This is the last season of Larry David’s brilliant HBO comedy series “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and the show is going out with a major bang based on the first episode which aired Sunday.
The episode, “Atlanta,” mocks new election laws in the state of Georgia which make it a crime for anyone to provide water to voters who are standing in line to cast a ballot in the Peach State.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
“At the end of the episode, David was arrested for inadvertently breaking state law by providing water to a friend waiting in line to vote. ‘I was just being cordial!’ David screams as he’s dragged away.”
Executive producer Jeff Schaffer noted that the episode was shot in Atlanta around the same time disgraced former president Donald Trump was forced to show up for booking and a mugshot.
“Trump gets caught with one of his many hands in one of the many cookie jars, and I remember just walking in and I said to Larry, ‘This is crazy. You’re in Atlanta, he’s in Atlanta, you just got arrested. Let’s do this!’ We had to wait until the strike was over to even be able to shoot Larry looking like our former Oompa Loompa. So it came completely afterwards.”
Here’s David’s mugshot:
