After nine humor-filled episodes, HBO is set to air the final episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm's sixth season. Tonight, fans can finally see how the sitcom concludes in the episode entitled “The Bat Mitzvah,” which airs at 10pm on HBO.
Created and starring Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm is a comedy series loosely based on David's life as a semi-retired multi-millionaire after the long-running sitcom Seinfeld. With a theme similar to that of Seinfeld's, which is “a show about nothing,” the series unconventionally eschews traditional scripts in favor of actors' improvised dialogues. It centers on Larry's interaction with his wife Cheryl, played by Cheryl Hines, his loyal manager Jeff Green, played by Jeff Garlin and Jeff's outburst-prone wife Susie, portrayed by Susie Essman.

Comedy veteran and Curb Your Enthusiasm actor Shelley Berman received the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's Boston Comedy Festival, held from October 7 to 13. The 81-year-old actor-comedian, however, feels ambivalent about the award, especially since he has no plans of giving up his career anytime soon.
"I'm not finished yet!" he jokingly told The Daily Free Press. "Every once in a while, I'll get the compliment, 'You were a great comedian.' Wait a minute! Take out the 'were' and we'll talk."

While Susie Essman, popularly known for portraying Susie Greene, the foulmouthed wife of Jeff Greene (Jeff Garlin) on Curb Your Enthusiasm, continues her profane outbursts on the acclaimed HBO series, the comedy actress can also be seen presiding over six episodes of a new reality series called Better Half.
Broadcast on Bravo, Better Half features spouses/mates of two trained professionals such as chefs, comedians, party planners, and hairstylists as they square off in competition. With only two days to coach, they train their novice partner to take on their jobs and beat the opposing “better half” in a final challenge. In each episode, three judges who are noted in the featured line of work will evaluate how well each couple executed the job handoff. The new series, which debuted on October 3, features the Curb star as the outspoken host that will critique how the couples listen and learn from each other.

On Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David is known for his confrontational attitude, but the 60-year-old actor, who recently split from his wife Laurie, said he is unlike his on-screen persona partly because the show helps to him to live out his confrontation fantasies.
"That's the beauty of doing this show," David, known also as the creator of the hit comedy series, Seinfeld, told the New York Post. "I get to enact all these things that I really don't have the [courage] to do in my life."
