I love that George quitting then just going back in on Monday as if nothing happened was based on a true story!

[@nomibe2911]

I actually seen this happen at a call center.

[@reportcred]

😂😂😂

[@alexpins23]

Well turns out the character of George is actually based on Larry!

[@MichaelKolesarKoleslaw]

Jason Alexander has a story I think also on the Stern show where playing George didn't "click" until he had a realization that "Oh, George is just Larry David!"

[@dazed1nyc]

Not only that, but Larry David's real neighbor at the time was named Kenny Kramer, and it was his idea to go back and pretend it didn't happen.

[@Cosmogirl014]

Simply the BEST ... forever Larry David comedy. Ty Larry for all you've done/and still do.

[@kerpal321]

larry david is so inspiring, knowing that its possible to still have fun and enjoy life even at a much older age is great to see, for larry things just keep getting better

[@Nathan-gd7xq]

Larry David would be my number one ultimate dinner party guest.

[@GlennErikMathisen]

careful what you wish for.

[@MahkyVmedia1]

He'd definitely be in the middle

[@bernardwalker1874]

He would only attend if it's at a restaurant. Saw an interview with Ted Danson and he talked about how Larry won't go to people's homes for dinners because social norms dictate he'd have to stay the whole time. At a restaurant, he can end it when he's ready.

[@OkieAllDay]

I REALLY wish Howard would let his guests tell their own stories

[@joeb588]

Ah he’s told this story a million times, it was kind of fun to see Larry react to someone else telling it

[@jonathanlevin8985]

@@joeb588 Um, but that is not an interview then. And Howard prides himself on being the great interviewer.

[@DippyHippie]

Larry brings me happiness!

[@jojopuppyfish]

The 1984 Season of SNL is my favorite season. I was a little young for the original cast, but I loved Eddie Murphy. The season with Crystal, Short and Guest was terrific.

[@aboutface7961]

Thats one of those pivotal moments. Had he not gone back, life would be probably much different.

[@user-du4cx6ij7x]

Larry is everywhere!!!

[@dopy8418]

It’s called marketing. Last season of curb is starting.

[@psychotronic_x]

Except Stern which is why we get a clip from almost 10 years ago. 😆

Larry is my hero!

Larry David is a folk hero for the inadequate male. Pure genius.

Thats a hilarious SNL story

[@donmacquarrie9161]

thanks for all the great laughs!

[@americanpancakelive]

Hysterical - I don't have Sirius but would love to see the entire episode.

[@ShortFuseFighting]

its available on piratebay

[@blackcat4859]

Why does Howard always say what the guest is thinking? Just ask a question and let them tell the story.

[@cwalter5]

To push them into that answer.

[@jasonmiller5586]

He’s one of the best interviewers, ever. I trust his techniques, based on results.

[@blackcat4859]

@@jasonmiller5586 To each their own, it irritates me but I'm clearly in the minority.

[@ethancunningham8939]

@jasonmiller5586 This seems to just be a thing people say with no real reasoning. If you watch most of his interviews he just regurgitates stories that he’s read about the guest while they nod along. Barely counts as an ‘interview’.

[@mr.doctorcaptain1124]

@@jasonmiller5586 Hard disagree. He’s gotten by on his willingness to be crude during a time when that was on the rise, but corporations were still pushing against it.

LARRY IS LEGEND!

such a Kramer scene too 😄

Benjy's laugh always gets me.

@@kikieaddy2576@3:59 Benjy’s laugh always breaks the fourth wall.

[@jackolantern22]

Howard should really let his guests tell their own stories.

[@integral]

Damn, what a resume: SNL, Seinfeld, Curb. Have to wonder what else he's done that launched him into SNL.

[@TheTribalHeels]

A show with Michael Richards called "Friday's."

[@JoshPhoenix11]

I don't know when exactly it was but he did do a feature film pretty early on called 'Sour Grapes'. Edit: It was later than I thought 1998

[@percyveer2355]

dont include snl, he did nothing there.

[@victorc8804]

Larry David is worth $950 M's in 2024 almost a COOL SMOOTH $B

[@georgepagotelis]

"investments" he'd be > 2 BILLION "easily" - it's where he invests Do this. Put in 1,000,000 at 5% for just 5 YEARS You get 1,276,282 He's made 276,282 thousand (now replace that with MILLION) So he's easily worth after 20 years since Seinfeld over 2B. You're welcome .

[@kikieaddy2576]

Damnnnnnn gooo LD.

[@P8860]

It's crazy that SNL did the same thing to J.B Smoove and cut out all of his scripts when he was a writer on the show.

[@user-lb7ef2qi9m]

Where can I get this full interview

[@pedrojunior83]

Larry said he couldn't get a cab to get home, he had to walk. But he lived in the Manhattan Plaza (subsidized residential complex) at 9th Avenue with 43rd Street, that's only a 15 min walk from SNL Studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

[@DDavEE]

Comedian’s exaggerate stories to make them funnier.

[@bsota8513]

That's far if it's freezing cold.

[@pedrojunior83]

@@bsota8513 was he naked?

The person running there youtube is a genus. Putting up a Larry david cause he is in the news fir beating up elmo

It had to be done!

[@odedfried-gaon2880]

Funny!

[@marcinna8553]

That's a great story.

[@GDuncan8002]

It worked because most comedy writers are crazy and this behavior wasn't far from the norm.

[@christianfinkbeiner684]

Stern should just interview himself.

[@user-du4cx6ij7x]

Larry David out of control 😂

[@JClaus1221]

Larry's biggest problem on SNL at the time he was there, so much of the talent wrote skits themselves. No way you are getting your stuff on over the talent actually performing it if they have something equally or even close to the same level of funny. It all worked out of him in the long run.

[@bobmerc3312]

HOW ABOUT SOME CURRENT STUFF!!!

[@WillLocatelli]

am I insane or did he just tell the story of him not actually quitting SNL

[@robertyerry8118]

LMFAO

[@davevrox3023]

😂 !!!

[@xxxxx409]

maybe change the title so the quotes are around "Quitting" not "SNL" lol?

[@lordhoho1]

He couldn't do more seinfeld but then did 12 seasons of curb

hoard taking none stop lary said 2 words

[@fkafigs]

Um. Can Howard let Larry tell the story...?

[@SRSOSChannel2]

Norm MacDonald's mistake was that he should have used the platform he had to also publicly attack Ebersol and not just Dick's pal OJ.

[@ImmaWright]

If only Stern had STFU and let him tell the story

[@randomcheese1719]

I dont believe Howard has a single friend 🤣

[@user-du4cx6ij7x]

Larry seems to have regrets. He's intrigued and on the fence.

[@paulgonzales2601]

Howard isn’t close to Larry in talent !!

[@challism]

Larry is funny. Howard is not.

[@JohnnyPerth]

Howard is the interviewer, Larry is a comedian. Duh

[@TheChris403]

Larry is 10,000 times funnier than Howard. Howard does good interviews, but he hasn't been funny since the 90s.

[@shugarbage]

That’s probably because one of them is a comedian and one of them is an interviewer

[@muffinman4353]

David's a punk....

[@FlyingMonkeys69]

SNL hasn’t been funny in 15+ years so it’s no wonder Larry David walked out after telling them the truth about that show. SNL just isn’t funny

[@PierceTravels]

Isn't professional wrestling worked?

[@BlondeHairBrahmin-Skin]

Larry will do anything for a little publicity. Do you think the Elmo stuff wasn't planned? Dudes CRAVES attention

[@ShortFuseFighting]

sarcasm?

I'd say he knows the Elmo actors for sure The whole thing was hilarious lol
