A new episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm”? Nope, just real life.

Comedian Jeff Garlin, who plays Larry David’s agent on the show, has been arrested for vandalism after an argument over a parking space went awry.

According to TMZ, Garlin got into a heated argument which escalated quickly, and ended with Garlin smashing in the window’s or the opposing party’s Mercedes. Ah, L.A.

Police Sgt. Harry Rosenfeld told TMZ that the 51-year-old actor, arrested in Studio City on Saturday, has been jailed on $20,000 bail. His release remains unclear.

Anne Cohen was the Forward’s deputy digital media editor. When she’s not looking for the secret Jewish history of Voodoo in New Orleans, or making lists about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she writes for The Assimilator. She graduated from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism with an M.S. magazine concentration in 2012.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
