The recently divorced Larry will be happy to learn that members of JDate, the premier online dating community for Jewish singles, named him their favorite Jewish person of 2007. He beat out Sarah Silverman and star Seth Rogen of “Knocked Up”.
More good news for Larry as well as his fans, Curb Your Enthusiasm was recently nominated in the comedy series category in the upcoming Writers Guild of America awards.
Larry and his fans will be happy to learn that Curb Your Enthusiasm recently won Best International Comedy Show at the British Comedy Awards on December 5th.
Speaking of British comedy, Ricky Gervais had this to say about Larry and the show when answering 10 Questions for Time Magazine:
Brilliant. I don’t know where he gets his ideas from. He says, “When I think of something, I write it down.” He must constantly be walking down the street thinking, “That’s a sketch. That’s a sketch.” He’s great. I hate him.
Defamer reports on Larry getting back onto the dating scene:
Larry David having drinks last night (12/6) at Wilshire in SM with a smoking hot young blonde. Seriously, she was like late 20s, all done up and starlet-y. Not a daughter/relative/assistant b/c he was sitting on a bar stool and she was cozying up to him. And she kept smiling all lovey-dovey. Not a first date, but it looked like it was new. Nice work, LD!
I’d also like to extend my congratulations to Larry. Let’s just hope he doesn’t manage to stuff up his real-life dates like his one with Xena in season 6 of Curb!
Charles H. Green on his Trust Matters blog suggests that studying Larry as he appears on Curb and as portrayed by Jason Alexander in the form of George Costanza on Seinfeld is one way to better our social networking skills. He writes:
Larry David (he plays himself on Curb) is cheerfully, honestly, forthrightly neurotic and self-centered to the nth degree. It’s not that he’s proud of it; he’s just saying that’s what he is.
The fun, of course, is that David is merely more honest than the rest of us. We can laugh at him without directly facing the social pain that his behaviors cause us when we commit them—which we do, all the time. He is our public court jester. He speaks the truth in a socially acceptable manner—as comedy, with a subtext we needn’t publicly acknowledge. But we know it. He’s doing public self-psycho-analysis, and we’re along for the ride.
Check out the rest of the article, it’s interesting reading for fans of Larry and social networking alike.
