What's great in this is that Larry comes off as even more brilliant than usual due to the contrast of sitting next to Jay. I love all of the subtle jabs at Leno, too. Can't get enough.
I don't think they are supposed to be competing. As a host of a talk show you let the guests talk. You're also forgetting that 80% of what guests say on these shows is rehearsed.
Designandrew everytime I watch seinfeld now And when george says something hilarious or just his mannerisms...I always think of larry....Jason alexander did an amazing job.
I just thought about a scene in Curb when a man went to talk to a lawyer about changing his will. The lawyer was dressed in an all denim outfit because it was _casual Friday_. The man got angry at the lawyer and stormed out saying he wasn't going to do business with him because he didn't feel he was dressed professionally. I wonder if that was a stab at Jay and denim clothes.
These two comics are at opposite ends of the spectrum and it's not just Larry's funny and Jay's usually not. The dialogue at about 8:00 is the perfect example. Jay pushed his way onto the tonight show basically twice, is an insecure people pleaser, will say yes to basically anything, and comes across as unauthentic. Larry on the other hand isn't afraid to say no (It took 20 years to get Larry to say yes to the tonight show) and threatened to quit Seinfeld multiple times because they wanted to change his script, hates being in the spotlight, could care less what others think of him, and never sold out.
+Miles Finnch Larry didn't "threaten" to quit multiple times he DID QUIT multiple times. Larry literally quit Seinfeld over 10 times. He also would walk off in the middle of his stand up routines, as mentioned in this clip, and he also quit the Broadway play he was doing IN THE MIDDLE of it. Larry gives absolutely no fucks about anything.
Lawrence Gene David, you're the funniest American in my strong opinion man. You have consistently made me laugh my ass off from "Seinfeld", "Curb", and "Clear History". Every episode of "Curb" made me laugh my ass off. Thank you Lawrence Gene David with all my unstable heart buddy!................. Long Live Larry David! .
Y'know what blows my mind. These two came up together. Started out together. Doing the same shitty comedy clubs. Then one of them went on to host the tonight show and the other made one of the biggest TV shows ever. Crazy. Absolutely crazy.
The interview questions were a little strange: "Whose fault was your divorce?" "How do you meet girls?" But Larry David's answers were funny. He's right about "the bachelorette" shows.
This guy was who George Costanza was modeled after. Alexander said his job was to do the most over the top Larry David imitation the world has ever seen.
Larry "fucKing" David, ladies and gentlemen. One of a kind. He's funny even when he's not trying to be. My favorite comedian of all time. Curb Your Enthusiasm, Please come back!
Leno ~ "Do you resent your own success?" David ~ repeats question while laughing Questions like that might explain why Larry rarely goes onto these talk shows I think a lot of us resent that Leno and Letterman stayed FAR past their welcome
Larry David is more funny and natural than Seinfeld. Everything Larry says is funny, and he comes up with lots of natural funny stuff spontaneously. Seinfeld tends to memorize his jokes word for word
i wish we all only had problems like him like what to order in a restaruant and how much to tip the waiter lol. love curb your enthusiasm best show ever. come on season 9!!
I am so glad that US network tv continue to embrace Curb Your Enthusiasm for exactly what it is, the best damned sitcom of all time since Seinfeld itself.
Larry kinda fucks up when Leno asks him to describe the show, he says "I'm a single guy....in real life, in the show I'm married! He kinda gave away that he and Cheryl got divorced then had to cover his spoiler! Much respect for Larry, this guy cracks me up, pure genius and seems so genuine!
GeorgeUK84 Comic noun noun: comic; plural noun: comics 1. a comedian, especially a professional one. "a stand-up comic"synonyms:comedian, comedienne, funny man/woman, humorist, wit
Whenever anyone mentions the term "comedy genius", I always immediately think of Larry David.
