Larry David’s beloved comedy series “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is gearing up for a grand showing at the Primetime Emmys. The 12th and final season of the HBO/Max series has submitted for 35 nominations, including the top prize for outstanding comedy series.
Playing a fictionalized version of himself, David is again vying for the lead comedy actor category. He hopes to unseat last year’s winner and current frontrunner, Jeremy Allen White from “The Bear.” Though David is a two-time Emmy winner for writing and creating “Seinfeld,” he has yet to win as an actor despite six nominations, the last of which came in 2008.
Supporting actors J.B. Smoove, Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, two-time former nominee Cheryl Hines and Tracey Ullman will also compete in the main acting categories, as well as a posthumous submission for Richard Lewis, who died in February.
The network has opted to submit 15 performers for the guest acting categories,...

When “Curb Your Enthusiasm” began its run on HBO all the way back in 2000, creator/star Larry David had a very specific rule: He wouldn’t let the show’s cast read the episodic outlines.
“The first three seasons I did not even see an outline,” “Curb” star Cheryl Hines tells Variety‘s Awards Circuit Podcast. “I wasn’t allowed. And then yeah, and so that was the joke is when I got to hair and makeup. I’d say, ‘can anybody tell me what this show is about?’ And they’d say no. And then I finally talked Larry into letting me read an outline. I did promise Larry that I will never think ahead about what I’m going to say.”
David wanted them to think on their toes as they improvised the dialogue in scenes — and that became an early hallmark of why the show felt so unique.

If Larry David had it his way, there would be no references to “Curb Your Enthusiasm” being a “cringe comedy” in conversations about the show’s legacy.
The creator and star of the long-running HBO comedy joked “when people call it ‘cringe comedy,’ I want to wring their neck,” at the PaleyFest LA 2024 panel for the 12th and final season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (which also doubled as the show’s Emmys FYC event) on April 18.
The controversial subject had come up when Jb Smoove, who plays Leon Black on the show, explained how calling something “Curb-y” or “such a ‘Curb’ moment” has become part of the pop culture lexicon in the same way people say they feel like they’re in “The Twilight Zone.” “I hear it all the time, because there are moments where you are fucking cringing,” said the comedian. “Larry has found those moments, and he remembers them,...

Less than two weeks after Curb Your Enthusiasm aired its final episode, the cast reunited for a special event at PaleyFest on Thursday, where Larry David spoke publicly about the series finale for the first time.
In a panel conversation moderated by Judd Apatow at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre, David told the crowd that “there was a week of basking” in the glow of the finale, which ended with an appearance by Jerry Seinfeld and a play on the Seinfeld ending.
“Honestly I was kind of blown away at the response to the finale, yeah,” David continued. “It exceeded my wildest expectations; of course, I never have expectations for anything.” Apatow asked if he had read reviews of the ending, and the star teased, “Only if they’re good, yes.”
Executive producer Jeff Schaffer said that Seinfeld joked the final Curb episode was 26 years in the making, as a way...

Kathy Griffin might have appeared on Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, but she has nothing nice to say about her experiences or Larry David, the creator of those shows. “Larry David dumped me,” the comedian told The Enquirer, noting it happened after her controversial 2017 social media post where she posed for a photo holding a replica of former president Donald Trump‘s severed head. “Not in a fun charming way,” she continued. “He’s really not a pleasant person. He plays a version of himself on that show that he thinks he is.” Griffin appeared in the first episode of Curb, “The Pants Tent,” which aired on October 15, 2000. In the episode, Larry uses Griffin as an excuse to explain to Cheryl (Cheryl Hines) his tension with Jeff (Jeff Garlin), though it’s later uncovered as a lie when Griffin meets them all at a restaurant. Despite her brief history with the show,...

Larry David reflected on his 24 years and 12 seasons of working on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” sharing with the guys at “Smartless” that he only had buyer’s remorse for casting actors who were bad a improv “a couple of times.”
“It’s only happened a couple of times in the show where people were trying to be funny. And that’s, like, the worst thing you can do,” David told Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes (the latter of whom actually guest starred on the comedy’s final season earlier this year) on Monday’s podcast episode.
“Not many,” he said, “but there have been a few who really couldn’t do it.”
Loosely fictionalized around David’s own life as an actor and writer in Los Angeles, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” costarred Cheryl Hines, Susie Essman, J.B. Smoove, Jeff Garlin and the late Richard Lewis and was famously improvisational,...

Larry David’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” aired its series finale after 24 years and 12 seasons on Sunday, when it reached 1.1 million viewers.
Calculated from a combination of Nielsen’s measurement of linear viewers on the HBO cable channel and Warner Bros. Discovery’s own data regarding streams on Max, this marks the highest viewership of any episode of Season 12, which debuted on Feb. 4.
The finale also drew the “Curb Your Enthusiasm’s” largest audience since 2020, when the Season 10 finale hit 1.4 million viewers. That episode predated the launch of Max, and instead streamed on now defunct platforms HBO Go and HBO Now, as well on cable.
Titled “No Lessons Learned,” the episode concluded an arc that began with the Season 12 premiere, wherein Larry was arrested for giving water to a woman in line to vote in Atlanta. The finale sees Larry and his entourage through his trial, mirroring the 1998 courtroom finale of “Seinfeld,...

Festivus. Anti-dentite. Bad-breaker-upper. Pretty, pretty, pretty good. From Seinfeld to Curb Your Enthusiasm, for 35 years, Larry David has helped to contribute dozens of phrases to the pop culture lexicon. And in the penultimate episode of the final season, Curb may have offered up his career piece de resistance with returning guest star Bruce Springsteen’s unexpectedly hilarious “floor fucker” comment.
Now, it appears the hit show’s lewd phrase has crossed into the real world — and into one of The Boss’ stadium shows.
Springsteen, who first appeared on the second episode in the HBO comedy’s 12th season, reemerged in the March 31 installment because he wanted to meet Larry David, who became a liberal hero after (unknowingly) standing up against a Georgia 2021 voting law that makes it illegal to provide food or water to voters in line at the polls. During a conversation with Larry at the home of Jeff...

Would you date the Bearded Lady? Midway through the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” finale, when Larry David is on the ropes — facing a loss in court for violating Georgia’s Election Integrity Act — and his old friend, Jerry Seinfeld, shows up for a last-second assist, that’s the hypothetical question the two men bat back and forth. She’s gorgeous, Larry says. She’s charming. She’s got it all. “The kind of woman you used to dream about as a teenager,” he says. But, you know… the beard. “Fly in the ointment,” Jerry says. “And this is a big fly. And he’s alive.” “What’s the worst that can happen?” Larry asks. “The worst that can happen is it’s a paper napkin,” Jerry says, “and she wipes her mouth, and part of it snags.”

The mother wants the child to learn the lesson of saying “sorry,” forcing Larry to stay put and receive that apology.

Curb Your Enthusiasm aired its much-anticipated series finale on Sunday night (April 7), and fans are already calling it the “best finale ever.” Larry David looked back to his Seinfeld past for Sunday’s finale, which saw the fictionalized version of himself on trial for violating the state of Georgia’s Election Integrity Act. Earlier in the season, Larry was arrested for giving water to Leon’s (J.B. Smoove) aunt while she waited in line to vote. Much like the Seinfeld finale, which saw Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer in the courtroom, Larry’s trial sees the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Ted Danson, and the late Richard Lewis testifying on his behalf. His ex-wife Cheryl (Cheryl Hines) and long-time friends Jeff (Jeff Garlin) and Susie (Susie Essman) also take to the stand to try and defend him. Despite being hailed a hero throughout the season for his law-breaking act (even though...

Spoiler Alert! This story contains details from the series finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm on HBO.
After 12 seasons, Larry David officially signed off as Larry David on his HBO comedy. And as predicted, he used his time on Seinfeld to help tie up loose ends on Curb.
The action began with Larry heading back to Atlanta to face charges for handing out water at a polling place at the start of the season. Traveling with him is Jeff (Jeff Garlin), Susie (Susie Essman) and his longtime roomie Leon (D.B. Smoove), who declared he was going to catch up on old episodes of Seinfeld during the flight.
“You never told me it was a show about weekly ass,” he rants to Larry.
While driving into the city, Larry encounters an irate, bird-flipping driver named Cynthia (Allison Janney), who ends up being the latest squeeze of Richard. Naturally, Cynthia denies later that she was the one who tussled with Larry on the freeway.
In court, the prosecutor (Greg Kinnear) tries to bolster his case that Larry both violated the Election Integrity Act and is a general menace to society by questioning several antagonists from the comedian’s past: Mocha Joe (Saverio Guerra), the country club’s Tackahashi (Dana Lee) and the real Lt. Alexander Vindman, who “won’t tolerate corruption from Trump, Putin or Larry David.” Bruce Springsteen returned, too, as did Tracey Ullman.
The Curb flashbacks and stars just kept coming. Ted Danson showed up in Atlanta for the trial, as did Jerry Seinfeld (as himself), Dean Morris (as the judge) and Sharlto Copley (as Michael Fouchay).
Despite flashing a heart sign to the jury, Larry didn’t make a good witness for himself. The jury, naturally, convicts Larry.
“You have a history of doing the same thing wrong, over and over,” says the judge, who sentences Larry to a year in prison.
The comedian ends up in a cell that’s not unlike the one that Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine were in during the polarizing, 1998 series finale of Seinfeld. But that’s not where this comedy ends: the real Jerry shows up to tell Larry that he’s a free man because one of the jurors broke sequester. The charges were thrown out!
“It’s over,” says Jerry, who gestures to the jail cell. “You don’t want to end up like this. Nobody wants to see it. Trust me.”
As the two walk out of the jail, Larry exclaims, “This is how we should have ended the [Seinfeld] finale!”
Replies Jerry, “How did we not think of that?”...

