Meet Larry David (in Video)

HBO just start­ed air­ing the sixth sea­son of Curb Your Enthu­si­asm, so it seemed fit­ting to serve up this lengthy inter­view with Lar­ry David. The talk is very fun­ny. No shock there. But it also gets into some good sub­stance. How Lar­ry got into com­e­dy; how he strug­gled dur­ing his ear­ly standup years and had to scratch togeth­er mon­ey for a can of Chef Boyardee; how he approach­es writ­ing com­e­dy; how he has gen­er­at­ed ideas for the most mem­o­rable episodes of “Curb” and Sein­feld — it all gets touched on here.

We have includ­ed the first part below, plus links to the oth­er sev­en seg­ments. For more Lar­ry David inter­views, check out the 60 Min­utes piece on Lar­ry from this past week­end. You can watch it online here.
