‘I Don’t Even Like the Theater!’ Fish in the Dark’s Larry David Talks Broadway Debut

Seinfeld co-creator Larry David is making his Broadway debut in his self-penned Fish in the Dark this spring, and he sounds thrilled. “I really got myself in a pickle,” he told David Letterman on January 15’s Late Show. “It’s a big, sour pickle and I can’t get out of it!” The Emmy winner has all sorts of reasons why he’s concerned: “I’m not an actor!” “I don’t even like the theater!” “I’m not gonna be able to remember my lines!” “I’m doing it to get laid!” Check out the hysterical interview below, in which they also discuss the silver lining of starring on Broadway: hotel sex. You can catch (a hopefully more unfazed) David, along with Rosie Perez, Jayne Houdyshell, Jonny Orisini, Rita Wilson and more, in Fish in the Dark beginning February 2 at the Cort Theatre.
