Who's a funny neurotic Jew from NY? Well, just about every comedian, worth his weight in matzo, of course. But it's tough to not think of Woody Allen when Jewish, NY, and neurotic all are tossed about in the same sentence. Who's another maybe even better one? Larry David.
There are a lot of similarities between the two actually. While everyone knows that George was based on good ol' LD, Jason Alexander originally played the character as an interpretation of Woody Allen. It's pretty obvious, in fact, if you go back and watch some early episodes.
Opening tomorrow in NY is a new Woody Allen movie, "Whatever Works," starring Larry David. We can only presume that this synergy will establish a new level of comedic and pathologic neuroticism that most of us can only dream of. Can't wait till it filters northward.
