Larry David Has ‘Never Analyzed’ His Own Work: ‘I’m Not an Intellectual. I’m Just an Idiot From Brooklyn’
Larry David joined MSNBC’s Ari Melber Friday night for a special discussion in Manhattan hosted by Tribeca Festival.
David, a Brooklyn native whose distinctly New York Jewish comedy migrated to the golf courses of West Los Angeles, was warmly welcomed by an audience of a few hundred. David discussed buffet lines and the absurdity of the “next-day thank you text” with joy, but he hilariously dodged questions that required deeper reflection on his artistic process or body of work — a half-century’s worth of shaping American comedy with “Seinfeld” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” among other things. David also spoke about the strategic use of the Italian circus music that’s peppered across “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” The iconic “Frolic” theme, plus a bevy of other motifs, are employed to give certain scenes a boost or lighten the tone.
