This holiday weekend, as you’re grilling up the dogs and waiting for the fireworks, offer up a birthday toast to the master of comedy about nothing. July 2 is Larry David’s 69 birthday, and that deserves a celebration!
David is coming off of a great year. He was perfectly cast as Bernie Sanders in Saturday Night Live, he is bringing a beloved comedy back to HBO and, really, he’s just sitting back and enjoying a pretty good career.
Everything that can be said about David has already been said in the pages of the Forward. We adore him. So here are just a few of the reasons we love David so much, as told by GIFs.
1) Because he played Bernie Sanders even better than even the real Bernie Sanders.
2) For gifting the world “Seinfeld” and especially the miserable glory that is George Costanza.
3) For letting Jennifer Lawrence down gently after the megastar confessed she has the hots for him.
4) Because “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is coming back!!!
5) For this moment from “Curb” with Michael J. Fox.
6) Because we don’t personally know David, but we’re pretty sure he hates this listicle.
Happy birthday, Larry!
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
