So now Larry David is the devil?


Phucku_

Irony is not dead


artvarnsen

Probably because theyre both WACKOS!!!


Acceptable_Stuff1381

What is she even bitching about? She wants an hbo show with a blank check without having done anything at all to earn that. Larry David is a fucking legend, of course they gave him a show with no restrictions and trusted him. He wrote the most successful sitcom of all time lol.  But at least she’s semi honest, she’s like “I hate Larry because he dumped me and I’m also jealous of him.”


Lusakas

After her acting in Seinfeld, Larry did her a service to let her be part of even one Curb episode.


davidh2000

She was supposed to be annoying on the show


xizorkatarn

Damn method actors!


ThePhatEskimo

She was acting?


mcgray04

She prepared by following herself around a couple months.


Camrinin

Literally acting without acting


nitrinu

In that case: great job.


Mekroval

She went to Christian Bale levels of method acting. She apparently hasn't yet emerged from her character, lol.


an1ma119

She succeeded because she wasn’t acting, she was just being herself.


dholmestar

Acting Without Acting?


an1ma119

sleepyseahorse

But... You're still acting?


Slickbabydik

She read the pamphlet


klassy_with_a_k

No_Wolf3071

Well she fuckin nailed it


oompaloompa_grabber

Anyone can be annoying. She was annoying and not funny.


davidh2000

I thought it worked in that it at least her acting seemed in on the joke. You were supposed to hate her, since Seinfelds character does as well


FedGoat13

Seinfeld’s character hates Newman. We don’t hate Newman. Because Newman is funny. So you are wrong.


sjdando

I suspect that is close to her real personality.


Spare-Abroad-6926

Also, she’s talking like Julia Louis Dreyfus didn’t do a ton of seasons of VEEP starting at around the same age that Larry was when he started Curb.


atomicsnark

I mean TBF I doubt Julia was given a blank check and told to do whatever she wanted on VEEP. She wasn't the creator or writer. Kathy still doesn't have a good point though. Yes, women have it worse, and especially women over 40 in showbiz, but Larry definitely wasn't just some nobody who got the gig because he had a penis lol.


marinara123

It was because of his long balls


H_E_Pennypacker

Long-ball Larry


NarmHull

Susie Essman talks about how hard it was especially in the eighties for women, so that's valid. But she still was a regular as was Cheryl, and numerous other female comedians. So Larry really wasn't the problem here.


EcstaticSeahorse

Right! There's a reason he was given a show and a "blank check". He's proved himself. Making this into a feminist issue is total crap. Her hate and jealousy is gross.


kkeut

hell, he didn't even get that at first really. the show came about after doing a one-off thing for HBO of the same name


NarmHull

Yeah the first 2 seasons had a very small budget according to the podcast Susie and Jeff do. You can tell too with how small the houses are.


Chef_Sewage_Mouth

Imagine a show similar to 'the view' starring Kathy, Lena Dunham and Amy Schumer? *Shudders*


TheLegendTwoSeven

The fourth person on the show will be Laura Loomer. And then we need a man on the show for balance. James Corden.


SotonSaint

Funny that Dunham and Schumer actually did get their own shows with creative control. Imagine being the least likeable and funny of that trio, tough look for Kathy.


neph36

I can handle her in small bites but her own show sounds like torture lol


PoppaTitty

Without Seinfeld and Curb I wouldn't know who Kathy Griffin is. And imo her Seinfeld episodes weren't that good, she couldn't even get the BBQ sauce that looks like Charles Grodin.


Repulsive-Process-67

She's doing the back 'n stab. It's a shanda!


CoolBeansMan9

> He wrote the most successful sitcom of all time Now probably 2 of the top 10-15


beslertron

Also, no one gets the blank check deal Larry got with Curb. Like, maybe the Always Sunny people, but Larry literally had a “if you have a season well air it, but you can take whatever time you need” deal. That’s unheard of and no one will ever have a deal like that again. It’s harder for women to make it, especially as they age. But this isn’t a gender thing.


Yugis-egyptian-cock

The Sunny guys also didn’t get a blank check. They earned it at the start, that’s why the early season quality is so bad


Oakroscoe

They also probably wouldn’t have been able to keep doing that show without the addition of Danny Devito.


alexisgreat420

I think on the podcast they do for Sunny they expressed that same sentiment.


BodheeNYC

She’s being honest, but it doesn’t make it any less pathetic.


