Charlie Kirk whines about Larry David and Woody Allen. Stop complaining, Charlie! https://t.co/IjgD9E8ghn
Larry David was definitely the brains behind Seinfeld. When Jerry is working on his own without Larry, he makes "Bee Movie." https://t.co/9gy8zBa2Jp
Hey Charlie you anti-Semitic prick, Seinfeld was created by 2 JEWISH men with 2 JEWISH brains. Spoiled for choice? https://t.co/KGDsLcUTWO
Charlie Kirk Insists 'Woody Allen-Type' Larry David — Creator, Head Writer, and Executive Producer — Was Not the 'Brains' Behind Seinfeld https://t.co/e7S2ltLiE4
He's wrong about Larry David. But he's even more wrong about Woody Allen, who's astonishing number of exceptionally creative films, plays, and books go far beyond "constantly complaining." https://t.co/tqWOw6NBQE
Among other things wrong about this, Larry David very obviously *was* the key brain behind Seinfeld. If you want proof compare the final seasons where David was less involved or not involved at all and too many episodes jumped the shark https://t.co/rQgk2sGd53
Charlie Kirk: "I never liked Larry David. He is not the brains of the operation of Seinfeld ... he's your typical kind of New York Woody Allen-type that is constantly complaining" https://t.co/jJS3LW4Ils
