> “Christmas Eve 2025.”
- Jerry Seinfeld portrayed a parody of himself
- Julia Louis-Dreyfus played Elaine Benes

Context and Aftermath
Less than two weeks after the trio’s gathering, David eulogized the late Rob Reiner in a statement alongside fellow stars Billy Crystal and Martin Short. The statement praised Reiner’s versatility:
Group statement:
> “There is no other director who has his range. From comedy to drama to ‘mockumentary’ to documentary he was always at the top of his game. He charmed audiences. They trusted him. They lined up to see his films.”
David also reflected on previous reunions, noting that the 2009 cameo in Curb Your Enthusiasm was a playful nod to fans. In his book No Lessons Learned, he explained:
Larry David:
> “We knew it was something we could have fun with, and we had no other ideas at the time.”
Seinfeld, who co-created Seinfeld with David, described the choice to appear on Curb Your Enthusiasm as a better alternative to a conventional network reunion:
Jerry Seinfeld:
> “I did think it was a good idea because I knew that doing a conventional network-type reunion show was never going to be appropriate for us. So being on Larry’s show was a perfect way to do it.”
The reunion also highlighted the personal impact of Reiner’s death, with his son Nick reportedly being held in jail early Monday, according to jail records.
