Larry's love of history returns in Curb season 12
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning: This article contains spoilers for Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12, episode 6.
Within the episode, the Gettysburg Address is on Larry’s mind because Ted Danson told him he’s starring as Lincoln opposite guest star Lori Loughlin’s Mary Todd. But Ted isn’t actually playing Lincoln on stage in real life, so that storyline was reverse-engineered for a Lincoln-centric episode. This particular choice for the subject of the episode harks back to one of Larry’s main interests that goes back not only to the early seasons of Curb, but also to Seinfeld.
In season 5, episode 4, “Kamikaze Bingo,” Larry argues with the son of a WWII-era kamikaze pilot over whether or not his dad is really a kamikaze pilot if he just “grazed” the ship. In season 9, episode 10, “Fatwa!,” Larry and Lin-Manuel Miranda have their own version of the Burr-Hamilton duel with paintball guns. In season 11, episode 10, “The Mormon Advantage,” Larry steals a pair of shoes from a Holocaust museum. A season 10 subplot saw Ted Danson playing General Lee in a Civil War biopic.
Larry David's Civil War & American History Interests Were Also Featured In Seinfeld Larry’s interest in American history – and specifically the Civil War – was a big part of Seinfeld, too. In season 4, episode 3, “The Pitch,” George wonders what the soldiers in the Civil War did for toilet paper. In season 6, episode 11, “The Switch,” Jerry and George wonder if anyone had roommates in the Middle Ages.
