About
Mel had a recurring part playing a fictionalized version of himself in the fourth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. I may be biased, but I think this was his best season yet of this show.
I have the episodes available to watch below:
Title | Air Date | Info
Mel's Offer January 4, 2004 Larry is offered the lead role in Mel Brooks' musical, The Producers. Larry reminds Cheryl of an anniversary gift she had promised him ten years earlier.
The Blind Date January 18, 2008 Larry sets up Michael on a "blind" date with a veiled Muslim woman; Jeff admits to Larry he fantasized about Cheryl.
The Surrogate February 22, 2004 Larry befriends a surrogate mother; Larry confronts his doctor about the waiting room's magazine selection.
Opening Night March 14, 2004 Larry opens on Broadway with The Producers and forgets his lines during the performance; Cheryl reminds Larry to cash in on his present before "midnight" of the opening.
Wikipedia:
Set in Santa Monica and loosely based on David's life as a semi-retired multi-millionaire in the world after Seinfeld, the series is often described as a more subversive take on that hit program's "show about nothing" motif.
Shot on location with hand-held cameras, Curb Your Enthusiasm is produced unconventionally, eschewing traditional scripts in favor of detailed scene outlines from which actors improvise dialogue (a practice referred to as retroscripting). Curb Your Enthusiasm develops ongoing story lines and in-jokes set around Larry's interaction with his easily annoyed but put-upon wife Cheryl David (played by Cheryl Hines), his loyal manager Jeff Greene (played by Jeff Garlin), and Jeff's foul-mouthed outburst-prone wife Susie (played by Susie Essman).
Although many scenarios are drawn from his own experiences, the real-life David has downplayed the notion that he is like the character portrayed onscreen. In a Bob Costas interview, he said that the Larry David of the show was the one he can't be in real life due to his sensitivity to others and to social conventions.