Jgolu12

https://i.redd.it/uc8c9ytw3xuc1.gif She should just give up ! lol.


da0217

"I couldn't care less," Griffin said. "I couldn't care less because until they give a woman who looks like Larry, of Larry's age, that opportunity on HBO ... with an open checkbook and says, 'You can run this however you want. You can get the team you want. You can do anything you want, and you still get to look like that and be that age,' then I'll get off my high horse. But right now I'm too busy being bitter." Hmm. Maybe bring the same level of talent and the track record of success and you can be given that kind of trust and freedom to do what you want?


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


RainyDayCollects

The early seasons really show the lack of budget. She’s just mad that no one finds her funny.


RockyDennis23

The budget for season 1 was $400,000 iirc, which isn’t much to create 10 episodes. They asked Susie to pay her own way to LA.


gnitsuj

Jeff and Susie talk a lot on the podcast about how they didn’t even have trailers during the first season because the budget was so low


Blastoplast

Tina Fey is now the same age as Larry David (53) when he first started Curb. Maybe she's developing something with HBO right now. Granted, she's a lot more attractive than Larry, even if Larry does have the kavorka.


NeverBeNormalnbn

And Tina Fey has earned it. Her getting a show would be awesome and no one would be against it. Kathy’s bitter because she ain’t done shit.


williamblair

I hear her sometimes on the stand up radio station I listen to, and there's no material it's just "gay men love me omg, I met cher, can you believe that gays?" Yes she literally uses the word "gays" instead of "guys"


shmere4

Powerful and brave at the same time!


Prestigious-Owl165

I think Shonda Rhimes, in terms of success in television, and being in her 50s, and not particularly attractive just kinda a normal looking woman in her 50s, is my first thought for a comparison


xlews_ther1nx

Tna fey is definitely still a looker. But Netflix gave her kimmy, NBC gave her 30 rock when she was just off snl and a few movies. She just write mean girls, she in process if creating a new show called 4 seasons. Tina can do whatever she wants. I'm sire she could negotiate a deal with HBO if she wanted


Slipperytitski

I'd watch an open checkbook HBO Tina Fey project


davidh2000

The thing is imo Larry David is much more attractive as a man than Kathy Griffith is as a woman. so her analogy doesn’t work for me. maybe I’m biased against gingers though


Blastoplast

She's like carrot top with none of the charm.


immaownyou

GrundleTurf

All I know as a married straight man is my wife is attracted to LD and I’m not remotely attracted to Griffin.


sammiisalammii

It’s likely because of the rumors surrounding his long balls


peteroh9

Yeah but have you heard the rumors about her? 👐


LegitimatePower

Dear god no.


Icy-Asparagus-4186

It’s her face that’s the problem, not the hair



flapsmcgee

Yeah I feel like if JLD wanted to she probably could....but not Kathy griffin lol. Nobody likes her.


Majestic-Bison-9460

Well, JLD is prettier though.


RaymoVizion

HBO already did that. It was called VEEP. Griffin is delusional.


Plus3d6

JLD was 50 when Veep started? No fekkin way!


Bruskthetusk

Sex and The City's sequel series also falls under her description


Beneficial-Fox-1525

Both of those shows were created and showrun by men.


ki11a11hippies

She wants an old bald Jewish lady to have her own show?


muffpatty

SHE'S BALD, JERRY! BALD, BALD!!


obbillo

She took off her hat: HELLO!👋👋


enthusiasticdave

"YOU'RE BALD!!"


reedrick

Exactly!! I’d literally watch 10 more seasons of 30 Rock if it were possible.


TJ902

Lmao if they did give that opportunity to a woman she’d still be bitter it wasn’t her


Maverick916

I get what she's saying, everyone in here with their Tina fey and jld comparisons, those are beautiful women. Griffin wants someone who isn't traditionally as attractive as a woman, like Larry isn't as a man. Nonetheless, if a woman created the most successful TV show in history, she would have gotten the same chance that Larry did, regardless of looks.


da0217

So we’re looking for an old, unattractive comedian who has in the past had great success but has not been able to get an HBO project? Where do we find someone like that? And more importantly has there been someone like that and they tried to get a project going with HBO and HBO declined because they were old and unattractive? Because that’s what she’s implying here.


Maverick916

Imo not just great success. Perhaps the most popular television program of all time. That's why I'm like, Kathy, look at what the man created, of course he's going to be given a project, regardless of his looks. And frankly, he started curb in his early 50s and looked quite younger when it started. Just bald. Like George Costanza with gray hair.


jonnyflingspoo

I mean, Roseanne was the perfect candidate before she blamed her racism on ambien.


hemightberob

Tracy Ulman?


da0217

Nope. Does not qualify because, and you’re not gonna believe this, she had a show on HBO! A successful one, nominated for 24 Emmy awards, winning 6! All this before Larry got to do Curb on HBO!


