Larry David Lied to Seth About Doing an Episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm

[@TE-hy7bj]

What's great about this is Seth complaining that he was never in an episode of Curb, only for the interview to turn into one

[@popeye697]

Exactly.

[@stefanschleps8758]

Curb? Thats a show right? 😮

[@davidgordon980]

Just as they planned. Love it.

[@housevisand]

i was thinking the exact same thing.

[@ms0824]

Totally

[@realBrianCars]

The way Larry always says, "By the way" or "Let me ask you something," always kills me.

[@toevlugsoord]

Especially funny moment when he asks this in The Safe House episode.

[@Davon85J]

His smirk that goes along with it is the cherry on top 😂

[@goratgo1970]

It's a setup!

[@ls607997]

In every episode of Curb, Larry can argue with anyone he wants, and then, change the subject by saying, “Let me ask you something.” This will be my new move in life.

[@PhillyHardy]

We’re in trouble, without him we’ll lose all respect for wood!

[@TomKeinert]

This is the most Larry David I have ever seen Larry David, and it makes me so dang happy. ❤️

[@terminalbungus9566]

Seth blowing Larry's mind by explaining how he's "the stretcher" was so perfect that it's hard to believe that wasn't scripted. Larry's reaction (confusion > understanding > humility) was so genuine, though, it had to be real.

[@BokorugroRR]

I had the opposite feeling, I am sure it was scripted, but still a great bit :)

[@olaf3140]

I honestly can't tell! It seems too good to be true, but it kills me that I can't know for sure

[@waryaawariiri1812]

I had never seen Seth being this very comfortable and easy with a guest. He was even baiting him, knowing what everyday absurdities David will spill.

[@slayerduval1]

Love Seth. His interviews with his old BFF Andy Samberg are so damn funny. Actually, I love all his interviews with old SNL friends.

[@jlbueno0611]

Before Seth as a talk show host , there is Seth the master comedy writer ...and once paired with Larry David, you get to see a clash of two greats . Art and creativity in pure form .

[@slayerduval1]

100% And Seth has a super quick mind so it's perfect repartee. It's amazing how many of my favorite SNL sketches he wrote. Seth actually wrote the iconic "Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton sketch - with "I can Russia from my house!"@@jlbueno0611

[@kaylee5251]

You do realize that this isn't a "cold call" interview. They discuss beforehand what items will be in the interview.

[@dave210yt]

Reminded me of some Letterman's interviews, set 'em up and let the guest bring it home.

[@wrenbo4816]

one of the best interviews of larry because they actually spoke his language the whole time. a great ten minutes.

[@Leblribrbrrq]

It feels like this segment was a substitute for Seth being on Curb.

[@DrVRhodes7541]

They pretty much did a pitch for a whole episode. And it would have been funny too.

[@drewburningham1238]

Seth gets his wish by doing 10 minutes of Curb Your Enthusiasm with Larry by accident.

[@Magellanicloud13]

certainly not by accident

[@matthewwebb6001]

It very well could have been planned or by accident but it has to feel satisfying to think everything we see is fake / staged. Send it to corrections so we can get to the bottom of it.

[@catfood5735]

This was fun to watch. I feel like they did this interview similar to how they do episodes of Curb. Like how Curb isnt really "scripted", they just give kind of an idea of a certain situation or topic and the actors improv the lines

[@aminm369]

I think you are the only interviewer knows how to interview Larry. In other interview he always seems uncomfortable and regretful that he came to the show. Not yours Seth. Well done.

[@JacksonDreyer]

As a professional massage therapist/“stretcher”, I ABSOLUTELY want my clients to be honest when I ask for feedback. I sure hope people don’t think I’m just fishing for compliments! I want to help you as best I can, and ideally grow as a professional. So your honest, specific feedback is crucial!

Seth is the real therapist and helped Larry with a breakthrough.

[@annestewart5741]

I was immediately thinking the same thing & going to comment it, & then Seth said it! Perfect, huh?! Brilliant. I LOVE that this happened in this interview with these 2 stories/situations back to back that ended up relating to each other in that way. Hilarious! And Larry really didn't see it before this, lol. You can tell it wasn't a pre-planned bit. 👏🤣

I have never laughed so hard for a guest segment on that show, watched it as it aired last night. The "regards" discussion had me howling! 😂😂😂

[@empireoflightz]

Sneakily the best part because it's the only one that didn't seem pre-prepared, or if it was they managed to do it really well like he just came up with it off the cuff

[@CmonYouReds1892]

@@empireoflightz well, if you're up on your Seinfeld knowledge, the "regards" deal was in fact in an episode where George phoned and asked out a woman from his childhood because someone told him she said "hello" when she only said " give him my regards" so it likely was prepared too but it's definitely how Larry truly feels about it which is the funniest part

[@stephaniehenry5617]

I knew from the moment Seth said send her my regards I knew Larry was going to clown him like no I'm not doing that.

He’s quick on his feet, like when a joke bombs or something goes wrong he gets a bigger laugh out of that, add in when he’s talking to another comedian he can bounce off and it’s usually very good. Seth is my go to late night guy for that, for my money he’s the funniest. By some margin.

@@LapsedPacifist79 Me too, Dave Letterman used to make bad material hilarious by saying how bad it sucked. Seth also does this super well, even covering his face after telling a mega-bomb joke. I've watched some old Johnny Carson clips where he would also do this, and Ed McMahon also mocking how bad his jokes were. Seth is more himself and less constrained since Covid, and I feel exactly the same way. These two were great together.
