David: The Prophecy of "Curb Your Enthusiasm"

---

The only thing HBO has been good for for some time, in my opinion, is Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I frickin' love that show.

A couple of seasons back, the continuing story of the series was that Larry had been cast by Mel Brooks to play the part of Max Bialystock in the stage version of The Producers (alongside David Schwimmer as Leopold Bloom). At the end of the season we learn that Brooks cast them in the play as a way of destroying it. He was getting sick of the whirlwind of The Producers in his life, and wanted the show killed off of Broadway (an obvious parallel to the story of The Producers itself). He figured a schlub like Larry David, with little to no acting ability to speak of , would run the show right into the ground.

That's why this made me laugh today.
