Of course, we all know Larry David created Seinfeld with Jerry Seinfeld. From 1989 to 1996, Larry David was both the executive producer and head writer. However, he’s now became just as celebrated for his HBO series, Curb Your Enthusiasm. There’s a lot about this ridiculous and absurd comedian many don’t know. How similar is the real Larry to the Larry David on Curb?
‘Curb Your Enthusiam’ Exonerated A Man For Murder
One wild fact about Curb Your Enthusiasm is that the show helped exonerate an innocent man named Juan Catalan for murder. When the police arrested Catalan for murder in 2003, he told them he was at a Los Angeles Dodger’s game when the crime had been committed. However, they couldn’t find evidence for his alibi until he recalled that HBO was filming Curb Your Enthusiasm there. The cameras also caught Juan Catalan on tape and he was even awarded $320,000 by 2007 in his lawsuit against LA and the police department.
Documentary
Originally, Curb Your Enthusiasm was supposed to be a documentary about comedian Larry David returning to stand-up. However, things changed quite a bit since that initial special. It transformed into more of a mockumentary. Now, this show has been nominated for 30 Emmys and won a Golden Globe!
