Curb Your Enthusiasm-watchers know the scene: Actor Jeff Garlin is at a party and is mistaken for Harvey Weinstein. Now, he says, it’s happening in real life—still—and he is not a fan.
“I resemble him enough, but I don’t really look like him. I mean, you know, in terms of really looking like him,” he tells Molly Jong-Fast in this bonus episode of The New Abnormal.
“There’s nothing funny about having people come up to you and accuse you of being a rapist,” he adds. But don’t get it twisted. He is not one of those comedians that call for cancel culture or try to complain about cancel culture.

“There's always going to be extremists on both sides,” he says, but, “I think the majority of people just want to hear something funny.”
Speaking of funny, will there be another season of Curb?
Honestly, Garlin has no clue. He does know that the upcoming season, filmed safely during COVID, won’t have anything to do with COVID.
Plus! Does he actually watch The Goldbergs? You know, the other show he’s on. He tells Molly his shows of choice, as well as his work-style: “I have no feeling as there’s something I’m supposed to be doing. I mean, I just have to ask my assistant, am I doing something today?”
