David got his revenge with his new show Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000), where a food critic (who just happens to use a thumbs up/thumbs down approach to his reviews) gets his thumbs accidentally broken by David during a dodge ball game. But Ebert loved the show, though he recalls wincing at the thumb-breaking scene.Many of the stories in Seinfeld (1989), such as George returning to a job he quit a few days prior and pretending he never left, are based on things that really happened to him.Was a writer on Saturday Night Live (1975) for one season. In that entire season, David got only one sketch that he had written on the air, and it was the last sketch of the night.When he was a stand-up comedian, he once walked on-stage and surveyed the crowd.

| Quotes: |
I guess I still feel that I'm a comedian; if I had to pick one thing that I feel like I could do, it would be that. That doesn't mean that I like it, but I feel that's what I am.

<hr>
[after winning the Golden Globe for best comedy series] This is a sad day for the Golden Globes. It is, however, quite a good day for Larry David. I suspect the wife will be a little forthcoming tonight.
<br />
<hr>
Trying on pants is one of the most humiliating things a man can suffer that doesn't involve a woman.

Actually I walk around with the Emmy wherever I go, but I'm very casual about it.
