Jerry Seinfeld always gets credit for the show Seinfeld, but I think the more we learn about Larry David, the more we realize he was probably the genius.

@@mishagermanovich Seinfeld has said many times in interviews that Larry David was the brains of the operation and wrote most of the show. Larry would write the dialogue and the episode's story. Then he would take it to Seinfeld where they would review it together and Seinfeld would edit things pertaining to his character or agree or disagree with jokes or any element of the script that worked or didn't work. Either way this is not much different from any other stand up comedian around that time that got their own show. Cosby, Rosanne, Tim Allen and Martin Lawrence all didn't write their own shows. They had writers that wrote to their styles to which they would then go over it and decide on whether or not the script worked.

Larry David was a stand up comic before he started writing, he got into writing so he didn't have to do it anymore. He was also loved by other stand up comics for his balls when it came to doing his shows, including walking out on them because he knew the audience wasn't right for him.

They both still practice stand up and still have projects with other people. Most comics continue stand up at neaby clubs
