Role<\/strong>: Writer The story of how Larry David<\/strong><\/a> quit his job as a Saturday Night Live\u00a0writer will leave\u00a0audiences laughing.<\/p>\n “My sketches would do very well at the readthrough, and then they would invariably get cut week after week after week,”\u00a0the Curb Your Enthusiasm star explained on a 2015 episode of The Howard Stern Show<\/a>. “And then one night, before the show, another sketch of mine was cut at 11:25\u2014five minutes before the show was to start. I had enough.”<\/p>\n So, Larry continued, he walked over to executive producer Dick Ebersol <\/strong>and said, “This f–king show stinks. It stinks! It\u2019s s–t! I\u2019m done! I\u2019m gone! F–k this! I\u2019m out!\u201d<\/p>\n As he walked home in the cold, he added, he realized what he had done and how much money he would lose. So, Larry returned the next week as if nothing had happened.<\/p>\n “There\u2019s a writers\u2019 meeting every Monday morning, and I walk into the meeting,” he continued. “The writers had heard the outburst, and I sat down. And then he would go around and ask everybody what they were working on for the week. And I was about the fifth one on the couch. And then he got to me and I was like, ‘Well, I\u2019m thinking of doing this circus sketch.'”<\/p>\n
