Larry Charles

arranged and produced everything, as well as composing the incidental score.

Borat director Larry Charles was brought in to direct with Megan Thee Stallion, Nathan Lane, Megan Mullally, and Bowen Yang joining the cast.

Because audiences have bad tastes, this film only made $1.5 million at the box office against the $8 million budget.

It was nominated for zero major awards, and even A24 has refused to release a Blu-ray.

We got it.

Mm hmm.

The, the choice to have Larry Charles do this is interesting because, um, I mean, he made some other movies, but like mostly he is known for doing the Borat, like the, uh, the Sacha Baron Cohen stuff.

He did Borat.

Mm.

Directed by Larry Charles.

It just stars Sacha Baron Cohen.

That's, that's it.

If you enjoy toilet paper, you've come to the right place.

So this is a Larry Charles episode.

He wrote it as he did many, and he got this from a Dear Abby letter.

Uh, if you don't remember Dear Abby back when we had newspapers, so, so my, our younger viewers, there were these things called newspapers that were printed on paper that the guy brought to your house every day.

the best if he brought him some peanut butter? That would have been the best.

Hey, You know what? We're going to time travel back to 1994.

You and Larry Charles are going to get together and you go, he should have given him a peanut butter sandwich because he's George and he's so absent-minded that he forgot and gave him peanut butter.

That would have been perfect.

Like, so, so of course we know Larry is successful and that those, those qualities you described often worked to his advantage with Seinfeld and curb as, you know, a creative genius, but they were huge hindrances.

Um, and again, going back to this Gary Gilbert guy, Seinfeld never would have gotten picked up by NBC if they didn't have someone besides Larry and Charles.

So like, but even though Gary Gilbert creatively, uh, was an obstacle for Larry and Jerry.

They needed someone like him to appease the suits.

And Jeff Schaefer, who, like I said, had been this champion for me and was introducing me to Cheryl Hines and Jeff Garlin and Susie Aspin.

And Tom Gamble and Max Prost, Seinfeld writers, like all these people.

And so, of course, on the top of my list was like, can you introduce me to Larry Charles? He worked with Larry on the Sketch Show Fridays in 1980, 81, 82.

He worked with Larry on Seinfeld.

Oh, really? Yeah.

But then once I got, because I love Larry a lot.

Larry Charles is great.

And so it's like, once I got on set, it was fine.

But yeah, it was a really good, I hate giving compliments, but you know.

And for three months I was on crutches.

And in that time we wrote a story and we hired Larry Charles and we ended up making a movie that I'm very proud of.

Wow.

So thank you, Gary.

That's not going to happen.

So they actually did a guy by the name of Larry Charles wrote two episodes.

Those are the ones that they did for the Olympics, which are completely different.

But anyways.
