Lil Dicky's 'Dave' Stories Reminded 'Curb' Producer Of Larry David's Stories (Interview With 'Dave' Co-Creator)
This was such an awesome interview and 'Dave' co-creator Jeff Schaffer (who also was a key player, and continues to be, in 'Curb Your Enthusiasm') gave some great insight into the creation of the show:
Jeff Schaffer is a comedy legend. He was a longtime writer, and producer, on 'Seinfeld' (where he is credited with inventing the Festivus pole), Executive Producer on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm', creator of 'The League', writer on 'EuroTrip' and much, much more. And now he has created 'Dave', one of the best shows to debut in 2020.
If you think that resume is wild, just look at the combined resumes with his two other college friends Dave Mandel and Alec Berg. Mandel created 'VEEP' and Berg created the HBO show 'Barry' and was the Executive Producer on 'Silicon Valley'.
How is it even possible that three guys can make so many awesome comedy projects?
EDIT: Please note this is my favorite Larry David improv moment from 'Curb'
