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.

[@chrisdalton5646]

​@@kenneldExactly, he has both contained mounting frustration AND he also becomes so aghast that he's amused by the absurdity of Larry's behavior. It's nuance. It's professionalism. He has a theatrical improvisation background so he listens and responds organically to his scene partners; a skill we apparently don't expect thanks to how Jimmy Fallon has impacted where the bar is.

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. 😮

[@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.

[@LawlerC]

This was everything I cou,d have hoped for. The stare down, the jingle at the end. Perfect.

[@pantonfire]

Jerry Sethfield is the thing.

[@arcy63]

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

[@bookchick101]
