‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Cast on Why They Forced Larry David to Let Them Read the Show’s Outlines


Awards Circuit Podcast: Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, JB Smoove and Cheryl Hines. Also, the Roundtable tackles hot Emmy topics — like 'Baby Reindeer.'

When “ Curb Your Enthusiasm ” began its run on HBO all the way back in 2000, creator/star Larry David had a very specific rule: He wouldn’t let the show’s cast read the episodic outlines. On this episode of the award-winning Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, we talk to “Curb Your Enthusiasm” stars Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, JB Smoove and Cheryl Hines about the end of the landmark HBO series and their lasting memories from their time with Larry David. The group noted that “Curb” was hit hard by the loss of Bob Einstein, who had played Marty Funkhouser, and more recently with the death of Richard Lewis — who is seen throughout the final season.
