Just remember, everyone has to start somewhere, for those criticising the show, this show was Larry's window into entertainment, he met Richards here, valuable contact one, then he got the SNL writing gig based off of this where he met Julia, valuable contact two and because he had two TV credits when Seinfeld wanted his vehicle and Larry was called upon he was given the green light because despite him playing down he had no experience he'd been at the TV game since 1980, all of this helped get Seinfeld made.
@@presto709 No, Michael Richards was on this show, Fridays, so Larry met him before Julia. Julia wasn't on this she was on SNL which Larry was a writer on for one single year during Julia's tenure. Fridays was an attempt to rival SNL and it failed.
@@JohnBloggs-m8l I remember Fridays and I thought Michael Richards was terrible at the time. He did this sketch where he was a kid in a sandbox and I thought it was torture to watch and yet it became a regular segnite.
I watched this occasionally because I believe pain and suffering is good for you spiritually. Although Melanie Chartoff blunted the hard edge of the pain.
I feel like such an idiot for thinking he'd have the same sounding voice as he does now in his old years. Somehow I thought the croaky voice wasn't a byproduct of age, but rather an explicit feature akin to Jewish people.
@@JohnBloggs-m8l Wow! Look, Larry David on Curb always says Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Good. That was the joke I was making, not necessarily making a real judgment on it. Again, it's your opinion whether you find it funny or not.
Always got a kick out of when Melanie and the dude who was in Police Academy would break out the Helium balloons and do the Friday Edition with the munchkin voices..
@Lottoman17 I don't often comment on people's looks, but yes, she is pretty, and I remember those outfits from the early eighties, and the hair - it was a good time.
@jaaron13 Many thanks! I was wondering where all the "hits" were coming from! All of a sudden, I'm getting over 1000 hits a day! I'll search to see if I can find his original mailbag column! In closing, I'd just like to say, "SIMMONS"!!! You rock, buddy! LoL
When she introduced him she said: "Here to get to the bottom of this is everyone's pal Larry David" Everyone's pal... Now that is some funny stuff after watching curb your enthusiasm.
The only thing I remember about Frtiddays was Michael Richard's being a kid playing with toy tanks. I thought it was the most pointless unfunny thing I'd ever seen. And it was a recurring sketch! I was amazed to see him on Seinbeld being one of the funniest people I'd ever seen.

LD's hand motions and facial expressions are just like on curb. Larry was meant to be 70 years old his entire life.
He and Bernie Sanders have the same parents apparently.
😆
who wouldve known this guy would create 2 of the best tv shows of all time....
Season 9 out Now!
Curb your enthusiasm and Curb your Enthusiasm
Seinfeld
And get FU rich before he's 50!
Curb sure, Seinfeld is a bit of a stretch. That's barely mediocre
LD is more attractive now then back in the day, how can that be.
His hair was shit back then, his head looks better than his hair lol
Some men look better when they get older
Theresa Shaw now he has money spend on a makeup girl
Theresa Shaw should have kept his hair cut short on the back and sides, this shit was outta control
he's got rich, some men look better when they get richer
Larry David is like a fine wine, he keeps getting better with age.
Gross
Larry's hairline never stood a chance
Which hairline? The left one or the right one?
Bound to be bald.😂😂
That phonecall could have been a scene from curb your enthusiasm
Fatwa!! 😁
that's Kramer (Michael Richards) voice doing Gaddafi
buzz kill9991 lol yes it was they worked together here before seinfeld
Gitty Up
The famous stand up comedian?
george sotiriou the one who did that really good stand up set
@@alexxccccxbbb9952 The audience was all fired up that night.

Also Julia Louis-Dreyfuss was a regular cast member.
@@billbecker5357 So, Larry David, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards were on the same show.
Kudos to Larry, who could have taken the easy way out and taken a job with the USPS and called it a day. Like his parents wanted him to.

