"The 'Curb' cast and I are looking forward to seeing you all at PaleyFest! Just a heads up, I may not sound like myself," series star and creator Larry David said. "Since shooting ended I've been passing the time by playing the Jew's harp, which has damaged my teeth and given me a pronounced lisp. I have ordered special dentures from Estonia, but they may not arrive in time. Fingers crossed. In any event, see you there."