Spoiler Alert: This article discusses plot points from the series finale of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
After nearly 25 years of Larry David’s disagreements, feuds and outbursts, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” aired its final episode on Sunday.
The appropriately-named “No Lessons Learned” — the 10th episode of Season 12 — wrapped up a season-long arc that started when Larry was arrested in Atlanta for giving water to Auntie Rae (Ellia English) while she was in line to vote, violating local law. Through the season, he became something of a pop culture hero for doing the right thing, even though had no idea he was breaking any law, let alone making any sort of statement.
Of course, Larry’s entourage heads to Atlanta for the trial, including Cheryl (Cheryl Hines) and Ted Danson (playing himself), Jeff (Jeff Garlin) and Susie (Susie Essman), and Leon (J. B. Smoove) and Richard Lewis (playing himself). Richard headed to Atlanta...

In 2000, Larry David returned to TV for the first time since Seinfeld, turning the focus on himself with Curb Your Enthusiasm, reaching a new audience with his heightened, fictionalized version of himself. More than two decades later, he’s closing the curtain on the hit HBO series.
On Friday, ahead of the April 7 finale, fans gathered for an evening with Larry David at Warner Bros. Discovery at 30 Hudson Yards, hosted by Tribeca and HBO. Throughout a chat moderated by MSNBC’s Ari Melber, David looked back at the 24 years of Curb, with some surprises in store.
Melber went back to the very beginning of Curb, showing a clip from David’s 1999 meta HBO mockumentary that holds the same title as his hit series, in which he makes a return to stand-up comedy post-Seinfeld and prepares to make a TV special for the network. When asked about his stand-up career,...

[This story contains spoilers from season 12, episode nine of Curb Your Enthusiasm, “Ken/Kendra.”]
Life imitated art again with the latest Curb Your Enthusiasm. Or, if you ask show boss Jeff Schaffer, “life imitated silly art.”
The silly art he is referring to is when Curb‘s Larry David (played by the real Larry David) gave Bruce Springsteen Covid-19, forcing him to cancel his music tour. Springsteen had made a brief cameo earlier in the season in the “Lawn Jockey” episode, where the Boss praised Larry for becoming a liberal hero after he (unknowingly) stood up against a Georgia 2021 voting law that makes it illegal to provide food or water to voters in line at the polls.
“That’s Larry David’s middle name: Larry ‘Involvement’ David,” said Springsteen on CNN when making his first Curb cameo.
Now, in the ninth episode of season 12 — the penultimate episode before the Emmy-winning HBO comedy’s series finale this weekend — Springsteen returns.

Chicago – Chicago is acknowledged as one of the great comedy cities in the world mostly for The Second City influence. However like other cities, there is an ebb and flow regarding stand-up comedy, and during the late 1980s/early 1990s there was a stand-up boom in the Windy City, chronicled in the film “Out of the Loop.” Producer Scott Perlman provides the context behind the documentary, now available for free on Plex and Tubi, and for download on various platforms.
“Out of the Loop” is familiar documentary form, but there are several twists in the story that occur, exposing the uniqueness of Chicago … one of the main ones being the great divide between Black and White comics, also divided geographically between South and North sides. The truth, in this case, set several comics free and emphasized the lost legend of the late Bernie Mac. Featuring well know and lesser known...

As “Curb Your Enthusiasm” prepares to bid farewell after a 24-year run and 12 seasons on HBO, star J.B. Smoove argues there’s one mystery left unsolved that he’d love to see get the spin-off treatment: What was Leon Black up to before he met Larry David?
“I’d be a fool to say I wouldn’t be open to a spin-off,” Smoove told TheWrap. “I think this dude has levels to him. We don’t know what he does when he’s not with Larry, we don’t know where he came from. I think there’s something to this guy that’s really interesting in how he sees things.”
Leon first appeared in “Curb” during Season 6 when he decides to take refuge at Larry and Cheryl’s house after his family is displaced by a hurricane — and proceeds to never move out. Over the subsequent seven seasons, he...

