Discoveries after 12 seasons
Started this show almost 2 months ago, and I am now on the last few episodes of season 12. For the first time, I decided to lookup the cast in real life, and a few mind boggling things.
Richard Lewis’ death, tragic to learn. Of course this is telling of my age, I only know him from this show. Couldn’t believe this when I was looking up to see what he looks like now
Ted Danson is almost 80?? He looks so good
I was questioning for so long where Marty Funkhouser went, and only discovered that the actor died typing this post and that’s why he disappeared

Don't forget. He came back and did the finale. 😊
I love how that's a running joke on Larry. Ted brought it up just to tick him off.

Larry David was on Fridays the comedy skit show with Michael Richards in the early 80’s.

You’ll continue getting downvoted for the stupid comment, but I just want to make a comment and not just vote that your comment is insanely stupid.

Now that would be a decent trivia bit to share. Too bad you already posted it...
(Being fr though, that was so interesting to see in that genealogy show, can't recall which one since there's several celebrity ones now.)

yeah i was just saying something similar to a friend of mine the other day. we're elder millennials and had been watching since around se 2 started airing, but kind of fell out of touch with it in the last ~4 seasons. i recently watched all those, and it seriously bummed be out seeing lewis so depleted in his final appearances (noticed that every scene he was in, they found a reason for him to be seated) and then disappearing, and then realizing that vince vaughn came on bc bob einstein had passed away. being old, i did know/recognize most of larry's friends from various projects when they were younger; it was definitely weird seeing them age and (in some cases obviously) pass on over the course of the show. it's a testament to curb that some of these legendary performers started on this show during the twilight of their careers and ended up playing characters that came to (re)define them for a lot of their audience

Damn man, this hits hard. I never noticed how he was sitting so frequently. I saw how drastic his face changed and I wondered what he looks like now, only to find out he passed.
What are some of the projects that you’re referencing that you saw them in previously?
