                                <p>Having played an incorrigible meta version of his real-life persona since the dawn of the new millennium, producer-star Larry David says he&apos;s finally ending HBO series <em>Curb Your Enthusiasm</em> <a href="https://www.nexttv.com/news/hbo-renews-curb-your-enthusiasm-for-a-12th-season-playing-the-role-of-larry-david-has-been-the-greatest-honor-of-my-life-larry-david-says"><strong>after the upcoming 12th season</strong></a>, which premieres February. 4. </p><p>”As <em>Curb</em> comes to an end, I will now have the opportunity to finally shed this ‘Larry David’ persona and become the person God intended me to be — the thoughtful, kind, caring, considerate human being I was until I got derailed by portraying this malignant character,” David said in a statement. </p><p>“And so ‘Larry David,’ I bid you farewell. Your misanthropy will not be missed. And for those of you who would like to get in touch with me, you can reach me at Doctors Without Borders,” added David, who previously left an indelible comedy mark on television with <a href="https://www.nexttv.com/news/nielsen-streaming-ratings-not-for-nothin-but-a-show-that-left-broadcast-tv-23-years-ago-just-cracked-the-top-10"><strong>long-running 1990s NBC mega-hit </strong><em><strong>Seinfeld</strong></em></a>. </p><p>Fueled by its lead character’s awkward interactions with other well-known actors and luminaries also playing exaggerated versions of themselves, <em>Curb Your Enthusiasm</em> has been a steady audience winner and awards nominee (two Emmys out of a staggering 51 nominations) for HBO (and later streaming service Max) since it debuted in 2000. </p><p>David and the comedy series took a six-year hiatus from 2011-2017, but this is the first time that he and HBO have declared an end date. </p><p>“It’s hard to say farewell to such a ground-breaking, brilliantly funny and iconic series like <em>Curb Your Enthusiasm</em>, which has left its mark across television and the comedy genre,” added Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO of HBO and Max content. “Working alongside Larry David and Jeff Schaffer as well as all of the comedic masterminds that comprise our producers, cast and crew has been a joy that I will always treasure.”</p>

                                <p>HBO premieres a Larry David documentary March 1.<em> The Larry David Story</em>, which has two parts, is directed by Larry Charles. </p><p>David’s credits include <a href="https://www.nexttv.com/news/netflix-sets-oct-1-date-for-return-of-seinfeld"><em>Seinfeld </em></a>and <a href="https://www.nexttv.com/news/curb-your-enthusiasm-gets-season-11-release-date-trailer"><em>Curb Your Enthusiasm</em>. </a></p><p>“For over three decades, award-winning producer/writer/comedian Larry David has been one of TV&apos;s defining talents. Now, this insightful two-part documentary finds the 74-year-old sitting down with friend/director Larry Charles for a peek behind the proverbial curtain, as David gets candid about his personal and professional highs and lows, from his humble beginnings as an unfunny Brooklyn kid to becoming America&apos;s favorite misanthrope. In between reflecting on his bumpy road to success–and hit series <em>Seinfeld </em>and <em>Curb Your Enthusiasm</em>–David shares his thoughts on everything from metaphysics to parenthood,” said HBO. </p><p>Charles, who was a staff writer on <em>Seinfeld</em>, executive produces with Mark Herzog. ■ </p><p><br></p>

                                <p><em>Seinfeld</em> co-creator and <em>Curb Your Enthusiasm</em> star Larry David has made a PSA for the State of California urging people to stay at home and watch TV. </p><p>The video was tweeted out by the office of California Governor Gavin Newsom. </p><p>[embed]https://twitter.com/CAgovernor/status/1245110728199045120[/embed]</p><p>David targeted the "idiots"--"you know who you are"--who were not practicing social distancing and potentially hurting their elderly relatives.  </p><p>David said they were passing up a great, "once in a lifetime" excuse for just sitting inside and watching television, then added it may be because they were not that bright. </p><p>"Go home, watch TV. That's my advice to you," he said. He pointed out that if they had seen <em>Curb Your Enthusiasm</em>, they knew that nothing good ever happens going outside the house. "Don't see anyone, except maybe if there is a plumbing emergency, then wipe down the house after he leaves. But that's it."</p>

                                <p>HBO executives claim they do not have a contingency plan for <em>Game of Thrones</em> if George R.R, Martin does not finish the next book in the series, on which the show is based, in time to keep up with the skein's production schedule.</p><p>“Obviously, George in an integral part of the creative team on this. At least with respect to next season every step, every move is being choreographed very closely with him,” Michael Lombardo, president of programming for HBO said Thursday at the network’s TCA summer press tour executive session. “I think, certainly after next year, we will have to figure it out with George. The book’s not finished at this point. But we’re in conversations with him. We’re not concerned about it.”</p><p>Richard Plepler, chairman and CEO of the network, fielded a question about whether HBO is involved with Martin about talks to end <em>Game of Thrones</em> with a feature film, as Martin has claimed he would like to do.</p><p>“He is 100 percent focused on his books and the series,” Plepler said, “and has only held out the movie conversation as something way down the road.”</p><p>Lombardo added, “There’s no conversations about a movie.”</p><p>With HBO garnering 99 Primetime Emmy Award nominations Thursday—more than any other network -- Lombardo also addressed the conversation around Emmy categories. HBO entered anthology series <em>True Detective</em> in the drama-series categories, while other anthologies such as FX’s <em>American Horror Story</em> and <em>Fargo</em> are entered in the miniseries field.</p><p>“The truth is, in terms of the Emmys, I think it’s hard for [The Television Academy] in an evolving, organic landscape to have rules that fit every possible permutation,” Lombardo said. He added, “For me I think it’s all about intention.”</p><p>Lombardo and Plepler also downplayed expectations about star power in the cast of <em>True Detective</em>’s next season, noting that star Matthew McConaughey’s fame was not quite so big when he was cast for the series as it was when it was airing, during which time <em>Dallas Buyer’s Club</em>, for which he won the Oscar, came out.</p><p>Noting that “we decided to free ourselves from the notion of ‘star’ and lead with great acting,” Lombardo said, “I think the people we will cast will be well-known names, but that wasn’t our ambition.” He also answered a question about whether season two’s principal cast, as has been reported, will consist of two male and one female actors by saying, “I promise you it will not be that long before it’s all coming out.”</p><p>Among other highlights from the session:</p><p>*Lombardo said that he ran into <em>Curb Your Enthusiasm</em> creator and star Larry David at an event recently and asked David whether he should give up on there being another season of the show. “Nononononono!” he said David responded. Lombardo added that as long as David “is still thinking about it,” another season remains a possibility.</p><p>*Asked about the forthcoming <em>Westworld</em> series and how it might differ from the 1973 film, Plepler said, “There’s no Yul Brynner.”</p><p>*Lombardo said the network is still committed to finishing production on the pilot for the Ryan Murphy-produced series <em>Open</em>. “Ryan is down in New Orleans back with <em>American Horror Story</em>. Our hope is that this fall when the actors become available, we can actually do some shooting on it.”</p><p>*Plepler also said that the network is still committed to making the miniseries producer <em>Sopranos</em> creator David Chase’s miniseries about old Hollywood, announced five years ago. “It’s not dead at all. In fact he is working on it and spoke to both of us a couple months ago.”</p>
