Celebs who got burned endorsing crypto and those that got away with it
Celebrities had a shaky year promoting crypto firms and projects throughout 2022. Many found themselves named in lawsuits over their alleged promotion of since-failed projects, while others have been relentlessly mocked on social media for their involvement in the first place. From movie stars to television actors, sports stars to musicians, many celebrities may be regretting their endorsement deals last year, though that’s not to say that there haven’t been exceptions. Who got burned? In February last year, American comedian Larry David, who co-created the television series Seinfeld, appeared in a Super Bowl commercial for now-defunct crypto exchange FTX that encouraged users not to “miss out on the next big thing.” [embedded content] David has since been named in a class-action law...
Curb Your Enthusiasm Renewed for 12th Season
HBO has officially renewed Curb Your Enthusiasm for a 12th season. The news is hardly surprising, as Larry David confirmed his return earlier this year. However, given the state of flux at HBO following the merger of Warner Bros. and Discovery, nothing is a given these days. Fortunately, on Tuesday HBO issued a press release confirming Curb’s impending return. “Larry outdoes himself season after season and always manages to come back when the audience needs him most,” Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President of HBO Programming, said in a statement. “We’re thrilled for him, Jeff Schaffer, and our phenomenal cast to continue making us laugh and cringe in equal measure.” Related Video David issued his own statement reacting to today’s announcement: “Playing the role of Larry David has been the g...
Larry David Doesn’t Know Why He Hasn’t Been Cancelled Yet
This article is part of our coverage of the 2022 Netflix Is a Joke: The Festival. During an era of “wokescolds” on the left and free speech panic from the right, comedian-actor Larry David remains the same. It’s been 20 years since the first episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm aired, and David’s semi-fictional persona of a man with zero social awareness or ability to learn from his mistakes still draws an audience in the far more tense political climate of 2022. In fact, the long-running HBO series was recently renewed for a 12th season. In a conversation with fellow Curb alum Robert B. Weide at Netflix Is A Joke: The Festival in Los Angeles, the 74-year old comedian was asked to explain, basically, why his show still exists. “How have you not been cancelled? How do you get away with this?” as...
The Larry David Story Coming to HBO
HBO has announced a new two-part documentary on Larry David, which will premiere Tuesday, March 1st at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. The Larry David Story is directed by David’s longtime friend and partner Larry Charles. The documentary finds the two men in conversation, as David “gets candid about his personal and professional highs and lows, from his humble beginnings as an unfunny Brooklyn kid to becoming America’s favorite misanthrope.” David will discuss Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, parenthood, and even metaphysics, according to HBO, which describes the doc as “genuine, hilarious, and eye-opening.” “I’m a total fraud,” David admits in a trailer for The Larry David Story. The Curb outlet, for me, is this guy who I want to be.” He’s completely honest, just the opposite of who I am.” Advertisement...
Larry David Shoots Down Crypto as the Next Big Thing in Super Bowl Ad: Watch
Larry David is known for his hard and cynical opinions on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and now he’s brought that cranky attitude to crypto in a new Super Bowl commercial for FTX. In the ad, David leans into his persona as the grumpy contrarian by shooting down revolutionary developments throughout history, from the wheel (“Eh, I don’t think so. This? Is a miss.”) to the toilet (“A toilet? We’re not animals, we go outside like humans!”) and the moon landing (“It’s far! It’s too far! It’s far!”). Dressed in colonial garb, David even tries to put the kibosh on democracy when he realizes the Founding Fathers intend to give everyone the right to vote. “Even the stupid ones?” he asks before throwing himself on top of the Declaration of Independence. So sure, David’s track record may not be great — he s...
Curb Your Enthusiasm Returns for a Wine-Spilling, Gut-Busting Season 11 Premiere: Review
The Pitch: Twenty-one years in, and LA’s (least) favorite curmudgeon Larry David is still up to his usual self-serving tricks, even as HBO’s long-running sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm moves from its MAGA-hat commentary in Season 10 to COVID-era shenanigans in Season 11. The season premiere — dubbed “The Five-Foot Fence,” Jehovah bless — brings the show back without skipping a beat, rolling into these so-called “unprecedented times” with all the unpredictable hilarity we’ve come to expect from L.D. and the crew. Leave it to Larry to start off the season with an image right out of Sunset Boulevard: a dead body in Larry’s pool and the police determine that it’s clearly a burglar who fell in and drowned. No harm, no foul, thinks Larry; by the time he’s successfully pitched a show ...
Larry David Hates People Individually But Loves Mankind in Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 11 Trailer: Watch
If you thought a global pandemic would compel Larry David to do a bit of soul searching, think again. In the newly released trailer for Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 11, Larry is as crabby as ever. From the very onset of the two-minute teaser, Larry mocks Suzie’s toast to friendship. He learns that Jon Hamm’s film inspired by the Seinfeld creator has been canceled because “they hated the character. The word that kept reappearing is repugnant.” He gets into a tiff with Suzie over bath towels, and declines to pray for Albert Brooks, because it’ll make him “feel like an idiot.” “I hate people individually, but I love mankind,” Larry tells his ex-wife, Cheryl, who replies with disgust, “Oh, you do?” Advertisement Related Video Needless to say, Curb Your Enthusiasm’s upcoming 11th season looks to...

Larry David “Screamed” at Alan Dershowitz in Martha’s Vineyard Store: “You’re Disgusting!”
A reminder that Larry David wore a MAGA hat on Curb Your Enthusiasm to make an ironic point: The comedian reportedly openly screamed at Alan Dershowitz in public after bumping into him in a store. David and Dershowitz were once pals, both staunchly Democratic, but apparently the Seinfeld creator took issue with the law professor’s involvement in Trump’s first impeachment defense. According to a report by Page Six that was confirmed by Dershowitz himself, the two crossed path at the Chilmark General Store on Martha’s Vineyard. When Dershowitz approached David, the latter tried to walk away, but the former pressed on. “We can still talk, Larry,” Dershowitz reportedly said. “No. No. We really can’t,” replied an increasingly irate David. “I saw you. I saw you with your arm ...
Larry David Uninvited From Barack Obama’s 60th Birthday Party
Barack Obama is celebrating his 60th birthday this weekend, but due to the recent rise in coronavirus cases the former president has been forced to dramatically scale back the festivities. Of the 475 people originally on the guest list, several prominent names have now been uninvited, according to The New York Times. Among those left out in the cold: Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David, whose snubbing may have more to do with his disrespect for wood than the pandemic. Former late-night talk show hosts David Letterman and Conan O’Brien were also cut from the guest list, as were many former staff members of Obama’s White House administration.
