Did Larry David really write for SNL ?

[Chocolate Moose]

He sees his former co-writer in season 2..is that for real ?

Yes, according to the IMDB, David wrote for SNL during the 84-85 season, and only one sketch he wrote made it to the show.

In fact, it was his frustration with SNL that only one of his sketches made it that became the episode of Seinfeld where George tells off his boss and quits. Then he realizes later that it wasn't a good idea, so Jerry suggests going back on Mon.morning and pretend it never happened. Larry did the same thing with his boss at SNL. Not sure if it was Lorne Michaels but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
