A Comic Genius at Work: How Larry David Creates Curb

Posted: 31 May 2010 04:53 PM PDT

How does Larry David do it?

Curb Your Enthusiasm, David's semiautobiographical sitcom, brilliantly blends spontaneity, social commentary, and intricate plotlines that resolve with the precision of a typical Seinfeld episode. The comparison makes sense, since David co-created that show too.
