Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm
After Seinfeld concluded in 1998, Larry David produced and starred in his comedy series, Curb Your Enthusiasm, which premiered on HBO in 2000.
The comedy portrays a fictitious version of Larry David as he goes about his daily life in Los Angeles, frequently getting into trouble with his wife, Cheryl (Cheryl Hines), his manager, Jeff (Jeff Garlin), and various celebrities and acquaintances.
The program is primarily improvised, with the actors working from a loose concept of narrative and conversation. The show has gained considerable acclaim and recognition, including multiple Emmy and Golden Globe awards.
