Larry David’s show “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is doing pretty, pretty, pretty good.

In the 76th annual Emmy Awards, the show—which often draws on Jewish content in its outlandish gags—is a nominee for outstanding casting for a comedy series, outstanding lead actor in a comedy series (Larry David), outstanding comedy series and outstanding sound mixing for a comedy or drama series (half-hour) and animation.

Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“The Bear”) and Paul Rudd (“Only Murders in the Building”), both of whom are Jewish, are also up for Emmys, as are comedians Seth Meyers, who is of Jewish ancestry, and Jon Stewart, who is Jewish.

“This political environment could discourage congressional committee staff and federal agency personnel from pursuing investigations or enforcement actions involving antisemitism,” Karen Paikin Barall of the Brandeis Center told JNS.
