Larry David found 'Seinfeld' to be 'torture,' biographer says

If there's ever a "Seinfeld" reboot, count Larry David out. "Seinfeld" launched the comedian's career in the '90s, earned him two Emmy Awards and cemented his status as a Hollywood mainstay, but he'd rather go to prison than do another season. The classic sitcom became complete agony for the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star, 79, who co-created "Seinfeld" with Jerry Seinfeld. In "Emperor of Nothing: The Making of Larry David," biographer Blake J. Harris explains how pressure and tension on the set made the show unbearable.

Kyoto Art Center Newsletter | November 2026

Hello. This is Fukushima from the PR department.Kyoto Art Center is currently in the middle of a storm.That's right. The storm named "KYOTO EXPERIMENT Kyoto International Performing Arts Festival" is heating up again this year. Work left behind by those running around and away from their desks is quietly followed up on by members not directly involved in the festival, and we are all cheering them on.✊ As for me, a beginner to the stage,every time I see experimental attempts at various venues, I am amazed every day not only by the artists, but also by the possibilities of the performing arts themselves, which are realized by being there as an audience member.
