I wish I were more like him.

[@the_mentaculus]

I love how condescending Larry was to Jay

[@JinRock10]

Larry is the man!

[@LikeLewis]

Larry for President

[@RYN988]

I had to think about it!

[@horbergus]

Brilliant observation

[@cubsbearsandbulls]

the new york season was so, so good

[@jakashh]

Lmao Jay got pissed at Larry and started asking personal questions to make Larry feel shitty.

[@HeartbreakShuffle]

great!

[@OmikronGT]

What does the host say at the start? I can't work it out...

[@hanspeper858]

How can this be 2011 when it saying Curb your enthusiasm is about to premiere. When it started in 2000. Or was it a premiere of a new season..

[@ShieldsJustice]

Hans Peper It’s gunna be 2020 and Season 10 will be here!

[@shugaroony]

Lol what a guy - he's absolutely hilarious :D

[@carlbamburg7439]

Rare interview... yeah, it was SO rare that it was seen around the world on American network television.. Tell me, how did you ever locate this little nugget of obscurity?...

[@BlaccEagle]

Aren't all interviews "rare" technically?

[@michaelpeternorman]

Not really. Every interview may be unique in the sense that they are all different but that isn't the same as rare.

[@OmikronGT]

Blade Blunter I think he's right. "Rare" means it doesn't happen very often, and people aren't interviewed all the time otherwise it would get boring.

[@ZackKolin]

OmikronGT But it's rare in terms of interviews. Like, Jennifer Lawrence for example probably goes on, let's say, an interview a month, or maybe one every 2 months. So she had 6-8 a year. Every year. But Larry David has barely gone on any interviews, despite being a major figure in the entertainment industry since the 80s when he was on SNL. So, compared to other celebrities, yes, this would count as 'rare'.

[@MrSpookyLover]

I am so glad that US network tv continue to embrace Curb Your Enthusiasm for exactly what it is, the best damned sitcom of all time since Seinfeld itself.

[@waitingforacentury]

The man is a character of himself. I could never talk to him with confidence. I'dd be thinking to much about if I'm saying the right thing or not.

[@WilmanArambillete]

It rocks! Btw the episode

[@ezio1920]

he is a legend

[@WilmanArambillete]

The episode Larry refers to is called "the revenge". ;)

[@moviefannnnnn]

i wish we all only had problems like him like what to order in a restaruant and how much to tip the waiter lol. love curb your enthusiasm best show ever. come on season 9!!

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

wow watched Letterman and now the Leno one and both just can't keep up with him

[@MrPernell27]

Yea, it's like when he talks about the word bowels. He and Jerry Seinfeld could have gone on for another 10 minutes, but Leno couldn't keep up.

[@jameskennedy552]

+MrPernell27 Ya but just because you can go on about something doesn't mean you always should

[@MrPernell27]

+James Kennedy yea and just because you can make a pointless comment, doesn't mean you always should.

[@jameskennedy552]

ok cool story bro

[@GeorgeUK84]

It's not called being "a comic". It's called being a comedian.

[@liln4444]

GeorgeUK84 Comic noun noun: comic; plural noun: comics 1. a comedian, especially a professional one. "a stand-up comic"synonyms:comedian, comedienne, funny man/woman, humorist, wit

[@schmidtzcargolbull]

just so funnny

[@thetruth418]

"You think you look hip" BWAHAHAHAHAHA holy shit that was funny.

[@Splagl]

He topsy turvied that shit.

[@dawson8364]

Larry was very decisive about not being decisive.

[@DrRocketLauncher]

"I'm the opposite of you" - that's right Jay, Larry's funny.

[@alyqat4]

perfect ✌🏼🤣

[@victoriaaaa]

im imagining larry as my uncle or grandpa or something... he'd be that crazy old dude that only i liked

[@dirkfan12]

good stuff, very true,love the way Larry can ask anybody, anything. on a side note, jay is like that Crazy dictator of Norht Korea, anytime you see him in pictures,its always the same outfit

[@juicyjuice743]

Description: This is pretty, pretty...pretty self explanatory.

[@Fasil777]

" u know what im doing up here, Why do I have to say hello ? " hahaha

[@funkymonkey299]

how is this a "rare interview"

[@NxDoyle]

You notice the rare in the description is also in quotes?

[@BlaccEagle]

Too true

[@slye1991]

This is the hardest I've seen Jay laugh in a long time.

[@Vinstinctify1]

larry david is king!

[@Blahsheep]

What happened to Curb your Enthusiasm? It just randomly stopped.

[@milesfinnch7348]

+Blahsheep Larry got so much backlash for the Seinfeld finale he won't do a finale and I don't blame him. He hasn't ruled out a 9th season though.

[@Blahsheep]

Miles Finnch I don't know how they could have finished Seinfeld any differently.

[@milesfinnch7348]

Blahsheep I thought it was perfect and fit in with the tone of the show. No emotional stuff whatsoever. People had a problem with that.

[@lecousinmachin]

Of course it's rare, it's the only one ever for LD on the Tonight Show!

[@ContentWithJeremiah]

You realize that these shows always, always, always, always have a pre-interview, and Larry's doing a bit by acting offended.

[@lynagy20]

Is this Leon?

[@kevinjosephkauffman]

Sterling observation Chum.

[@adamblaremusic]

3:17 Uncle Leo?