Jeff Garlin has been a part of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm since the first season premiered in 2000, and despite his best efforts not to be sentimental about it, he’s feeling emotional about the show’s ending. The actor appeared on The Roku Channel’s The Rich Eisen Show on March 26, where he was asked if he was “sentimental” about the end of the iconic sitcom, which airs its series finale on Sunday, April 7. “Not at all, zero, and by the way, I’m a sentimental guy,’ Garlin said, though he started to get emotional when talking about filming the final scene alongside his long-time co-star and Curb creator, Larry David. “I have to admit something else,” he shared. “So yes, I’m not sentimental about it, but last day of filming, last scene ever of the show, and [director] Jeff Schaffer comes out, and he says that’s a...

[This story contains spoilers from season 12, episode eight of Curb Your Enthusiasm, “The Colostomy Bag.”]
Conan O’Brien made his long-awaited cameo on the latest episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. The talk show host — who is a close friend to creator-star Larry David in real life — appeared on the HBO comedy as a high-profile neighbor, someone TV Larry (played by the real David) felt he needed “clearance” in order to approach.
For the final season’s eighth episode bit, Larry sought out his friend Richard Lewis (who also played a version of himself on the series) to help him get permission to approach the comedian but, due to the episode’s chain of events, clearance doesn’t come in time when Larry ends up needing a big favor.
So Larry arrives, unannounced, at O’Brien’s home, begging for “emergency clearance” because his car died (Larry angered a valet, who unplugged his electric car) and he’s afraid that Susie Greene...

“Curb Your Enthusiasm” star Susie Essman spoke out for the first time on Monday about the real-life vandalism of her HBO billboard in Los Angeles, saying the fact that it was graffitied with penises just like in the comedy’s final season was “hilarious.”
“Somebody thought that I would be upset by that — I thought that it was hilarious!” she told “Sherri” host Sherri Shepherd. “I was laughing all day long when I saw that. I thought it was so funny.”
The vandalism came earlier this month in response to the plot of a “Curb Your Enthusiasm” episode, which sees the character Susie starting her own caftan business and buying a billboard ad. On the show, the billboard is soon defaced with what Essman described as “male bodily parts” — of course, to her character’s dismay and Larry David’s joy.

Life imitated art this week in the world of Curb Your Enthusiasm when a real-life Hollywood billboard ended up vandalized, just like the plot of last week’s episode.
As viewers will recall, the sixth episode in the final season of Larry David’s HBO comedy saw Susie Greene (played by Susie Essman) unveiling her new business venture, Catch as Caftan, which she was promoting on a billboard on Santa Monica Boulevard. During the episode, the billboard gets graffitied — with two, large penises cleverly located — and the updated work of art ends up sending sales through the roof. During last week’s chat with The Hollywood Reporter, executive producer Jeff Schaffer revealed the marketing stunt and had dared adoring Curb artists to mimic the show’s plot.

Once again, life has imitated art. A billboard in Los Angeles has been vandalized in an homage to Curb Your Enthusiasm.
The billboard, located at Centinela Ave. and Santa Monica Blvd., depicts an advertisement for Susie Essman’s Caftan. On the show, the Susie character started her own business and used a billboard to advertise it. But the poster on the board was vandalized, with people drawing penises around her face. Naturally, Larry David was delighted.
HBO commissioned an exact replica of the TV billboard, and when it went up a week ago, it was also defaced in a manner similar to the TV show.
TMZ reports the vandals are an activist art collective called Indecline.
They acted on the request of Curb Your Enthusiasm star Jeff Garlin, who wrote on Instagram, “Someone should put a d*** up there. Maybe two.”
After the vandalism, Garlin posted, “Whomever did this, I give you my deepest gratitude.

Coleman Hough, who received solo screenplay credit on the quirky Steven Soderbergh-directed improvisational films Full Frontal and Bubble, has died. She was 62.
Hough died Feb. 24 at the Actors Fund Home in Englewood, New Jersey, after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease, her friend Jennifer Romine told The Hollywood Reporter. She was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s when she was 42.
Full Frontal (2002), set in Hollywood and a film within a film, shot in 18 days using a consumer-grade digital camera and was the first produced screenplay by playwright and poet Hough.
Featuring Julia Roberts, Catherine Keener, David Hyde Pierce, Blair Underwood, David Duchovny and Jeff Garlin as a Harvey Weinstein type, it marked an extreme change of pace for Soderbergh, who was coming off Erin Brockovich (2000), an Oscar win for Traffic (2000) and Ocean’s Eleven (2001).