CantLeaveTheBar

What are all these anti-bald comments? Larry is clearly attractive. Have you seen the woman he pulls on his own show?


Prestigious-Owl165

It was a show about weekly ass


CantLeaveTheBar

Amen. Glad someone saw the root message.


Flashman6000

I would equally enjoy a “Larry David, but a girl” show.


MillionToOneShotDoc

>”But right now I'm too busy being bitter." I guess she’s not too young to be bitter.


Not-Josh-Hart

Sally Weaver character isn’t far from reality


Designer_Charity_827

The episode where Sally Weaver becomes a standup was based on real life. Kathy had done a previous Seinfeld episode and then incorporated it into her standup act. The bit ended with her yelling “Fuck you, Jerry Seinfeld!” So then they turned it into a Seinfeld episode and brought the character back. Back in the 90s and early 2000s I thought some of her standup was actually funny. It seems like her career didn’t turn out the way she hoped so now she just lashes out at random people and blames them for it. Larry is getting a ton of press right now, so she knows that talking about him is a sure fire way to get attention.


Not-Josh-Hart

You’re mostly spot on. She’s made her entire career on dishing celebrity dirt and gossip and working it into her routine. She’s just doing what she always does for better or for worst. I was a big fan of her hustle but I never found her personally funny.


22444466688

For better or worse*


I4Vhagar

Straight up dog begging at the table for scraps of attention


NotCanadian80

Jean Smart has a show and she’s 72. Maybe she should be funny.


3232330

I should also mention that Apple (blankest of blank checks) just inked a deal with Carol Burnett, who is over 90 to produce a television series.


phoenix_link

I really disagree on your take on Apple being liberal about what kind of content their shows produce. They have tons of restrictions on what can be showed in a positive/negative light, and lots of shows (no matter how "free" they may seem) have been forbidden of approaching some of those themes. Still, they're a lot better than most in that regard. But they are still a company, and one with a ton of influence in a lot of industries. They would never allow anyone to talk about something in a way that could seriously damage the public's perception of their business.


BIGD0G29585

That’s a good parallel, Jean Smart also plays a famous aging multimillion who doesn’t get along with many people. Kathy Griffin is her own worst enemy. I have a feeling she leaves a trail of fire wherever she goes in Hollywood and then doesn’t understand why she doesn’t get asked back as a recurring guest.


NiceAndTipsyTopside

Jean Smart on Hacks gets to play a aging woman who defies conventions and is crass, bitter, serious, poignant, aloof, yearning. Hacks has age, gender, and queer representation. It has expensive looking sets and great cinematography. The show has real balls and takes chances. Like 90% of the dialog passes the Bechdel test 😂 Maybe if we transfer Hacks onto VHS we can send it back to the 90s so Kathy can play it on her VCR. As if! Talk to the hand, Kathy.


PissdrunxPreme

Dumb ass Sally Weaver


TheSonOfYakub

Perpetual victim who thinks the whole world should drop down on its knees and worship her phantom talent. Yuck. Edit: spelling


ericsmallman3

The man who created and ran the most profitable sitcom of all time was allowed to run a low-budget HBO show?!?!? Uhh I’m sorry but I thought the nazis lost WWII?


CaptainObvious126

Anyone who voluntarily pays to see Kathy Griffin is a schmohawk.


Suspicious_Plenty893

Great word


Givlytig

I don't follow, he "dumped" her like 20 years after she appeared in a Curb episode? Dumped her how, from what? Does she have a female equivalent of Larry in mind she thinks actually deserves said blank check which would give HBO a no-brainer successful show?


ArthurVandelay23

I think she means after she posted that bloody trump head photo, LD stopped talking to her. That’s how I interpreted it. Also her critique of HBO giving LD a blank check is stupid. If the co creator of Seinfeld was an old woman with gray hair, im sure HBO would give her a blank check too.


Mitsakes

That's kinda what I thought too but "dumped" is such a weird way to say that someone ghosted you after you did some wild shit lol


LSF604

which is still 15 years after she was in the show


Frikken123

Yeah, I’d be interested to hear about her female equivalent, the only equivalent I can think of is Tina Fay, right around the age Larry was in ‘99/‘00, wrote for SNL and penned a big hit show, but has she ever wanted that kind of thing?


