Larry David

David graduated from the University of Maryland at College Park with a degree in history and business, In 1976, David met an up-and-coming comic named Jerry Seinfeld, and the similarities between their material and world view helped to cement a tight friendship. Initially, David was the more successful of the duo – he landed a writing and performing job on the sketch comedy series “Fridays” (ABC, 1980-82) where he met future “Seinfeld” collaborators Larry Charles, Michael Richards, Melanie Chartoff and Bruce Mahler, and as a writer on “Saturday Night Live (NBC, 1975- ) from 1984-85, where he met Julia-Louis Dreyfus. When the show came to a close in 1998, both David and Seinfeld found themselves in a staggering windfall of income thanks to syndication and DVD rights; by some accounts, David had earned over $500 million from his work on “Seinfeld.”
