Larry David had the most Larry David response when asked why he’s yet to be “cancelled”.
The Curb Your Enthusiasm star, who will return for a 12th season of the HBO series next year, reflected on the show’s legacy while appearing at the Netflix is a Joke festival in Los Angeles.
According to Consequence, he was asked why he is yet to be cancelled for his controversial jokes.
”I don’t know,” David responded. “It’s a very good question. I don’t know why. I don’t like to think about it too much.”
He added: “Well, here’s the thing. There were fans of the show, they liked the show. And they have a good sense of humour. The fans of the show don’t care about political correctness.”
Robert Weide, the show’s executive producer, continued: “You’re just the idiot who didn’t get the memo, and I think that buys you a lot.”
David agreed, stating: “Yeah, I think idiots can get away with a little bit more than the more intelligent brethren.”
Curb Your Enthusiasm began on HBO in 2000. It took a break after its eighth season in 2011, before returning in 2017. Season 11 aired in 2021.
On Tuesday (3 May), the Netflix is a Joke festival was thrown into chaos after Dave Chappelle was attacked on stage during his set at the Hollywood Bowl.
