''Beaming?'' gasps David. ''No. I never want to see that word next to my name.'' Still, he admits that the experience was ''a blast,'' adding, ''We stripped away all the negative that would have come from doing a reunion show. Only the good is left.''
While this strange trip may not be the reunion scenario that fans expected, it appears to be the only one they'll ever get. ''As far as I'm concerned, we did do it, and in a better way than I ever imagined,'' says Seinfeld. ''This exceeded my expectations, so there's no chance I would revisit it now.... You really haven't seen the whole series until you've seen this, because it does add a coda. I think [the show] needed that ending parenthesis.'' David seconds the ''That's all, folks'' sentiment: ''You won't be seeing the Seinfeld cast together again on TV.''
The show about nothing may be closing up shop, but David still has plenty of other Curb business to attend to: This season, look for appearances by Meg Ryan, Rosie O'Donnell, Elisabeth Shue (who scores a part in the Seinfeld reunion), Sherry Stringfield, Christian Slater, and Sharon Lawrence, as well as the return of Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, and Richard Lewis. Other highlights include Jeff bonding with a mental patient (Catherine O'Hara), and outlandish incidents involving a swan and Jesus. Also, when Loretta (Vivica A. Fox) gets sick, Larry faces one of his greatest challenges: ''Can I extricate myself from a terrible relationship even though the woman has cancer?'' asks David.
So after all this, where does David go from here? While he has yet to agree to an eighth season of Curb with HBO ''Once the reviews come out and he's feeling good and relaxed,'' says president of HBO programming Michael Lombardo, ''that's the moment I start my sweet-talking about next season'' he's open to it. ''There's a good possibility I could do another season,'' says David. ''And if not, I'll find something else to do.'' Such as? ''I would like to meet a woman who likes me at the same time I like her,'' muses David, who got divorced from his wife, Laurie, in 2008 after 15 years of marriage. ''But I realize that's impossible. And against nature.'' But Larry, you've pulled off the Seinfeld reunion miracle isn't anything possible? ''No. Nobody can pull that off. They like you and you like them? And you're having sex? That's not happening.''
