Larry David Joins the Late Night Writing Staff

[@scratched_record]

I love how Seth is doing his damnedest to play angry and frustrated, yet can't help but have the biggest smile on his face because he's doing a sketch with Larry David.

[@kenneld]

hes not smiling because he can't keep a straight face. it's part of the performance.

[@DecipherBorn]

I hate the introducing in a circle thing too.

[@bothellkenmore]

I totally agree with Larry on this. I hate going around the room introducing ourselves. I never remember most people's names anyway, and then I feel bad for having to ask someone their name when I inevitably forget.

[@jamesm.3967]

It’s a very American piece of silliness. 😮

[@brianj4090]

it's one of the best skits I've ever seen. Seth plays off Larry really well and Larry was on point.

Seth Meyers is doing a great Jerry Seinfeld impression here, and Larry David is doing exactly what he always does

[@pantonfire]

Jerry Sethfield is the thing.

Do you mean Sethfeld? And is this really you commenting? Wouldn't have pegged you for a Seinfeldian.

[@fjhaydn6047]

Seth's suppressed anger was on point.

[@colincampbell3199]

Great skit. I love Myers reaction to everything. Mix of trying to humor David, and being welcoming, but getting increasingly annoyed. Everyone was having a lot of fun with the writing.

[@fjhaydn6047]

This sketch was sooooooooo FUNNY! Didn't want it to end. Seth is a great actor too; didn't overplay his character. The realness was key

[@HeatleyBros]

I think Seth Meyers just made a big check on the bucket list✅

[@mizuhonova]

I like how he literally called three of them "hey, hey, hey" at the end. XD

[@zislec]

Curb is coming back next week!!

[@DRPEPPER1827]

I agree!

[@vpcproduction7070]

LD IS AMAZING..

[@Picnicl]

I don't think so. Much as I admire Larry David, this sketch jumps all his usual subtle leadup to meltdown. There's no comedy of embarrassment here really- his apologies , when they ocur, are clearly totally insincere. It's a one joke sketch about Larry pulling the shots. I'm English so some differences in comedy type but I still recognise how this is a very simplified version of his normal subtle complexity.

[@1sava]

Man, I'm so glad "Curb Your Enthusiasm" finally back! It's been 6 long years, but the OG Larry David is back! He is a national treasure that should be encased, protected and cherished forever!

[@PalmurcioWorld]

Larry David is an absolute genius at awkwardness.

[@christopherbramwell8262]

[@flowerdoodle2438]

[@polymerizedrecords]

Flowerdoodle2 not easy to please. Everyone just has a different sense of humor. I've seen my friends die at fart jokes and crude humor while I found it unfunny. What's your favorite Seth bit?

Larry is wasted on morons.

[@craigfoulds8657]

And what did Seth do exactly?

[@YouzTube99]

@polymerizedrecords Not sure if you're being sarcastic . . .

[@GlennDavey]

Imagine getting to sit down with Larry David and script out a scene like his. What a joy. (And Seth makes sure to have a permanent smirk on his face like Jerry Seinfeld always did)

[@mena88]

why does this feel like jerry and george bantering?
