‘Curb’ Director Jeff Schaffer on Obama, Larry David, and Cheryl Hines
Description
Jeff Schaffer, Larry David’s longtime creative partner on Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, joins Obsessed to share behind-the-scenes stories from more than 30 years working with TV’s biggest curmudgeon—including what it was really like directing Barack Obama on HBO's Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, creating the show's most talked-about political sketches, and why Larry’s TV wife, Cheryl Hines, doesn't make a cameo. Schaffer also reflects on the Seinfeld reunion, working with stars like Sacha Baron Cohen, Matt Damon, and Jim Carrey, and reveals why he believes Curb Your Enthusiasm really is over for good this time.
