    I’m going to miss this show so much… Once, mid-week during a morning at a place in Hermosa Beach, Larry David sat next to me at the next table. There were maybe two other people in the restaurant. He was alone, just enjoying his coffee. I really wanted to tell him I’m a huge fan and so on, but I was too starstruck. Before I could gather the courage to approach him, he had already finished his coffee and left. I like to think we shared a nice, quiet coffee together. I think it’s better this way; he might have been annoyed if I had approached him.

    I will miss the Larry David humour. Loved the show, the whole 120 episodes of it!

    It’s amazing he is 76…makes sense to retire. He has an ageless look. Anyway super sad to see it end. It will be missed.

    The interview is hilarious! Larry is just such a funny guy. So glad I can binge watch 12 seasons of curb😂

    The show will end with a trial episode in which people will testify against Larry's character. Sounds pretty, pretty, pretty familiar.
