Seinfeld ready for a new sitcom? (updated)

Jerry and LarryRemember last October when Jerry Seinfeld was all over NBC promoting Bee Movie? Well, maybe there was more going on with Jerry and the Peacock people than just honey-related promos. PageSix.com is reporting today that Jerry Seinfeld is in talks with NBC for a new series.

You have to assume that if there's truth to this, the network is probably bending over backwards to secure a new Seinfeld. Heck, if Jerry wanted to do a series about a forensic scientist who also does comedy on the side, they'd greenlight that, too! Will they call it Seinfeld Redux? Seinfeld Squared? Seinfeld Deux?

Larry David and wife Laurie decide to split up

Larry DavidAnyone who knows, met or has ever worked with Larry David knows that his on-screen personality is very similar to his real personality.

I remember when I did a scene with him on Curb Your Enthusiasm, my friend Jeff Garlin showed up on the set early to warn me about Larry and not take anything personally. I was glad he did. While Larry wasn't the worst person I had ever worked with, he certainly wasn't pleasant. However, once the series aired, it was clear that he knew what he was doing.

More 'Curb' for HBO

larry davidIt turns out it wasn't The End after all. At the end of last season, Curb Your Enthusiasm looked like it was over with a season finale called The End, where Larry David donates a kidney to Richard Lewis and meets his guardian angel. Fans thought it was the final episode of the series since there weren't any plans for a sixth season. Now there's word that HBO and David have reached an agreement for at least one more season of Curb. Filming for ten episodes begins in October but there's no definite air date set.

Is it time for Larry to throw in the towel or do you think he has one last good season in him?

Ricky Gervais meets Larry David

Gervais meets DavidBritish comedian Ricky Gervais met Seinfeld creator Larry David for a special interview on Channel Four in the U.K. tonight, setting an interview standard that could easily become a sitcom format in its own right.

The normally interview-shy Larry David agreed to meet Gervais "because it'll only be shown in the U.K., and no-one who knows me will be watching." That, and he also loves Ricky's work.

The two discussed the structure of Larry's comedy writing and acting style, Jewish comedy, stand-up comedy and comedy in general, hilariously deconstructing some of the methodology behind Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, The Office and Extras.

Larry said if he had quit show business 20 years ago, he would have sold cars for a living.

It was that all-too-rare thing: a genuine celebrity interview, with real ad-libbing and spontaneity, filmed like a documentary, but acted out like a David/Gervais script mashup. And it was funny too.

Very funny.
