Larry David mic-drops RFK Jr with searing three-word blast after ‘Curb’ reunion snub
The Independent • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Larry David used the latest episode of his HBO Max show "Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness" to satirize U.S. Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr., portraying a character named "Bobby" who spreads vaccine misinformation.
- In the episode, David's character, Dora Salk, sharply criticizes "Bobby" for his anti-vaccine stance, warning that putting him in charge would be disastrous for humanity.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nicknamed "Bobby," is married to Cheryl Hines, David's former "Curb Your Enthusiasm" co-star, whom David reportedly introduced to Kennedy.
- David has reportedly fallen out with Kennedy and Hines over political differences, with Hines notably absent from the new show, which director Jeff Schaffer attributed simply to creative decisions.
- Cheryl Hines has commented on the strained relationship, suggesting David is upset about Kennedy’s political role but emphasized that she and David were never close outside of work and would likely have a polite interaction if they met.
