TheWrap Leads With Legend Larry David For The Cover Of Comedy Issue

In a world of top-notch famous comedians, Larry David is a standout name. Known as a writer on Seinfeld and writer and leading actor on the critically acclaimed Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David has made a name for himself in the comedy world, and TheWrap is acknowledging the legacy he is making in comedy.

Larry David is TheWrap's cover story, and it features significant discussions regarding Curb Your Enthusiasm, which aired twelve seasons over the course of twenty-four years. The improvised comedy aired on HBO for the entirety of its run.

Curb Your Enthusiasm's improvised comedy made it distinct from other of television's biggest and most successful comedies, including Seinfeld, Friends, and The Big Bang Theory. Although Seinfeld did feature improvised or unscripted moments, the series was not reliant on improvisation the same way Curb Your Enthusiasm had been.

Teases from TheWrap's article include interview segments with Larry David and executive producer of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Justin Schaffer.

- Justin Schaffer
