Larry David

Larry David is an American comedian, writer, actor and television producer known for a comic voice built on dry wit, social awkwardness and unsparing observation of everyday etiquette. Beginning in the late 1980s he co-created the NBC sitcom Seinfeld with Jerry Seinfeld, serving as its head writer and executive producer through most of its original run from 1989 to 1998 and shaping its focus on the minutiae of ordinary social conduct. In 2000 he created, wrote and starred in the HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm, playing a semi-fictionalized version of himself navigating self-inflicted social disasters largely through improvised dialogue, a series that ran, on and off, until 2024. Across both shows David established a template for television comedy built around discomfort and small hypocrisies.
