Summary

GGACP pledges its support for film and TV writers with this ENCORE of a 2021 interview with Emmy-winning writer-director David Mandel. In this episode, David joins Gilbert and Frank for a revealing conversation about the origin of classic "Seinfeld" gags (man-hands, "Bizarro" Jerry), the inner workings of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," the brilliance of Bob Einstein and Jerry Stiller, the ruthless humor of HBO's "Veep" and David's memorabilia-themed podcast "The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of." Also, Orson Welles gaslights studio bosses, Michael McKean sends up Robert Evans, Gilbert runs afoul of Kelsey Grammer and Billy Wilder (almost) directs the Marx Brothers. PLUS: Nerf Crotch Bat! In praise of Phil Hartman! Larry David blows a fuse! "Abbott and Costello Meet Al Pacino"! And...LIVE from New York, it's the "Planet of the Apes"!
