Curb Your Enthusiasm star and Seinfeld cocreator and coexecutive producer Larry David on what his mother expected of him: "Her dream was for me to work in the post office and deliver mail," he says. "I thought, You know, maybe she's right; it's not such a bad job. But I didn't take the test. One day, you know, I was funny, and somebody said, 'You should be a comedian.' So here I am."

Larry David and the other Larry David are back for the sixth season of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm.

When Larry David, our favorite narcissistic neurotic, finished the fifth season of the deliciously amusing Curb Your Enthusiasm, he left HBO without saying whether he would return for a sixth encounter. David went to his office in Santa Monica, and HBO waited for his decision. He sat at his desk, twiddled a pencil, made a few notes and a call, took a sip of water, and noticed, in a mere 12 minutes, that he was bored. "I went, Jeez, I don't have anything to do," David recalls. "And I thought, This is very uncomfortable. I better do another season."
