[@jordachejordan90]

This was worth it just to hear the Seinfeld Steinbrenner voice

[@DylansPen]

Calling Steinbrenner to tell him he can't be Steinbrenner.

[@klovenkane5982]

Lol 😂

[@CalvinG973]

“But I AM Steinbrenner!”

[@jacksonsusanka1823]

Big Stein is getting upset!

[@darkwitness2718]

Larry David did Steinbrenner better than Steinbrenner. 😂

[@ryanlynch290]

And Jason Alexander did Larry David better than Larry David!

[@todd5082]

Even the behind the scenes story is such a Seinfeld episode!

[@markb20]

Larry was perfect as the Steinbrenner you never saw but only heard. In reality that's the way it really was. As a Yankee fan for decades under Steinbrenner, you constantly saw his big ego and ridiculous firings in the headlines of the New York papers, but rarely saw the person.

[@knoxconary]

Larry David is the best

[@paddyoak1]

I recently found out that was Larry’s voice in Seinfeld. I was shocked!

[@jonrawls]

This is the first time i've heard of it.

[@iamraymondyip]

Geez I had no idea he played Steinbrenner!! Man after 30 years… 🤯

[@executenwordusers]

😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@chriswayne7628]

Now I have to get a calzone for lunch.

[@chrismoody9855]

YES!!

[@nikx1918]

Great story!
Larry David is a freak of nature!
More Curb please!

[@shuroom57]

Imagine being a multimillionaire who never has to touch a doorknob, just from being a real life George Costanza.

[@coldroses5337]

"Is anyone here a marine biologist?"

[@camerong.6144]

Pretaaay, pretaaay, pretaaay, pretaaay good

[@danthemeatman9883]

Curb your enthusiasm was the best ever !♥️🙏🤣

[@davewages2863]

Should've called Billy Martin to have him fire Steinbrenner!

[@bartmix8994]

Billy Martin died drunk in a ditch in 1989, so that wasn’t going to happen.

[@jims5922]

@@bartmix8994 I used to date a girl from Dallas whose mother was friends with Billy and Mickey Mantle in the mid 70s. They all shared a great fondness for alcohol. I saw pictures of the three of them sitting around her kitchen table completely smashed having a great time.

[@overanDownUnder]

Calzones

[@johnglass9276]

LD = GOAT

[@mvwmark8955]

undisputed

[@ronyorde5144]

It worked out perfectly It's more fun the way they did it

[@IDontReadRepliesToComments]

I love Larry because he lives life and speaks as if there's television music playing

[@glennbeauchamp8726]

That’s a Sinefield episode right there

[@shanefernandez8768]

There’s a sector of the Seinfeld fan base that did not know that Larry did the Steinbrenner voice. How can you not know that?? It’s clearly Larry’s voice, he’s barely hiding it.

[@roninkraut6873]

It made the show so much better never seeing him too.

[@Tmanaz480]

George Steinbrenner is in no position to criticize anyone's personnel decisions.

[@shanedenny5234]

Richest comedian alive. $1B. #2 Jerry Seinfeld $900M

[@anthonydooleyii7678]

It's so elite that all these years later he can do the voice better than the actual person haha... great clip.

[@irn2flying]

Great smile

[@Iccarus72]

He did that impersonation brilliantly

[@professortruth56]

I had no idea Larry David was the voice of Steinbrenner. Classic.

[@michaelchen1838]

Turns out Larry David played a better George Steinbrenner than George Steinbrenner and Jason Alexander played a better Larry David than Larry David

[@sahej6939]

It’s more iconic this way

[@00hooper]

Did he ever do this actual scene in CYE? If not, it’s hilarious and writes itself. He would be talking to himself. Hilarious

[@karens1967]

Larry David! 🥰

[@newsome47]

Big Stein can't be floppin' and twitchin'!

[@jefflebowski3578]

It’s not you, it’s me.

[@CmonYouReds1892]

"two words....hot tub."

[@gustavorojas4158]

oh I forgot that character fir a moment it was great oh and the lawyer jackie something cholds I don't remember a spoof if Johnny cohkren

[@otaviofrn_adv]

He fired the owner... Lived the dream

[@Kevin-wb5jl]

“He was awful.”
“You’ve been cut from the show. It’s not your fault.”
This is why I don’t believe breakup lines “it’s not you it’s me.”
“Ummm, I think I have something to do with it.”

[@billwood8093]

surprise to me - but the only diff btwn larry and steinny is cadence.

[@ArsTheurgiaGoetia]

how'd he take it

[@jeremylacy96]

Larry David is an absolute psychopath... in a good way. He can make me laugh in an instant!

[@vrokhlenko]

Not very prudent from the conservationist standpoint...

[@leighmcmillan6282]

They should have used Steinbrenner

[@zindi1138]

what it was so bad it was good

[@t3hb0ss]

who is the real steinbrenner???

[@KennyL93]

Yankees owner

[@weatherchaser1166]

Lefties flying in a private jet. That is the funny part.

[@gracfraa]

I think LD was the real talent behind Seinfeld. I think Jerry was never funny as a stand up comic .... even now.

[@Mark_B544]

Never ever found this guy funny

[@robwood8331]

Lieing juden

[@ronaldziegenhorn2209]

Not funny.

[@CmonYouReds1892]

It's an anecdote...

[@TheMartianMancumpster]

Your lucky were not in lockup right now

[@cc468]

I read David Portnoy at first

[@williamfrawley1175]
