Larry David talks Richard Lewis, ‘Curb’ finale and start in comedy

[@kelex12]

12 seasons, 120 episodes, 24 years of amazing television. Thank you for the memories and the laughs, Larry David. I'm going to miss the show. The finale was great!

I did something similar, after discovering the show: 6 seasons in two weeks. 12? Just wow. Larry and kids is the most hilarious segments of Curb.... Sewing Machine, Judy and the magic trick. 😅😅😅

I’ve been saying pretty good preeetty good for probably 15 years now lol

Larry bringing in JB Smouve to the show was genius the way those two bounced ideas and dialogue off each other, comedy gold!

[@brem3985]

I agree 100 percent

[@somemale]

He was the Kramer. Brilliant.

[@Coloradiohead]

@@somemale you’re definitely right about that. And he was able to say the N word without the racism 😂

He’s a modernized Kramer.

I don’t think even Larry had the idea of JB filling a Kramer position in the beginning. I think JB to his credit worked himself into that

I don't remember ever seeing Larry upset. I guess it's something he has to talk about publicly because Richard was on the show

[@beenis9842]

Lol he may have aged physically but not mentally, dude's as sharp as ever. What a legend

[@scoutandscooter]

Aged? He looked 80 when he was 45. Still brilliant.

[@sainters7]

Totally. I think mentally he knows he could keep going, but his aged physical appearance is what's ending it. He feels he's "aged out" of the show. Will miss him

This is by far THE most candid and off character i've ever seen Larry David be in any interview. He never shows emotion. Almost never speaks highly of others on camera. But he did all those things in this interview.

I’ve just watched 45 minutes of Larry David on KZbin… My gosh I’ve almost forgotten about my anxiety and depression and my f’n right hip that’s very painful at the moment. Thank you Larry David

[@strangemachines_]

Watching this interview is just an additional episode.

[@Volkmannx]

There is this scene in an episode of the actual season, Larry again arguing over something with Richard and eventually saying to him: 'Can't you just die already?' which made both break character and chuckle. Bittersweet funny in hindsight. Anyway, I love this show. Thank you Larry!

[@arunphillips6977]

Favorite episode is still 'The Doll' S2.E7. Just the way Susie talks to Larry and knows he took the doll's head and how hilarious that moment is in the bathroom at the end. One of the episodes I never forget.
