Summary

Actress-comedian Susie Essman is best known to audiences for playing the acid-tongued Susie Greene on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” but she began her career as a stand-up, opening for people like Jerry Seinfeld, Richard Belzer and a young Gilbert Gottfried. For the first live GGACP episode (as part of the annual NYC Podfest), Gilbert and Frank sat down with Susie to talk about her obsession with Turner Classic Movies, her favorite “Curb” moments and how comedy saved her from a life of crime. PLUS: Peter Lorre! Margaret Hamilton! Susie roasts Jerry Stiller! Larry David pens a pilot for Gilbert! And the curse of the “Shiksa Goddess”! Learn more about your ad choices.