+specialdefect Be concise. It's "Comedic Genius"
What's great in this is that Larry comes off as even more brilliant than usual due to the contrast of sitting next to Jay. I love all of the subtle jabs at Leno, too. Can't get enough.
It's like watching a scene from Curb
Larry hasn't aged a minute since 1990
you never age if you look like you are 65 years old for 30 straight years
"You're always wearing denim."
YES! Finally someone points it out.
Yes but WHYYYY! I NEED TO KNOW WHY!
Larry is too smart for Jay.
Larry's dog is too smart for Jay
larry david's the most awesome comic on earth. that going back to work after quitting is gold. gold, jerry, gold!
"Doing those things , and then you are supposed to talk to them " just genius from larry
Larry David is brilliant. Simply put, he's brilliant.
Jay can't keep up with LD's wit.
jay deserves a break. larry's a beast.. the synergy was great!!
Jay can't keep up with anybody.
I don't think they are supposed to be competing. As a host of a talk show you let the guests talk. You're also forgetting that 80% of what guests say on these shows is rehearsed.
He is so George the way he talks about how Bowles is such a great word.. like Geroge with Manure. "You got the Ma, which is good, and then the newer"
Designandrew everytime I watch seinfeld now And when george says something hilarious or just his mannerisms...I always think of larry....Jason alexander did an amazing job.
You mean George is so Larry.
Or Kenny with "puke" haha.
Americans!....bowels!.....
Gotta love LD
the most authentic man in showbiz who became successful
This was an amazing interview, its not often that the guests feels comfortable to enough to actually turn it around and swing at Jay.
I just thought about a scene in Curb when a man went to talk to a lawyer about changing his will. The lawyer was dressed in an all denim outfit because it was _casual Friday_. The man got angry at the lawyer and stormed out saying he wasn't going to do business with him because he didn't feel he was dressed professionally. I wonder if that was a stab at Jay and denim clothes.
Ummm no.
Larry David is almost perfect. I love his honesty.
I think Craig Ferguson is the only talk show host who was able to keep up with this man

+Miles Finnch You're a perceptive dude. You should write for a living IMHO
Larry David should host his own show
I think he'd hate that idea haha
Yeah but he would be awesome at it
Isaac Plascencia When the guest would be entering the stage he'd say: “mmmm I don't think so” ahahaha
Isaac Plascencia he would argue with everybody
lmfao. makes me wish LD had his own talk show. would be hysterical.
I love Larry
As much as I hate Jay, at least he is not as bad as Jimmy Fallon.
Pretty Pretty Pretty Good lol
Jimmy Fallon is god compared to Jimmy Kimmel
i like colbert but he n meyers just whine about trump for half the show n its gotten really boring
Jay Leno still hits it out of the park. Taste is personal. Lotsa Leno fans
Lawrence Gene David, you're the funniest American in my strong opinion man. You have consistently made me laugh my ass off from "Seinfeld", "Curb", and "Clear History". Every episode of "Curb" made me laugh my ass off. Thank you Lawrence Gene David with all my unstable heart buddy!................. Long Live Larry David! .

+ProducShuns Wouldn't you like to go back in time and watch the two of them, especially Larry, doing stand-up?
He topsy turvied that shit.
this is a rare interview from the rare tv show with jay leno
And it's on youtube so it must be a pretty rare video
Mark H. We are part of the select few of 206,989 to have witnessed such covert footage
It was very nice of Larry to go on his show. Very sweet. :)
Rare in the sense that it is rare too see Larry David give a candid live interview
The interview questions were a little strange: "Whose fault was your divorce?" "How do you meet girls?" But Larry David's answers were funny. He's right about "the bachelorette" shows.
He was trying to elevate “small talk” to “medium talk”…
u know what im doin right here, why do i have to say hello hahah
so true everything larry says is gold, its gold larry
i love this guy....
every one looking back over larry david interviews after jimmy kimmel
wow very #rare video, thank you based larry omg
i love this guy
What a legend Larry is
I don't know, I found it on the front page of youtube, how rare can it be?
