Elon Gold tells the unbelievable (and very Jewish) origin story of how he met Larry David, by showing up at his office on his birthday with zero appointment and maximum chutzpah. With Eli Leonard, the former Curb production assistant turned idea-machine, they trace the funny, painfully real road from rejection to the call: “You’re doing the show.” It’s a story of chutzpah, persistence, and one perfectly timed Shabbat dinner.
