The Daily Beast

“It’s my favorite season,” Garlin says of Season 10 of the Larry David HBO comedy, in an interview with The Last Laugh podcast. “I know there are other seasons that people will like as much, if not more, but for me, the premise of (this) season is my favorite one we’ve ever done.” HBO has yet to announce the premiere date premiere date, but Garlin says Season 10 premieres Jan. 19. Garlin also revealed that True Detective alum Vince Vaughn will return to HBO, playing a different character other than himself on Curb in a multi-episode arc. Garlin added that the show will address Bob Einstein, who died in January at age 76. “That was such a hit to all of us at Curb Your Enthusiasm, because he was our friend,” Garlin says. “And we rose above it, but boy that hurt.” While Einstein doesn't appear in the season, his character Marty Funkhauser will be mentioned. “By the way, no, we don’t talk about his character dying on the show,” he says. “Why do we need that on a comedy show? That doesn’t fit on our show. There is no melancholy on Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
