Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm ... For Jets' Aaron Rodgers?
Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm returns to TV Sunday night. It seems Aaron Rodgers will never leave the New York spotlight.
Or, in this case, the bullseye.
The New York Jets' quarterback's 2023 season was little more than a warm-up act, as he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury on the fourth snap. David, the legendary comedian and co-creator of Seinfeld and Curb, is the latest to jab at Rodgers.
The 76-year-old, proud curmudgeon and lover of all New York sports was promoting Curb's 12th and final season when he hinted at his life after retirement. He used the opportunity to take a clear dig at Rodgers, explaining in his signature deadpan style that he was thinking of taking the hallucinogenic drug, Ayahuasca.
“I’m going to go in a dark room and I’m gonna blow my (bleeping) mind,” David joked. “I can’t wait to do that. That’s gonna be amazing.”
Rodgers, of course, loves to boast about his "darkness retreats" and "mindfulness" journeys.
David wasn't done, also listing a slew of other post-Curb ambitions.
“I’m a world traveler," he said. "I love packing and unpacking, tipping everybody. I come across having a medical emergency in a foreign country where they don’t speak English — that’s the greatest.”

Specifically, David said he’s “thinking about Antarctica,” since he's been “hearing a lot of things about Antarctica — good things. Get that boat. I’ll go down there. They got the penguins, I love the penguins. ... Now that the show is over, I’ll have a lot more time to accomplish a few things that needed to be done. I might get that stool test that I’ve been putting off.”
That's likely the first - but perhaps not the last - time that Rodgers' unique mental training has been compared to a stool test.
