Larry Charles showed up for our conversation wearing a Wo Hop tee shirt, one of my favorite restaurants in Chinatown. We talked about the shrimp with lobster sauce and Charles’ career in Hollywood. Larry David has been Larry Charles’ mentor ever since they were writers together on a show called Fridays. Charles liked to wear his pajamas to work. He was one of the original writers of Seinfeld. He also wrote and directed Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes. In between, Charles made a movie with Bob Dylan called Masked and Anonymous that was never released. He also directed Sasha Baron Cohen in Borat and Bruno where Cohen ran down the street in an orthodox Jerusalem neighborhood wearing pink hot pants. Larry Charles wrote a memoir called Comedy Samurai. The book is very funny. This conversation is hilarious.