The final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm reunited Larry David with one of his closest co-stars when the late Richard Lewis returned to the HBO comedy after taking a hiatus over his health.
On the Feb. 18 episode of season 12, titled “Vertical Drop, Horizontal Tug,” the lifelong friends were seen riding a golf cart, talking about their Wordle streaks and golf swings. Their friendly chatter quickly turned antagonistic — as could be expected from the comedians’ Curb alter egos — when Lewis told Larry he tweaked his will and had added the Seinfeld creator to his end-of-life document. When Larry pushes back, insisting he doesn’t need his money, Lewis counters: “When I die, I want you to know how much I cared about you. You’re my best friend, you’re getting it.” Despite Larry’s insistence that he would not accept the offer, Lewis didn’t give up: “I’m giving it to you anyway,...

I wrote up an obituary for Richard Lewis, who succumbed to a heart attack Tuesday night at 76, and was left feeling surprisingly bereft. I wondered why his death was hitting me so hard. I was a longtime fan, but I’d never met the man. I respected his comedy, but I didn’t necessarily think of him as one of the all-time greats – just a solid, uniquely neurotic, funny man who seemed to have a brilliantly manic way about him. When I think of him now, he’s bent over, stalking the stage, right hand on forehead, gesturing like a crazy man, looking like someone whose brain is about to burst out of his head.
Yes, he was unfailingly hilarious every time he showed up on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” significantly mellower than in his younger years but still carrying plenty of sharp wit and irony whenever the camera was on him.

Richard Lewis’ friends and co-stars, including Larry David, Jamie Lee Curtis and Cheryl Hines, are taking to social media to pay tribute to the late actor and comedian.
Lewis, known for his role on Curb Your Enthusiasm, died Tuesday night at his Los Angeles home after suffering a heart attack, his publicist told The Hollywood Reporter. The Anything but Love actor revealed in April last year that he had been living with Parkinson’s disease and was retiring from stand-up.
Larry David, the star and creator of Curb Your Enthusiasm, shared in a statement: “Richard and I were born three days apart in the same hospital and for most of my life he’s been like a brother to me. He had that rare combination of being the funniest person and also the sweetest. But today he made me sob and for that I’ll never forgive him.”

One of the more fascinating aspects of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is just how much of its recurring cast is playing themselves. Ted Danson plays Ted Danson, Cheryl Hines plays Cheryl Hines. Even when the actors are playing completely fictional characters, they still often keep the same name: Jeff Garlin plays Jeff Greene, for instance, just as Susie Essman plays Susie Greene. The result is a strange blend of fiction and reality. Logically, we know that Lin Manuel-Miranda is not actually a petty guy who gets in literal duels like his "Hamilton" main character, but a lot of the humor in his storyline is based in the idea that this is indeed what he's like in real life.
For Larry David, he's often remarked that this approach gives him a strange kind of freedom; he can do all the petty things he wants to do in real life, but now the...

Richard Lewis, the master of self-deprecating comedy who whined his way to stardom with stand-up TV specials, a sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall and turns on Anything but Love and Curb Your Enthusiasm, has died. He was 76.
Lewis died peacefully Tuesday night at his home in Los Angeles after suffering a heart attack, his publicist told The Hollywood Reporter. The actor and comic revealed in April that he had been living with Parkinson’s disease and was retiring from stand-up.
“For the last three-and-a-half years, I’ve had sort of a rocky time,” he said on social media when sharing his health woes publicly after wrapping Curb‘s 12th season, which would eventually be announced as the last for the Larry David HBO comedy. Lewis had stepped away in 2021, appearing on only one season 11 episode, and returned for the now-airing final season.

On the latest Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, Larry David (the character) is accused of being the anonymous writer of a letter griping about his Los Angeles country club. The letter, which is posted to the locker room bulletin board, is signed “Disgruntled” and grabs the attention of the club’s owner, Mr. Takahashi (Dana Lee), who happens to have a long-standing feud with Larry.
It makes sense that Larry would be assumed to be the so-called Disgruntled member. In this episode — the fourth in the final season, titled “Disgruntled” — Larry, who is enjoying newfound fame as a political national hero after his premiere episode visit to Georgia, gets under the skin of several members of the club’s staff when he complains about breakfast not being served after 11 a.m., brings his own bread and his own eggs to the kitchen, and then accuses the chef of not using his home-brought eggs.