LD has been writing Curb storylines his whole life
He lives Curb storyline his whole life.
Funny how Larry's voice got so high pitched with age
i was just thinking about how strangely unrecognizable his voice is
In 1981 I was 26 yo and always thinking about Melanie Chartoff. I treated my body like it was an amusement park.
😹💀😹💀😹
Oh Georgey
Like Bourbon Street 😂
You could sell out Madison Square Garden
I don't know what Larry David is complaining about all the time. He looked terrible when he had hair. Baldness suits him.
That's because he's heavily balding here. He doesn't have a full head of hair.
I was 16 in 1981, it was a magical time to be alive!
Wow 80+ years and your biggest achievement is 3 likes on video from the 80s
@@MelanatedRepublican Wow, Rico trolling???
@@DetroitLions59 type well for an 80+ yr old lol sad internet liar
This is gold, jerry gold!
FRIDAYS wasn't a bad show. I watched it when I was a kid. I remember seeing this unknown band that was amazing, it was Huey Lewis and the News lol.
Who?
"I was walking...down a one way street...just a looking...for someone to meet..." one of the greatest bands ever!
Yup. The Grateful Who
I can't believe he was 33 (my age) there. I'm old
I watched this occasionally because I believe pain and suffering is good for you spiritually. Although Melanie Chartoff blunted the hard edge of the pain.
Larry looked like Napoleon Dynamite :)
Melanie had the prettiest smile
The love child of Larry Fine & Woody Allen. That hair appears to have a life of its own.
I feel like such an idiot for thinking he'd have the same sounding voice as he does now in his old years. Somehow I thought the croaky voice wasn't a byproduct of age, but rather an explicit feature akin to Jewish people.
3:27 sounds straight from curb tho lmao
like a cross between kramer and george costanza
Will Neill LMAO so true
Each character from Seinfeld has a little bit (or a big chunk) of LD :D
I never knew LD existed till curb . In my top 3 shows all time
Yeah I agree--- Larry should thank god that he went bald----cuz his look here was tragic
He’s bald here
Melanie! Fellow West Havener here. Grew up still living off of Jones Hill rd
I forgot Melanie Chartoff played Musso in Parker Lewis Can't Lose. She looked even better in that,
Greg Brosh only reason I watch that show was Melanie
This was *pretty* good....pretty, pretty, pretty good..... ;)
NO...no it wasn't...
3 members of the Friday's cast appeared on one episode of Seinfeld with the 4th and 5th Richards becoming a regular and David a writer
Oh shit! Are those the same glasses!!!
Haha! There’s an interview in which he mentions he’s been wearing the same specs since the 80’s.
2:24, “butcher boy!” Just like the mohel in Seinfeld
Fun fact: Melanie is an inventor. She invented a device that recycles shower and sink grey water for use in flushing toilets.
What a transformation that man has gone through.
If you look at him the right way, you can see through his hair to the current LD. It's like a Magic Eye picture
Seems like he's had the same glasses for over 30 years lol
Over 40 now haha
Honestly that warmup jacket looks really good on him
This segment was pretty good. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
No it wasn't it was fucking awful.
@@JohnBloggs-m8l I was making a joke. You're entitled to your opinion
@@MrAschiff let me know when you've told one, the joke only makes sense if the segment was actually good, it was shit so the joke fails.

