Larry David Just Shelved His Own Documentary Before It Aired

As if a plot point from Curb, the HBO star determined that a two-part film about his life, set to debut today, wasn’t up to snuff yet.

If you’re a Larry David fan, like I am, you’re probably looking forward to The Larry David Story, a two-part documentary that was announced a few weeks ago and scheduled to debut tonight on HBO and HBO Max. The project, from director and past David collaborator Larry Charles, features a long interview with L.D. in which he chronicles his early career as a struggling stand-up comic, co-creating Seinfeld with Jerry Seinfeld, and becoming an unlikely television star as the creator and misanthropic lead of the long-running hit HBO show, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
