I was listening to the B.S. Report with Bill Simmons on the way in this morning and he was talking to Bob Einstein. They kept talking about this character Morty Funkhouser that Einstein plays on Curb Your Enthusiasm and a joke that Funkhouser told in a recent episode. Einstein said on the podcast he had [...] Everyone Loves A Good Fart Joke, Even The Sumerians Golf Joke Mitch Hedburgh Random Joke Generator...
On September 19, 2003, my wife and I went on your first date. It was a marathon. In what will probably sound like a parody of New York dating circa 2003 twenty years from now, we went to see George Saunders read at The New Yorker Festival, then saw Lost in Translation . Somewhere in there we ate at a diner and drank bubble tea. But it didn't go well. Let me clarify: I thought it went fine. I went...
The New York Times talked to J.B. Smoove after Sunday's best-of-the-season-so-far episode of Curb , which guest-starred Michael Richards (and the rest of the Seinfeld gang) and, with the help of Smoove as Larry David's housemate Leroy Leon Black, addressed Richards's stand-up slur scandal head-on. Here's an example of how great this interview is. J.B. Smoove on Michael Richards: "Sometimes, when...
With Dave Chappelle skateboarding through farmland somewheres in Ohio, J.B. Smoove might be the jester king ruling quietly in TV-land. Whether you’ve seen him kicking it with Biggie Shorty and Bodie in Pootie Tang, or simply caught his stand up act, you know the man J.B. has a funny streak. But if you’ve seen him as [...]
Seinfeld’s Michael Richards, aka Kramer, made an appearance on Curb Your Enthusiasm, attempting to make a joke out of his 2006 racist rant at the Laugh Factory, TMZ reports. In an episode of Seinfeld-creator Larry David’s popular series, Richards goes off on a African-American character and threatening him, says, “”If only there were a horrible name [...]
Michael Richards makes fun of the racist fit that derailed his standup career on the latest episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm . The show has a black character deceive Richards—playing himself—as part of a ruse by Larry David. Richards corners the character and begins to scream: "If only there...
I loved Seinfeld and I love Curb Your Enthusiasm. Last night, as I watched Sunday's episode of CYE, I was treated to the best of both worlds. If you're a fellow Seinfeld fan, you've got to see this episode. The primary Seinfeld actors had a table reading of Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David's Seinfeld Reunion script and we gained insight into what's happened to the characters these past dozen years....
Larry David doesn’t care about transcending the real world for the sake of perverse comedy. (Note: I said perverse comedy. Larry is reaching into more unsavory realms this season.) Since the show is filmed like a home video and the characters speak like you and I, we as an audience often attempt to relate to the plots. Nevertheless, as much as we push to find the realism in “Curb Your...
Last night on Curb Your Enthusiasm, we got to catch up with the Seinfeld gang 11 years after they were rotting in prison and wow, it was so good to see them. In the show-within-a-show plot, Larry David staged a Seinfeld reunion only because he wanted to win back his ex-wife Cheryl by
Last night's new episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" — which has been working the "Seinfeld" reunion theme all season — finally got around to doing something with the painful subject of Michael Richards's disgrace over the shouting of racial epithets at some hecklers in a comedy club. Spoiler: After learning that he suffers from the fictional Groat's disease (last mentioned...
At the beginning of last night’s penultimate episode of this season of Curb Your Enthusiasm , we see Larry David, from the back, surveying the famous diner from Seinfeld , ready to start the first table read for the big reunion show. It’s a quietly touching shot, the creator of one of the greatest television programs of all time stepping back on the gridiron one more time, a living time...
