Larry David’s not 100 percent Jewish? What are you gonna tell us next, that his alter ego George Costanza and his family (played brilliantly by Jerry Stiller and Estelle Harris) aren’t members of the tribe either?
On a recent airing of TBS’s “Lopez Tonight,” brand-new talk show host George Lopez informed Mr. “Curb Your Enthusiasm” that he conducted a human genome inquiry about Mr. David and came up with some surprising DNA results.
Turns out the 62-year-old “Seinfeld” co-creator is a member of another tribe.
“Why did I do the DNA test?” the Brooklyn-born Mr. David asked Mr. Lopez moments before the big announcement. “I know I’m a Jew but where did I come from? Maybe I’m not. Maybe I’ve got some Indian or Mexican in me. Who the hell knows? Maybe I’ll be surprised by this.”
Mr. Lopez told him, “You are 63 percent European … Larry David, you are 37 percent Native American!”
A clearly stunned Mr. David replied, “What do you mean. I’m a Comanche? I’m in the Iroquois Tribe. What are you saying?” Mr. Lopez informed him, “Listen, you’re a member of two tribes. You’re Jewish and you’re Native American.”
Mr. David countered, “What! This can’t be true,” to which Mr. Lopez replied, “It’s true, it’s absolutely true.”
Guess Larry’s feeling a bit regretful now about that “Seinfeld” episode with the cigar store Indian, eh?
