Larry David on consultants: "Are they funny?" — humor as AI's last frontier
WhatTheLJW · x · 2026-10-21
A circulating interview clip: asked whether a consultant like McKinsey could have helped him find a sustainable way to write Seinfeld with Larry David, Larry David replied "Who's McKinsey?" ... "Are they funny?" "No." "Then I don't need them. If you're efficient, you're doing it the wrong way. The right way is the hard way. The show was successful because I micromanaged it — every word, line, take, edit, casting." The poster's takeaway: humor is the last frontier of intelligence.
