Curb Your Enthusiasm

Curb Your Enthusiasm concluded its eleventh season on Sunday night with an awkward situation between Larry David and Alexander Vindman, the former lieutenant colonel who was at the center of Trump-Ukraine scandal.

In the season finale, “The Mormon Advantage,” David is trying to repeal a city law requiring people to have a five-foot fence around residential swimming pools. David leans on Councilwoman Irma Kostroski to this end, but after a series of mishaps, he calls another city councilwoman with the promise of making a large donation to her church if she votes to repeal the ordinance.

As it were, part of the episode also revolves around a party that David is throwing for Vindman after Susie Greene asks him to host it at his house. David agrees that Vindman is a “hero” for sounding the alarm on Donald Trump’s controversial phone call with the president of Ukraine, but things get dicey between the two of them after Vindman overhears David’s phone call.

Much of the dialogue throughout this part of the show was flavored by Trump’s manner of speaking, in addition to references to the call where Trump seemed to pressure Volodymyr Zelensky into investigating Joe Biden as part of a quid pro quo. Vindman tells David he is “very concerned” by the call, characterizes it as a “bribe,” and says he’ll have the call transcribed and sent to the city council.

David objected to Vindman’s assessments throughout the exchange, claiming “it was a perfect call! A perfect call!” In any event, Vindman took to Twitter after the episode aired, saying he had a “great time” on the show.

Watch the full episode on HBO.