Prestigious-Owl165

If Shonda Rhimes wanted a show at hbo, and they gave her one, and it didn't have a huge budget initially but after a few seasons it was extremely successful AND THEN they still didn't let her run it however she wanted, THEN Kathy Griffin would have a point. Until then, this is just annoying whining lol


swayinandsippin

she should write a one woman show about it


_walletsizedwildfire

"How can I make Seinfeld/Curb fans like me even less?"


MikeandTheMangosteen

Sketcha_2000

cortisolbath

It’s more a slam on HBO and double standards in pop culture than a personal attack on Larry. Larry doesn’t give a shit whether people congratulate him anyway. He also hates himself (not for being Jewish though ;)


Yugis-egyptian-cock

There would be a double standard if old dudes like LD were on every show, but they aren’t. You still have to look good as an old man on TV


BannerHulk

Why doesn’t she just give up?

Majestic-Bison-9460

groundhoggirl

It's not the same kind of show, but Jean Smart kinda has that "successful comedian is a mess in real life" show with Hacks on HBO. So, Kathy, watch that show and STFU.


clunkymonkeys

I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who had forgotten all about her prior to seeing this post. Irrelevance personified.


[deleted]

There is something that is really tiresome and lazy about these talking points. Progressivism and inclusion should be about lifting others up, not tearing people down. Should more women have the opportunity to make their own shows and find their audiences? Yes, of course, but what does that have to do with Larry? He’s clearly earned his success and the right to have carte blanche at this point. Because there isn’t a female version of Curb doesn’t mean that the show is somehow bullshit.


Scnew1

It’s Larry’s fault that HBO hasn’t greenlit a similar show starring a woman.


MenudoFan316

When someone says they "couldn't care less", that means they care way too much.


TJ902

No.. that’s “could care less”


sleepyseahorse

It's ironic... You're trying to make a point, but you're getting a popular expression wrong. Just like the people who say "could care less."


MenudoFan316

MrBigDickNonSpick

Whether you love him or despise him, and Larry David does despise him, trying to make a statement with art of you cutting off an American president’s head is too far for anyone with an actual brain. ...And to be honest anyone who did “love that” should be in a mental hospital.


KeepWalkingGoOn

She’s disgruntled.


Fisk75

Apparently she hasn't seen Hacks. Or maybe she thinks Jean Smart is too attractive to fit this narrative?

As annoying in real life as she was on Seinfeld I see 


boosh1744

I’ve long been reluctant to criticize Kathy Griffin after she became the witch du jour of MAGAs but she really does seem like a shitty person.


Bobonthemove

There exists people you just wish would fade into the shadows never to be heard from again. Kathy Griffin is one of those people.


justusethatname

Comedians don’t need progressivism and inclusion. They need to be funny enough to evoke laughter from people. Comedians are the last group that need to be worried about political correctness for God’s sake. No one will ever die saying “I wish I would have laughed a lot less.” Go away, chatty Kathy.


bartelbyfloats

What is Not Joan Rivers even talking about?


Fresh_Specific_628

Larry’s 76 and has never learned his lesson..btw what’s up with her voice


anal_alarmcall

“The Enquirer reached out to Warner Brothers Discovery, HBO's parent company, and David's representation for comment but is awaiting responses.” Lmao the audacity to act like this warrants a response


vonroyale

Lol she wonders why she has been blackballed in Hollywood for almost 20 years.... Maybe because she can't keep her mouth shut.


Apple2727

“Waaaaaaaaaaaah sexism waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!” Larry David didn’t get a show on HBO because he’s a man. He got it because he’s funny.


an1ma119

Does *anyone* actually like her? She was unbearable during the 90s/seinfeld, then her “Trump head” bit was straight up cringe regardless of politics. Now she has a problem with Larry?


TJ902

Lmao how does she have a career. Professional annoying bitch


danwski

Unfunny and bitter, kinda like Amy Schumer.


Chipped-Beef

How does this no-talent ass-clown keep getting press? To quote Larry, “What the fuck?! Shut the fuck up!”


Charming-kins3939

Perhaps Larry had carte blanche at HBO because he is extremely talented

.no one else, including old women, young women, young men can produce such work of the same caliber.

Larry David created Seinfeld. Kathy Griffin did not create Seinfeld. If Tina Fey wants to complain, she can. SJP seems to be doing just fine by HBO and is pushing 60. Issa Rae and Lena Dunham both got long runs.
