Susie Essman Talks Boehner, Palin & 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' (VIDEO)

You most likely know Susie Essman from her hilarious role on Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm," but her stand-up is what she's really famous for. We recently sat down with Susie at Caroline's On Broadway, where she's performing stand-up tonight through Saturday Dec. 18, to get her take on the Tea Party, John Boehner's tears and the future of "Curb." It turns out, one of Susie's favorite parts about playing the angry, foul-mouthed Susie Greene is that she gets to mimic her behavior in real life without much of a problem. Who knew?

She is a riot. Love watching her and Larry David and their relationship on the show. Love the naked honesty of it all.

There's a big distance between being a tv star and having a reality show. There's an even bigger distance between having a reality show and being a politician. Hopefully people see the difference.

its always funny how people are always like 'does obama have a problem with the 'jewish vote.'' meanwhile like 70% of jews voted democrat. if the whole majority was that we'd have super majorities forever.

I love Curb, for a show totally based in LA it has such a NYC feel. Which is not a coincidence!

Palin a politician? Nope. A TV star? Maybe. How about a porn star?

What Sarah does is a form of porn...distracting, but ultimately uninteresting.

The fate of the free world rests in the hands (and mind) of Larry David. There IS a God!

A very funny lady. It would be an honor to be on the receiving end of one of her rants!

You enjoy being verbally abused, do you?

Not especially, but if it were by Susie Essman I would be thrilled. :)

what? are you, like, humor-challenged?
Whatever it is, your interrogatories are socially inapproriate and point to an inability to process the socially complex and cultural-specific neural charges associated with wit and humor

I have to agree with you. I'd want her to give my eulogy lol.
