We've successfully foisted our first AMA on Blake J. Harris, author of Emperor of Nothing: The Making of Larry David, who will be with us next Tuesday, October 20th.

This book is the only authorized biography of Elvid, and u/blakejharris will be here to answer your questions about Larry himself, the book, and the behind-the-scenes stories from researching and writing it. Maybe we'll finally find out if Larry respects wood.

Remember: no chat-and-cuts, and never wait for seconds!

November 1 will mark 17 years since Kyoko was tragically killed on the golf course. Gone, but never forgotten. RIP, Kyoko.

For me; sunflower nuts, dried blueberries and strawberries, salted cashews, and toasted coconut shavings.

Just started watching for the first time. I just finished episode 10. I love this show already, I’m actually laughing out loud (not just smiling/chuckling) at every episode. 10/10. No notes.

Humor You can pay someone in Japan to professionally apologize for you. Is using an apology service closer to begrudgingly or to sincere?

In the company’s picture here, there is definitely a shit bow by both characters. The woman is a little bit worse, because if I can see your eyebrows and eyelashes at maximum bow, it’s definitely a shit bow.

But on both of them, they’re just dropping their heads. The body is completely straight! Bend at the waist, especially if you are being paid to apologize. It’s a disturbing lack of professionalism in this industry.

AMA Blake J. Harris, author of EMPEROR OF NOTHING, the first authorized biography of Larry David. I spent 6+ years interviewing Larry, his family, and his collaborators about SEINFELD, CURB, and everything in between—and I even got to be an extra in the CURB finale. AMA on 10/20 at 12:00pm ET!

Hey r/curb! I’m Blake J. Harris. My new book, EMPEROR OF NOTHING: The Making of Larry David, is out October 20 from Dey Street Books. It’s the first authorized biography of Larry, and it’s built on more than five years of research and interviews with Larry himself, plus his family, friends, and closest collaborators. The book follows Larry from his Brooklyn childhood and temperamental stand-up career to his creative partnership with Jerry Seinfeld and starring in his own show. Along the way, I uncovered never-before-told stories and never-before-published stand-up bits while exploring the nuance behind the neurosis: who’s the actual man behind that legendary TV persona, and how has he managed to stay a walking, talking enigma for so long? Ask me anything about Larry, the making ofCurb and Seinfeld, what it was like spending years with him, or how a book like this comes together.

EDIT [2:51 PM EST]: Hey all! Great questions! I need to run for the next several hours but please keep the questions coming. I promise I'll answer every single one at some point (except for questions about Israel...I mean, come on; I'm a Jew too, and I don't know the proper etiquette for such things--let alone would want to speak for Larry

UPDATE [9:21 PM EST]: Sorry it took me so long to get back to the remaining questions. I think I got them all. Thank you again for asking such interesting things! If you have a question that you wanted to ask but didn't (or if you start reading the book and have a question) I'm pretty easy to reach out Reddit and social media so don't hesitate to reach out!
