This is the first of three parts of a look at the comics, performers and innerworkings of the famous original Improvisation on 44th and 9th in the old Manhattan Theater District. See a very young Larry David, Richard Lewis and Richard Pryor in clips and photos that haven’t been seen in 25 years (or at all for that matter).
This is great stuff cheers for putting it up. 🙂
4:14 JERRY SEINFELD!
Very possibly. The reporter who narrated the segment seen within the first three minutes was none other than “Cousin Brucie” Morrow, then doing entertainment features for the 5 P.M. edition of WNBC-TV’s “NewsCenter4.”
Isn’t it weird how guys like Larry David become a whole lot funnier as an old man? It’s amazing how that happens and how many long years they need to do this before they finally hit it big.
LD’s voice is almost the same as it is now…. just close your eyes and picture the bald asshole as he is now
no way, good observation. i couldn’t tell at first just by his appearance, and then I heard him talk and I was instantly reminded of Ferris Bueller.
Isn’t he only like 50? That isn’t very old…
You didn’t think Seinfeld was funny?
Absolutely, man. Spot on.
He’s 62.
Ah, I was way off. He seems alot younger to me. He’s a cool guy at any age!
Who’s the comedian who poured water on the guy at the end?
haha jerry seinfeld
The comedian at the end is Andy Kaufman, and the guy in the audience was Bob Zmuda, his plant for the bit
LD looks better w/gray hair.
didn’t they have mirrors in the 70’s? reo speedwagon and styx. wtf? must’ve been all the drugs.
Wow that’s Larry David at 1:34 … with hair.
larry david ASS MAN
Paul Reiser man, I still hate him from Aliens
Wow this stuff is gold! Thanks so much for uploading!
holy fuck richard belzer!!!!!
I lost my mind when i saw Jerry ahaha
LD!
5:58 Richard Lewis!
Larry David’s voice is so much deeper and threatening. I read Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Book and it said the Larry was an agry man as a stand-up. I couldn’t visualise it, the Larry atm is hilarious angry, as in he’s angry but not intimidating angry. After seeing Larry like this in the video and hearing him, I can visualise easily him beating the shit out of someone. He is almost scary. I think he is far funnier now.
