Description
From Peabody, Golden Globe, and Emmy Award-winning writer and director Larry Charles comes a rollicking journey through modern American comedy. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from his work on Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Borat, among others, with never-before-told stories about Bob Dylan, Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Sacha Baron Cohen, Bill Maher, Nic Cage, and Larry David.
Telling Larry Charles's life story is telling the story of modern American comedy. Over the last 40 years, few comedians have been a part of so many iconic, beloved projects. Larry was one of the original writers and producers on the first five seasons of Seinfeld, directed over 20 episodes each of Curb Your Enthusiasm and Entourage, and served as the showrunner for Mad About You. His film directing credits include Borat, Bruno, The Dictator, Bill Maher's Religulous, and Bob Dylan's Masked and Anonymous.
In Comedy Samurai, Charles pulls back the curtain on the making of his successful projects, offering often sharp, never-before-told anecdotes about Jerry Seinfeld, Sacha Baron Cohen, Bill Maher, Nic Cage, Mel Brooks, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, and Larry David, among many others.
Perfect for fans of Seinfeldia and lovers of comedy in general, Larry promises to offer new insights into and about many of the most beloved shows, films, and actors of all time.
