Joe Otterson TV Reporter “Curb Your Enthusiasm” has been renewed for Season 12 at HBO. Season 11 of the critically-acclaimed comedy series began airing on HBO in October 2021. That season picked up four Emmy nominations, including best comedy series and best guest actor in a comedy series for Bill Hader. The show has received 51 Emmy nominations in total to date. “Playing the role of Larry David has been the greatest honor of my life,” Larry David said. “In researching this multi-faceted, multi-talented man, I discovered that there’s more to him than I ever could have imagined: He speaks six languages, brines his own pickles, and spearheads a national movement to install a bidet in every home. I’ve also been told from numerous sources that he is the most generous of lovers. I am so excited to once again transform into this force of nature. I only pray that I can do him justice.”

Malina Saval Associate Editor, FeaturesThe first time comic Elon Gold met Larry David was at a 2017 panel discussion between Alan Dershowitz — famed civil liberties attorney-cum-Trump-era Martha’s Vineyard social pariah — and conservative talk-show host Dennis Prager. Following the event, Gold approached the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” creator and star, who attended at the behest of then-friend Dershowitz (with whom David has since had a widely publicized falling out).“I said, ‘What’d you think of the debate?’” Gold recalls.
“And Larry said, ‘I was annoyed the whole time. I was bothered the whole time.’ And I’m like, ‘What happened?’ And he goes, ‘I saw someone that I knew, and I tapped the person in front of me to tap the person in front of him, and he refused.’” Gold responded, “He didn’t forward the tap.”Cut to season 11 of HBO’s two-time Emmy-winning sitcom, and that “forwarding the tap” bit appears in a scene between David and Tracey Ullman, who guest stars as wonky city councilwoman and Larry’s spirit animal, Irma Kostroski.
Serendipitously, Gold, whom David hadn’t remembered by name — but remembered the “forward the tap” exchange, filing it away for future use — also debuts as the Hulu executive who greenlights “Young Larry,” the fictitious series pitched as part of this season’s arc.“That’s another part of [Larry’s] genius. He writes everything down,” says Gold.
“For him, it’s a puzzle. He puts together all of the bits that he has accumulated for a decade and figures out where they go and for what scene.

How ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Continues to Soar After 11 Seasons
Scott Huver After 11 seasons and more than two decades on HBO, Emmy voters are still finding “Curb Your Enthusiasm” to be, in Larry David parlance, “pretty … pretty … pretty good.”Since the comedy series’ debut in 2000, “Curb” has amassed a staggering 51 nominations — including two wins — with the most recent season adding four noms to its total. After 110 episodes, “Curb’s” tightly plotted yet semi-improvised approach remains fresh and admired enough to continue its enviable showing at the Emmys, not to mention a point of pride to executive producer and showrunner Jeff Schaffer.“Look, I know we’re not like a new sparkly, trendy choice and we’ve been around since the year 2000,” Schaffer says.
