Larry David just won’t go away because HBO picked up Curb Your Enthusiasm for a 12th season.
“Playing the role of Larry David has been the greatest honor of my life. In researching this multi-faceted, multi-talented man, I discovered that there’s more to him than I ever could have imagined: He speaks six languages, brines his own pickles, and spearheads a national movement to install a bidet in every home. I’ve also been told from numerous sources that he is the most generous of lovers,” David said. “I am so excited to once again transform into this force of nature. I only pray that I can do him justice.”
No word when this upcoming season will debut, and with David, it will be whenever he wants to shoot it. Because he is Larry David.
On February 16th, HBO announced that it was going to air a two-part documentary about Larry David on March 1st. However, less than 30 hours before the premiere something changed. HBO Docs announced, “The #LarryDavidStory on @HBOMax is being postponed. Instead, Larry has decided he wants to do it in front of an audience. Stay tuned for more info.”
I hope he is bringing the cameras with him as he attempts to go live with his story. Because if not, that is a messed-up thing he did to the network at the last minute.
But then again, they have been in bed with him since 2000 with Curb Your Enthusiasm. And they know he will give them another season when he feels like it.
Some booker at Today did something very smart. They decided to book both Larry David and Bernie Sanders on the same episode this morning. This way we got to see the two of them in one place at the same time. Proving that even though they look alike and at times they even talk alike, they are not like Patty Duke on jer self-titled sitcom; they are actually two different people.
Now I think I can tell who is running for president and who plays him on Saturday Night Live. At I think I can. Can you?
When you saw and heard Bernie Sanders for the first time, you thought he looked and sounded just like Larry David. You weren’t alone, so did Lorne Michaels which is why he asked the star of Curb Your Enthusiasm to play the Presidential Candidate on Saturday Night Live.
Does that mean that all tall, white haired, balding Jews from NY look and sound alike? Nope. Yesterday at the TCAs, David revealed that they are something like third cousins. According to Variety, the actor recently found that out when he filmed on PBS’s Finding Your Roots.
Now you know why they look and sound alike, they are cousins just like in The Patty Duke Show. Which makes me wonder how long it will be until Michaels pitches that as sitcom. I would totally watch them reconnecting like Balki and Larry did on Perfect Strangers!
Larry David was the host on Saturday Night Live yesterday, so of course Democratic Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders also appeared on the show. While the sketch wasn’t that funny, it was hysterical to see the two of them together. Now that we have, I still don’t know who was who. Can you tell the difference between the politician and the comedian?
Maybe this other bit from the show yesterday where David played Sanders can help you out or maybe it will make it worse?
