In the season premiere of the PBS’ show “Finding Your Roots,” hosted by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Larry David and Senator Bernie Sanders are told of their respective ancestries. David gained acclaim in 2015 for doing a “spot-on” impression of the senator, a performance made easier by the widely remarked-upon fact that David shares Sanders’…
Let it be known — “Finding Your Roots” is the purest show on television. There is something so innocent about watching Henry Louis Gates Jr. calmly doling out the ancestral secrets of famous people with a measured glee as said famous person reacts like a child who has been told he is going to Disney…
Since the last time we saw “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” a lot has happened. Trayvon Martin. Obergefell v. Hodges. Donald Trump. And in that alternative universe the (semi-)fictional Larry David resides in, time has taken its irreversible toll as well — he’s a little grayer, a little balder, Ted and Mary are separated (and haven’t seen…
“Hey, I may loathe myself, but it has nothing to do with the fact that I’m Jewish.” This Sunday night, the long-awaited ninth season of Larry David’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is set to premiere.

Also once upon a time (specifically the exact same time!!!), Larry David filmed an episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” in which he attended a Dodgers game with a…
One of the great things about being a celebrity is you don’t have to order a kit on “23AndMe” to find out you’re 1/32 American Indian (congratulations but you still can’t wear a feather headdress to Coachella). Instead, you can find out everything you want to know about your family’s history on the PBS series…
He left…he did nothing…he returned. Cue the vaguely Italian clown music—”Curb Your Enthusiasm” is coming. Living legend/typical bus stop lunatic Larry David returns to HBO on October 1st with the long anticipated 9th season of his show. After a five year hiatus in which it feels safe to assume that the fictional David burned down…
