Larry David, the beloved comedic genius behind the hit show “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” recently made an appearance on the renowned talk show, “David Letterman.” In a lively and entertaining conversation, Larry opened up about his unusual feelings towards talk shows, his Broadway debut, and the challenges he faces as an actor.
Despite previously expressing his lack of enjoyment when it comes to talk shows, Larry graciously thanked David Letterman for having him as a guest multiple times. He acknowledged that while he doesn’t always enjoy the experience, it can have its occasional moments of satisfaction.
The main topic of discussion during the interview was Larry’s Broadway debut. Not only is he starring in the play, but he also wrote it. However, he never intended to act in it himself. The play centers around a character that coincidentally bears a striking resemblance to Larry.
David Letterman, always the inquisitive host, was curious about Larry’s concerns and motivations. He questioned why Larry, with all his experience as a comedian and writer, felt the need to perform in a play. Larry confessed that the producer persuaded him by suggesting it would enhance his social life, a temptation he couldn’t resist.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Larry revealed his apprehension about the hectic schedule and the pressure of performing in front of a live audience. As someone who doesn’t particularly enjoy the theater, he expressed concern for his fellow actors, fearing they might forget their lines.
When asked about his confidence during rehearsals, Larry admitted to feeling anxious and frightened. He humorously compared his inability to remember lines to not recalling what he had for breakfast. Despite his nerves, he sought David’s guidance and assistance. David amusingly suggested that Larry announce his retirement, allowing them to leave the theater together.
Throughout the interview, Larry’s unique sense of humor shone through. He entertained the audience with anecdotes, such as the time a housekeeper accidentally caught him naked in his hotel room. Larry jokingly blamed the incident on the lack of discretion taught in housekeeping school.
As the conversation drew to a close, David Letterman expressed his support and wished Larry a long and successful run on Broadway. However, Larry couldn’t help but voice his concerns about living in a hotel. He joked about the transient nature of hotel life and the lack of discretion in hotel encounters.
Despite the ups and downs Larry encounters during his Broadway journey, there’s no denying the excitement surrounding his debut. With previews starting on February 2nd and the official opening on March 5th, theater enthusiasts and Larry David fans alike eagerly anticipate what promises to be a remarkable performance.
So mark your calendars, because Larry David‘s Broadway journey in “Fish in the Dark” is set to delight audiences for years to come. And who knows, you might just spot David Letterman in the crowd, laughing along with everyone else, much to Larry’s chagrin.