Hysterical hair on Larry David. He looks way better these days without most of it. Thanks SImmons!
young Larry David looks sooo goofy. haha i love him.
Wow, his comedy hasn't changed one bit in 40 years...
It's gotten better
Always got a kick out of when Melanie and the dude who was in Police Academy would break out the Helium balloons and do the Friday Edition with the munchkin voices..
Wow she was awfully good-looking. And Larry David? Oy vey.
@ewolffman Thank you! I appreciate your reply!
Wtf it's just like Seinfeld and curb your enthusiasm. This is amazing lol.
Wow really can you explain a little bit further then general comment
My god! Losing that hair is nothing to cry about
"Helloooo... And welcome to Movie Phone!"
Melanie Chartoff! 😍😍😍
@Lottoman17
I don't often comment on people's looks, but yes, she is pretty, and I remember those outfits from the early eighties, and the hair - it was a good time.
These were jokes in 1981. Let that sink in.
@jaaron13 Hey, thanks jaaron13! I found Bill's original post for this link! I really appreciate your help!
So, at 34-ish LD’s hair looked like this?! No need to explain the madness..
@jaaron13 Many thanks! I was wondering where all the "hits" were coming from! All of a sudden, I'm getting over 1000 hits a day! I'll search to see if I can find his original mailbag column! In closing, I'd just like to say, "SIMMONS"!!! You rock, buddy! LoL
Voice is barely recognizable until 2:42 ish
That was pretty, pretty, pretty... bad.
Harry Johnson He actually has the same hair he just grow the back part out like that.
yeah this show is AWFUL...
such a brilliant man
what a trip...looking back on time
That's a great George impression.
@datkid72 Please forgive my ignorance! Could you please explain to me what all these references are to "Simmons"? Thank you! ;-)
Oh Lord, Gothos! I swear, I did too! She was THE reason I watched this show!
Those people laugh and cheer like they're getting paid by the decibel.
I now watch MSNBC for comedy. SNL is no longer funny. Friday Night was funny. Michael Richards as a kid playing in the sandbox was classic.
Where the hell is the one where he play the Secretary of State? Can't find it anywhere
or as the boys in my 7th grade class called her, Melanie "SKEET SKEET SKEET" Chartoff
When she introduced him she said:
"Here to get to the bottom of this is everyone's pal Larry David"
Everyone's pal... Now that is some funny stuff after watching curb your enthusiasm.
Holy Jewfro!
Haha imagine her saying that today. Oh man.. these were the good ole days
Larry David sporting the Larry Fine look.
I believe that's Robert Smigel doing the voice of Gaddafi.
My first thought! Gotta be.
@Lottoman17 He was talking about Larry David and he referenced this video and put a link to it in one of his Mailbag columns.
Pretayyyy…pretayyy cool!

I always thought Watt looked like a light bulb. ha ha...see Watt I did there? Watt?
Why is Tim leary in the crowd what the fuck that's just melted my Brain
Is that the lady from Parker Can't Lose?
Melanie Chartoff. The only compelling reason to watch that show as a 14 year old.
she's George Castanza's girlfriend when he pushed aside the kids to run from the fire.
You know, if your comment wasn't attached to this video someone could read that in a totally different way.
The Col. sounded like Watto from Star Wars episode I.
Dam they stole the entire SNL premises
I was so smitten with Melanie back then.
Melanie is hot!
Operation Agatha She may be old, but she still looks good: famousdude.com/images/melanie-chartoff-03.jpg
She has a channel here on UA-cam and doesn't look much older.
Hot for an old lady
She was the principal in Parker Lewis Can't Lose
@Operation Agatha You have no class.
Lol he's the same person 😂 love ya Larry
@Lottoman17 bill simmons works for espn, he's also known as the "sports guy" and he writes a comical sports column... he must be a popular dude
close caption please
0:52 that guy doesn't have the looks. he's never gonna make it
Did this basically become SNL?!
Ha-- this is just a Curbed moment-- brilliant.
I used to love Friday's
ROFL HE'S STILL WEARING THE SAME GLASSES
This proves Fassbender could age into Ian McKellen in 10 years time
Melanie did an episode of SEINFELD, "The Fire".
And who did she play?
she was George's girl friend and he gets caught eating a eclair from the garbage then pushed grandma and kid out of the way during fire
thanks @@beforemodel1309
All that’s missing is Jeff, Susie, Leon and Lewis.
Larry, I am sorry for the loss of your friend :'(
What a schmohawk!
These pretzels are making me thirsty!
Here after Susie Essman talk about on Corbert.
reminds me of kramer actually.
not the moe I know
I thought that was Steven Wright!
She hates my guts...I think she wants to kill me - lol =)
