Emily Rasch Eric Rasch Biography & Facts

"No Lessons Learned" is the series finale of the American television sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm. It is the tenth episode of the twelfth season and the 120th episode overall of the series. The episode's story was written by series creator and star Larry David and executive producer Jeff Schaffer; the episode, instead, was directed by Schaffer. The episode first aired on HBO in the United States on April 7, 2024, and was also available on Max on the same date. The series stars Larry David as a fictionalized version of himself. It follows David's life as a semi-retired television writer and producer in Los Angeles and his misadventures in his daily life. The season saw Larry facing a trial after violating the Election Integrity Act of 2021 in Atlanta. In the final episode, Larry's trial begins and he faces his past catching up to him. The episode mirrors the final episode of Seinfeld. The series finale received critical acclaim, and the series was commended for its references and ending. In addition, it also features the final appearance of Richard Lewis who died shortly after the airing of the episode "Disgruntled". Plot Larry (Larry David), Leon (J. B. Smoove), Jeff (Jeff Garlin) and Susie (Susie Essman) head to Atlanta for Larry's trial. On the plane, Larry is scolded for not switching off his phone, and immediately snitches on Leon and Jeff amidst the argument. Arriving in Atlanta, Larry is blocked from entering an exit by a woman on the I-85 road. At a hotel, Larry is accidentally hit with a ball by a child, and the mother tries to force her son to apologize to him. Larry is annoyed by the situation, and tells the boy that he never learned a lesson in his life. While talking with Richard Lewis, Larry is dismayed when he finds that Richard's date, Cynthia (Allison Janney), is the same woman from I-85, although Cynthia claims she was never there. Before the trial, Larry follows Cynthia, after hearing that she told Richard that she attempted suicide after Richard broke up with her. He is even more suspicious when Cynthia cannot fully detail her suicide attempt, upsetting Richard for interfering in his life. Larry and his lawyer, Sibby Sanders (Sanaa Lathan) arrive at the trial, with some protesters supporting him outside, one of whom is Ted Danson. At the trial, District Attorney Earl Mack (Greg Kinnear) points Larry as a danger to society for his actions, while Sibby uses her testimony to challenge the Election Integrity Act of 2021. During her testimony, Larry is annoyed by a fly and kills it in front of the jurors. Mack calls many character witnesses to testify. The first is Mocha Joe (Saverio Guerra), who brings up the time Larry insulted him and opened a spite store next to his business, also accusing him of burning it down. The next witness is Matsue Takahashi (Dana Lee), who relates how Larry hit Troy Kotsur with a golfball, and also killed Kyoko, Takahashi's black swan. The next witness is Alexander Vindman, who accuses Larry of bribing a councilwoman. That night, Larry and Jeff manage to obtain the secret recipe for a salad dressing from Auntie Rae (Ellia English), which Jeff gives to Susie for their anniversary. As he discusses the case with his friends, Larry receives advice from Leon; he must draw compassion from the jury to win them over. The following day, Susie enters the court room as a wheelchair-bound lover of Larry, with Larry faking good deeds to improve his image. Mack then brings Rachel Heinemann (Iris Bahr), who relates how Larry forced her to jump off a ski lift due to her strict observance of her Orthodox Judaism. Another witness is Maureen (Jillian Bell), who states Larry urinated on her portrait of Jesus. More include the maitre'd from Katsuya (Sonny Saito), who complains over Larry yelling as a greeting to two chefs; Irma (Tracey Ullman), who reveals that Larry stole a pair of shoes from an exhibit at the Holocaust Museum LA; Bruce Springsteen, who accuses Larry of ruining his tour by giving him COVID-19; and Tara Michaelson (Bailey Thompson), who claims that Larry had an erection while she hugged him as a child. Sibby summons Rae to support Larry, but she angrily goes on a tirade by calling Larry and Jeff out for stealing her recipe. Realizing this is where her gift came from, Susie ends the charade and walks out of the room. The case is withheld until the following day, but Larry is losing support. At a bar, Larry runs into Jerry Seinfeld. The following day, Larry testifies, and acts compassionate by claiming he just wanted to help Rae as there was nothing to cover her from the sun. Mack then questions Larry, asking him to remember many of his misdeeds; such as stealing flowers from a roadside memorial for Ida Funkhouser; taking a 5-wood golf club from Leo Funkhouser's hand at his funeral; breaking into head councilman Weinblatt's house to retrieve an incriminating letter; and the "beloved cunt" typo in Louise's obituary. Mack mentions more of Larry's misdeeds to the jury which includes refusing to give candy to two trick-or-treating girls on Halloween because they are not wearing costumes; exhuming the corpse of his mother Adele; inviting Rick, the convicted sex offender, to a Passover Seder; eating Oscar's last meal which was ice cream; having sex with a blow up doll in front of Cheryl; teaching Greg how to knit a swastika pillow sham for Susie; hiring a prostitute named Monena as his passenger; and lying over being abused by his uncle Leo at an incest survivors group. Mack uses all of this to point that the Act is required to prevent society from ending due to people like Larry. Finally, the jury reaches a verdict: Larry is declared guilty. Judge Whittaker (Dean Norris) notes how Larry kept committing mistakes, telling him he hopes he finally learned a lesson, and sentences him to one year in prison. While sitting in his cell, Larry converses with an inmate (Tarnue Massaquoi) over the appearance of an erection caused by the fabric of his pants bunching up, referred to as a "pants tent", which was referenced in (and gave its name to) the first episode of the series. Suddenly, Seinfeld shows up, telling Larry that he met one of the jurors (Martin Carlin) at a Mexican restaurant the previous night. This violated the jury sequestration, causing a mistrial and Larry is allowed to be released. As he walks off, Larry tells Seinfeld, "this is how we should've ended the finale", and both express disappointment for not coming up with it before. On the flight back home, Larry and his friends get into an argument when Susie opens the plane's window shade. Production Development In December 2023, it was announced that the twelfth season of the series would be the last. Larry David said, "As Curb comes to an end, I will now have the opportunity to finally shed this ‘Larry David’ persona and become the person God intended me to be – the thoughtful, kind, caring, considerate human being I was until I got derailed by portraying this malignant cha....
