Hey everybody i am just doing a run down of
the larry david howard stern interview yesterday.
I'm a pretty big fan of larry's work on seinfeld.
I still watch seinfeld to this day.
It's one of the best shows in my opinion that's
ever aired on tv and i've always felt like
howard has always been and I have a lot of
criticism of howard.
I love howard's show but there's a lot of
things i criticize the show and one of them
is that i feel like he's late to discover
talent one of those being larry david.
And larry david's been around for quite a
while i was surprised it was his first appearance
but i'm glad he did the show.
It was the same thing with Louis CK.
I remember a couple of years ago Louis would
call Gary and be like why won't you let me
come on the show and then you know Gary would
say well you're not really a right fit for
the show and look how big louis CK is now.
Now he's on howard's show once every year
It's the same thing with The Black Keys and
the Royal Bloods.
Even when he had Jay-Z on a couple of years
ago he said he just discovered 99 problems
the song and that songs from 2003.
When howard discovered it it was 9 years later
and to be fair howard is a 60 year old man
so of course he is a bit older.
But lets talk about the interview.
There were some interesting stuff that came
out of the interview, most importantly that
he used to be in the military, I guess he
served in the reserves during the Vietnam
Era and in order to get out of the Vietnam
War there was a psychiatrist who would write
notes to the military telling them that oh
this soldier is crazy or this guys crazy he
shouldn't serve and that's exactly how Larry
got out of the military.
He went and saw the psychiatrist acted crazy
he did the same in front of his commanding
officer and didn't have to serve anymore,
which was pretty funny
The other thing that was surprised to hear
is that he was a writer on SNL which i didn't
know.
On one episode of Seinfeld George called out
his boss in front of all of his coworkers
and then goes back the next day and pretends
it never happened actually happened to Larry
while he was writing for SNL.
And then the other thing he revealed to is
that the episode of Seinfeld where they are
at the Chinese restaurant was just hated by
network executives and they didn't want to
air it.
And a lot of the time larry would walk actually
almost walk off set and say if you're not
going to do my episode well i am going to
walk off and not work on this project any
more.
It's funny because that episode is one of
the most popular episodes of Seinfeld.
The other thing he revealed too is that he
used to be a limo driver for quite a while
and a cab driver for quite a while and he
said that it sort of helped him with his life
skills.
The other thing he was asked was whether Curb
Your Enthusiasm would be back for another
season and he basically hinted that he probably
would not do another season and he also said
that the last episode of Seinfeld still bothered
because of the negative reaction to it and
he would never want to do a grand finale for
curb your enthusiasm so he may just let the
show rest and not follow up on it from this
point.
He was there promoting some upcoming play
is he in.
But it was a really good interview.
I was glad he did the show hopefully he is
a regular..
I'd love to know what you guys think of the
interview.
