Description
Imagine a show not about nothing, but about the minutiae within that nothing. Now make it improv. Oh, and to take it one step further, make it star a beleaguered middle-aged man most well known for the back of his head on 'Seinfeld.' It's a concept that would horrify most network executives, but, for HBO in 1999, 'Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm' was such a winning idea that they provided no red tape and no notes (no notes!) to its creator-star, Larry David. Twenty-two years later, that certainly seemed like the right decision. Because while 'Seinfeld' had nine seasons of staying power, 'Curb' is going on its 11th season, with no signs of slowing down, or being less funny. So, of course, Allison and Kate had to cover 'Curb' in our latest episode.In researching 'Curb' (shout-out to James Andrew Miller's 'Origins' podcast for much of the source material), we learned about the evolution of the series, how a then-unknown Cheryl Hines scored the part of Larry's poor wife, why pity made Ted Danson agree to star, and how 'Curb' found itself in smack dab in the middle of a murder investigation. So on this prettay prettay prettay good morning, enjoy the story of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' on our latest episode!
