Man the LD would be tough to work with. Not because he's difficult to get along with, but because of stuff like you mentioned; how flighty/neurotic he is. HBO must get annual headaches from this stuff.
I was watching some Curb behind the scenes thing a few months back, Vivica A. Fox said she didn't even know her character was leaving the show until she got her script for that week. His "wife" Cheryl Hines also mentioned she didn't know they were "breaking up" until she got hers too. Both didn't seem mad about it or anything, you can tell they like him. It was more of an exasperated, "Ohh Larry..." type of reaction, they know how he rolls.
I'm praying to the golden gods for a season 9, probably my favourite show running right now. Crazy to think if they
do make a season 9, then Curb will have done as many seasons as Seinfeld.
