Trailer for Two-Part HBO Documentary THE LARRY DAVID STORY

HBO has released a new trailer for their two-part documentary The Larry David Story, which follows the life of comedy writer and actor Larry David, who is best known for creating Seinfeld and the series in which he stars, Curb Your Enthusiasm. As David says in the doc, "I never thought of myself as being funny. What do you do when you're talking and people are laughing? You do comedy."

I think he must know he’s funny by now! With Seinfeld being one of the most beloved comedy series of all time, and Curb Your Enthusiasm heading into its eleventh season, there’s little reason to doubt it. The doc was directed by David’s long-time friend and collaborator, Larry Charles, who served as a writer for the first five seasons of Seinfeld, and is credited for shaping the character of Cosmo Kramer. Charles has also served as executive producer for "Curb" and directed several episodes of the series.

Here’s the synopsis that HBO has released for the documentary:

For over three decades, award-winning producer/writer/comedian Larry David has been one of TV's defining talents. Now, this insightful two-part documentary finds the 74-year-old sitting down with friend/director Larry Charles for a peek behind the proverbial curtain, as David gets candid about his personal and professional highs and lows, from his humble beginnings as an unfunny Brooklyn kid to becoming America's favorite misanthrope. In between reflecting on his bumpy road to success – and hit series "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" – David shares his thoughts on everything from metaphysics to parenthood. Genuine, hilarious, and eye-opening, "The Larry David Story" shines a new light on the infamous cynic who remains a singular voice in comedy today.

The doc will premiere in two parts that will be available to watch back-to-back, titled, "American Jewboy," and "The Jewish Fountainhead." The Larry David Story will drop on HBO and HBO Max on March 1, 2022. Check out the trailer below:
