PRODUCTION MEETING
The New Yorker
|May 26, 2025
Before filming each episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” we held a production meeting.
These are similar in format to a Presidential Cabinet meeting. The heads of each department, the producers, and the cast would sit around a big conference table and make comments on any and all things regarding the show. Only one of those meetings was taped. The transcript:
LARRY DAVID: Welcome, everyone. The ratings came in for last week's show, and they were through the roof. Numbers you would not have believed were possible. They're saying a hundred million, maybe more. Could be two hundred million. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. Just tremendous. And so many stars want to be in it. The biggest stars—Tom Hanks. Leo. Margot Robbie, who's so beautiful. What a beautiful girl. She’s Australian, you know. You wouldn't believe how popular “Curb” is there. All over the world. And in New York it’s crazy—I can't even walk down the street. I have to be carried in a suitcase. O.K., let’s go around the room. Jeff, you start.
JEFF GARLIN (actor): I thought last week's show was amazing and I’ve never seen you funnier. I mean, you're always funny, but you went into the comedy stratosphere. When we're in a scene together, I’m just watching you in awe. I truly do not know how you do it. So honored to be a part of this.
L.D.: Thank you, Jeff. Susie?
