Wesley Morris and

On Oct. 15, 2000, HBO aired the first episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Now in its 12th season, the show was created by and stars the comedian Larry David, playing a fictionalized version of himself navigating life in Los Angeles. On the show, Larry is opinionated, loudmouthed and often abrasive. He’s also, according to the New York Times critic Wesley Morris, a 21st-century Emily Post, dispensing wisdom about etiquette in the modern world. Morris joins the culture editor (and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” fan) Melissa Kirsch to discuss what one of television’s brashest characters can teach us about manners.


On today’s episode

Wesley Morris is a Times critic who writes about art and popular culture.

Melissa Kirsch is the deputy editor of Culture and Lifestyle at The New York Times and writes The Morning newsletter on Saturdays.
