Larry David Explains Why ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Is Ending For Real This Time
HuffPost
The 76-year-old doubled down at the Season 12 premiere that his beloved HBO series was coming to a close.
Larry David is doubling down on the bittersweet fact that “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is ending.
The beloved star and creator had already announced as much in December and spurred genuinely mournful reactions. However, when asked at the premiere why the show’s impending 12th season would be its last, he hilariously responded: “Because I said so.”
“I’m not lying,” David told The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet Wednesday in reference to baffled reactions. “People think I’m lying — I’m not a liar. OK, yeah, 15 years ago, I said it was the last season — that’s what I say when I don’t think I’m going to come up with another one. But, this is it.”
“Curb,” which chronicles a fictional version of David, has been a flagship HBO series since it premiered in 2000. It notably did away with the three-camera sitcom aesthetic of David’s “Seinfeld” and used a documentary-style approach that only complemented his premises.
Those premises hilariously concerned David’s rejection of countless societal norms and his interpersonal squabbles with a roster of celebrities that portrayed exaggerated versions of themselves. While this became appointment viewing for millions, David is saying goodbye.
