Larry David: Pretty, Pretty Good

About this episode

Larry David joins the podcast to discuss the essence of comedy and share personal anecdotes.

Larry David didn’t really want to come on the podcast. But in classic Larry fashion, he showed up anyway and delivered a masterclass in comedy, revealing the real Larry: grumpy, generous, and unmistakably a mensch. In this season finale, walks Elon and Eli through why conflict is at the heart of everything funny, how the stories on Seinfeld and Curb get “puzzled” together, and why he can’t stand convenient coincidences, even when they work. Along the way, the conversation drifts through stolen impressions, Shabbat dinner stories, run-ins with SNL censors, and the meaning of “pretty, pretty, pretty good.” Get in touch with Elon and Eli at starsofdavid@unpacked.media.