Brilliant observation
great!
one of the funniest things I've ever seen on youtube--Larry David the best
I love how condescending Larry was to Jay
Larry David should write an autobiography. It'd be the best book ever written.
I had to think about it!
I love how Leno tries to shut him up at the end when Larry is about to explain the absurdity of "The Bachalorette"
LOVE Him!
Larry is awesome!!!
"Yea but he HAS to fall in love with her." Ruined the Bachelor in 10 words. So good.
mikecantreed hahaha, he's a genious... that line and "she looks like a person I could never wanna get to know" are the best
omg, Larry david actually acts the same way he does on curb your enthusiasm
historical tv moment.
one of the best jay-Leno shows of all time.. larry's enthusiasm was amazing in this one
this is why seinfeld was funny cause some stories on the show actually happened to larry in real life. many funny things can happen to an average joe
oh man I love L.D.!
I fucking love this guy!
I need him in my life lol 😂😂😂
Larry is awesome
Great dynamic.
The premise of uploading a video to youtube and naming it rare.....
Oh no, I was tricked into Jay Leno Show!
Larry David legendary ball buster
It rocks! Btw the episode
Larry David is hilarious
Larry correcting Jay is priceless!!
thanks man. do you also go around and tell people that the sky is blue and the grass is green?
Larry is the man!
he is a legend
"You know what I'm doin' up here...why do I have to say hello?: Lol!!
Larry for President
the new york season was so, so good
This guy was who George Costanza was modeled after. Alexander said his job was to do the most over the top Larry David imitation the world has ever seen.
Lol what a guy - he's absolutely hilarious :D
1:35 lol "Now that I'm here...ehhh" This would have been a much more hysterical interview if Larry just talked to himself. Jay is such a wierd DB
Lmao Jay got pissed at Larry and started asking personal questions to make Larry feel shitty.
just so funnny
Larry is the coolest man on earth.
Description: This is pretty, pretty...pretty self explanatory.
Larry "fucKing" David, ladies and gentlemen. One of a kind. He's funny even when he's not trying to be. My favorite comedian of all time. Curb Your Enthusiasm, Please come back!
The episode Larry refers to is called "the revenge". ;)
Leno ~ "Do you resent your own success?"
David ~ repeats question while laughing
Questions like that might explain why Larry rarely goes onto these talk shows
I think a lot of us resent that Leno and Letterman stayed FAR past their welcome
Larry is one of the funniest people of this time, and at the same time, one of the most annoying. I wish I were more like him.
Too true
This is the hardest I've seen Jay laugh in a long time.
i can see clearly george costanza speaking as Larry speaks
so true
Larry David is more funny and natural than Seinfeld. Everything Larry says is funny, and he comes up with lots of natural funny stuff spontaneously. Seinfeld tends to memorize his jokes word for word
"I'm the opposite of you" - that's right Jay, Larry's funny.
perfect ✌🏼🤣
Sterling observation Chum.
" u know what im doing up here, Why do I have to say hello ? " hahaha
good call
you know that everything is rehearsed, he agreed to talk about it before the show
i wish we all only had problems like him like what to order in a restaruant and how much to tip the waiter lol. love curb your enthusiasm best show ever. come on season 9!!
The man is a character of himself. I could never talk to him with confidence. I'dd be thinking to much about if I'm saying the right thing or not.
Hero

"doing those things.." Hahahahahaha
It's not called being "a comic". It's called being a comedian.

Jay actually did say "a job writing for...". Larry just didn't hear it. 7:15
I know what you mean, it's like he has no filter.
Larry has set the bar for comedy.
Larry and Kay had a Carson, Ed vibe going on there at the end.
im imagining larry as my uncle or grandpa or something... he'd be that crazy old dude that only i liked
Two greats at work!
larry david is king!
Exactly
