Fans are ‘still amazed’ over a 90s sitcom legend from a resurfaced scene of a beloved HBO series that aired for a total of 12 seasons.
The star also co-created, as well as wrote and executive produced a hit NBC series – and won two Emmys for his work on the show.
He briefly was a writer on Saturday Night Live in the mid-1980s, but later returned to the sketch comedy series to make guest appearances over the years.
The comedian is currently embarking on a fall tour across the United States which is set to come to an end later this year in December.
But can you guess who it is?

It is actor and writer, Larry David.
He is known for creating and writing the HBO series, Curb Your Enthusiasm, which first began airing 25 years earlier on October 17, 1999.
David took on a leading role in the television comedy where he portrayed a fictionalized version of himself – with numerous stars making cameos during its time on the air, such as Jon Hamm and Ted Danson.
After 12 seasons and 55 Emmy nominations, Curb Your Enthusiasm premiered its final episode earlier this year on April 7.
A social media user took to X over the past weekend and uploaded throwback stills of Larry from an episode in the third season of the HBO show.
The actor could be seen wearing a gray wig as well as a mustache as he took part in a scene where he was on a movie set in New York City.
He took on the role of a mob boss, and filmmaker Martin Scorsese made a cameo during the episode as the director.
Alongside the images, the fan typed out in the post, ‘I’m still amazed that this is Larry David.’

Another joked, ‘That’s what he looks like when he’s not in costume for his character,’ while one fan shared, ‘I loved this season. I miss this show already.’
While talking to Vanity Fair in June, Larry reflected on the series and said, ‘We have our fans, and they don’t want us to be politically correct or take into account a lot of things that are going on, and they don’t care about wokeness.’
‘They just want to laugh, and they’re not going to be offended by it. And we don’t care either.’
During an interview on Today in April, David humorously explained, ‘I’m doing this character Larry who is really me, but a me who can’t really be in society because I’d be arrested…’
In regards to the show’s end, the star said he feels the ‘slightest shred’ of sentimentalism.
‘I’m too old to really be on camera every single week now, to act the way I do on this show, how can I continue to act like that?’ he joked. ‘It’s insane. I can do it in my 50s, 60s and to mid-70s. I’m not going into the 80s acting like that.’
Larry also discussed the series being improvised rather than scripted, stating, ‘That’s what makes it so much fun.’
After 12 seasons and 55 Emmy nominations, Curb Your Enthusiasm premiered its final episode earlier this year on April 7
‘The actors and the cast, they kill me,’ he continued. ‘I couldn’t imagine ever having more fun in my life than I did doing that show.’
Aside from Curb Your Enthusiasm, David is also known for co-creating the NBC sitcom, Seinfeld, with the leading star Jerry Seinfeld.
He was also a head writer on the show and was an executive producer.
Seinfeld began airing in 1989 and came to an end in 1998 after a total of nine seasons. Along with Jerry, the cast included Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards.
Seinfeld raked in various accolades, such as three Golden Globe Awards, 10 Emmys, six SAG Awards and four People’s Choice Awards.
While also talking to Today, Larry opened up about the inspiration behind the NBC series, and said it began with him and Jerry, ‘in a grocery store talking about breakfast cereals and what have you.’
‘And we were kind of funny with each other, and we went, “Yeah, this is what the show should be. This kind of dialogue.” Which I never heard on television – the kind of discussions that we would have.’
