Curb Your Enthusiasm boss: "Intermittent laziness" might be why we haven't worn out our welcome

Variety

“We’re the kid that took like eight years to graduate from college,” quips executive producer Jeff Schaffer. “I’m not sure if it’s longevity or simply just like intermittent laziness. But it’s never been a show that Larry (David) made because he had to make it. It’s always been a show that appears when it appears because he wants to make it.” A number of shows have tried to copy the Curb format, from Matt LeBlanc's Episodes to BH90210. But those shows don't have David. “Why is the show still relevant? I can actually distill this whole article down into three words: Larry Motherf—ing David,” says Schaffer. “He’s still coming up with stories that resonate with people, he’s still coming up with stories where people say either, ‘Hey that happened to me’ or, ‘I always wanted to tell someone off who did (that).’”
