Larry David Talks Divorce To Jay Leno: Ex-Wife Wanted 'To Have Sex With Someone She Liked'

Larry David made an appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" Thursday, and before stealing the spotlight from this season's "Bachelorette" Ashley Hebert, the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star and "Seinfeld" co-creator opened up about his 2007 divorce from Laurie David in typical awkwardly hilarious fashion:

Jay Leno: "Whose fault was the divorce?"

Larry David: "I don't like the tenor of that question."

Jay Leno: "Well I'm trying to be concise. Who screwed up?"

Larry David: "You're being very disrespectful, Jay."

Jay Leno: "No no no! But obviously something happened."

Larry David: "Well, she thought that it would be nice to have sex with someone she liked. She wanted to try that. And I said it's not a good idea. Because you never wanna have sex with people you like. You can't have good sex with people you like. Doing those things. And then you're supposed to talk to them?"

I had a very similar experience. My divorce was entirely my fault because I just couldn't get along with my wifes lover.

wow, I read a few pages of comments and only a few negatives. I have friends that don't think LD is funny, his off beat comedy could make a statue cring. Have all seasons of CYE and can't wait for the next. BTW when is it?

I love his smart humor. His show is one of the few oasis left in a pool of downward spiraling Reality Shows and Talent Contests which have dumbed down TV entertainment.

I may use that line someday. That was actually an absolutely brilliant thing to say to that question.

Leno does his usually clueless job of asking questions and gets a brilliant answer. Is that Leno's talent? I can't find any other.

this guy is hilarious without even trying! He doesn't have to act at all in CYE!
