Larry David was on Late Night yesterday, and Seth Meyers did an impressive job going back and forth with the curmudgeon comedian—the best I have ever seen anyone do with the Curb Your Enthusiasm star.
It started off with a bang, as in David going off on the drummer.
Then Meyers called out his guest for not having him guest on the HBO sitcom, even though he made him an offer. David explained to the host that he doesn’t think of him as an actor and doesn’t trust Meyers to act with his precious work. Thus, why he never got the call.
And Meyers wanted to save himself a phone call, so he asked David, who is going to see their friend Susie Essman, to send his regards to her. And he said no, Meyers should reach out to her himself. And he is right. Why do we have someone send our regards when we can do it ourselves?
But the best part came when David told two stories, hoping that Meyers would make the connection. And he did.
Therefore, ending the first part of their interview brilliantly.
But it was not over. There was still five minutes to go.
David called out the show for airing a clip from Curb without an introduction, so it didn’t make sense.
Then Meyers confronted David for attacking the lovable Elmo on the Today show earlier in the day. And he said he would do it again. And I bet he would,
Finally, Seth asked Larry to come back on the show just to chat. And he said, “You know what? I am not going to do that.”
David said that then, but he might change his mind when someone reads this Tweet to him from Meyers, “Top to bottom maybe my favorite interview ever.”
And it was one of mine too. Meyers does not get the respect he deserves because he is hands down the best interviewer on late night TV these days. Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Stephen Colbert could learn a thing or two from him.
Finally, these two played so well off of each other I would love to see them star in a father/son comedy. It couild be about Meyers needing to take in his dad, who was kicked out of his assisted living facility for obvious reasons.

Larry David was on the Today show today, and he did something that stunned many—and left others envious.
What did he do? He beat up Elmo. That’s right. He smothered and punched the beloved Sesame Street resident live on the air.
Poor Elmo was on the morning news program to ask people how they feel. And, like the responses to his tweet this week, he is not doing well.
Hopefully, Elmo is doing better now because the Curb Your Enthusiasm star apologized to the muppet, who likes to be tickled as compared to punched.
And David is a bigger man than Justin Timberlake. The Dick without a Box introduced his song Cry Me a River yesterday by saying, “I’d like to take this opportunity…to apologize…to absolutely fucking nobody.”
Oh, he will be apologizing to fucking everybody because his record and concert sales are going to tank. And even another shitty *NSYNC song is not going to save his sorry fucking ass without him learning to say I am sorry.
Before Larry David was the most annoying person in a scene, the Ants had him beat in this movie. He has come a long way since he was 18 and being an uncredited extra in that 1977 movie.
HBO announced that Curb Your Enthusiasm will be back for its 12th season on February 4th. That’s the good news. The bad news is that it will be the series last one.
”As CURB comes to an end, I will now have the opportunity to finally shed this ‘Larry David’ persona and become the person God intended me to be – the thoughtful, kind, caring, considerate human being I was until I got derailed by portraying this malignant character,” Larry David said. “And so ‘Larry David,’ I bid you farewell. Your misanthropy will not be missed. And for those of you who would like to get in touch with me, you can reach me at Doctors Without Borders.”
Mark your calendars. The series finale airs on April 7th.
Are you sad that this is the last we will see of the miserable Larry David and his friends?
