Larry David was saved from serving a year in prison by Jerry Seinfeld on Sunday’s series finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm on HBO.
The finale episode titled No Lessons Learned was the 120th overall episode of the series that premiered in October 2000 and starred Larry, 76, and his Seinfeld co-creator Jerry Seinfeld, 69.
The 20th and final season premiered in February with an episode titled Atlanta in which Larry got arrested for giving water to Leon Black’s aunt while she was waiting in line to vote in Georgia.
The finale wrapped up his court case with Jerry going to Atlanta to show support along with Larry’s close friends Jeff Greene [Jeff Garlin] and his wife Susie [Susie Essman’, Richard Lewis, his ex-wife Cheryl [Cheryl Hines], Ted Danson and Leon [J. B. Smoove].
The circumstances were similar to the series finale of Seinfeld in which its star characters Jerry, Elaine, Kramer and George were jailed after failing to obey a new Good Samaritan Law.

The trial provided an opportunity for Larry’s behavior to be held against him as characters from the show’s history showed up to testify against him.
Jurors were told how Larry killed a swan at his golf club, stole shoes from a Holocaust museum, took flowers from a memorial, took a 5-wood golf club out of a man’s coffin and butchered the obituary of a ‘beloved aunt’.
They also learned that Larry refused to give Halloween candy to children, brought a sex offender to a Seder dinner, ate a dying dog’s last meal, hired a prostitute to use the carpool lane, gave Bruce Springsteen COVID, and once pretended to be an incest survivor named Todd.
Leon during the trial was binge viewing Seinfeld, which had never seen before, and told Jerry that he heard he ‘f***ed up’ the finale of the beloved sitcom.
The jury found Larry guilty and he was sentenced by the judge to the maximum sentence of one year in hope that he would finally learn a lesson.
Larry in jail showed another inmate how his trousers made a ‘pants tent’ while sitting in reference to the show’s first episode titled The Pants Tent.
A guard told Larry that someone was there to see him and Jerry showed up with good news.

‘Oh my God you’re right, how did we not think of that?,’ Jerry asked.
