Fun Faith Fact!: Larry was raised in a Jewish family.
The co-creator of Seinfeld and creator of Curb Your Enthusiasm began in stand-up comedy. A Brooklyn native, he was raised in an ethnically Jewish family. David is now an Atheist, a fact that made for some tension with his former father-in-laws Christian beliefs. He told the New York Times that "I wasn't making fun of my father in-law's religion. And even if I was so what, it's a comedy. Religion should be made fun of, it's quite ridiculous isn't it. Think how people spend their lives, they have no idea. They go around as if this is a fact. It's so insane you know. If I really believed that stuff I'd keep it to myself. Lest somebody think I was out of my mind." Photo courtesy of David Shankbone.
