Larry David ‘never analyzed’ his comedy ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’: ‘I’m not an intellectual, I’m just an idiot from Brooklyn’

Ahead of the series finale of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Larry David joined MSNBC’s Ari Melber for a special discussion on Friday.
At the Manhattan event hosted by Tribeca Festival, the Brooklyn native was asked about the mostly Jewish comedy that takes place in affluent Westside communities of Los Angeles.
One fan in particular asked the television producer, 76, if he felt more Jewish being back in New York.
“Can I feel more Jewish? … That’s maxed out,” he scoffed before noting, “But I do feel comfortable here.”
The former standup then weighed in on one of his show’s favorite subjects: social etiquette.
He mused that it’s appropriate to leave a dinner party “10 minutes after dessert,” and one’s farewell to a host should take no more than “12 to 15 seconds.”
Then, when another fan asked for “Curb” spoilers ahead of the final episode, David rolled his eyes.
“Do you really think I’m going to talk about the ‘Curb’ finale? Are you nuts?” he snapped.
The “Seinfeld” co-creator also refused to be drawn into any deep philosophical musings about the show or his comedy.
David made it simple: “I don’t put any thought into that whatsoever,” he told Melber of his HBO series. “Zero. I just try to write funny shows. That’s all it is. I’ve never analyzed it.”
Melber then went into a lengthy theory comparing David’s character in Woody Allen’s “Whatever Works” with his semi-fictional “Curb” depiction, and David replied, “I didn’t understand any of that.”
“I’m not an intellectual,” he stressed. “I’m just an idiot from Brooklyn.”
He was later joined by his costars Susie Essman and Tracey Ullman.
Ullman shared that David asked her to play “the worst person in Los Angeles” — which proved to be a conundrum, since, “there are so many people to choose from!”
The event kicked off Tribeca’s new membership program.
The final episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” will be available for streaming on Max later this evening.
