And he’s not about to start now. The acclaimed writer and actor used Sunday’s end of his long-run- ning HBO series Curb Your Enthu- siasm to double down on the last episode of the NBC 1990s mega-hit, daring viewers to hate it all over again. The results were less than hilarious, but it was an appropriate, clever act of defiance. More than 75 million people watched that 1998 episode of Sein- feld, but you might not remember the details. A quick recap: Jerry and the only three people on Earth that can stand him are arrested for breaking an obscure Good Samari- tan law in Massachusetts. They are imprisoned after characters from their past pop up to give jurors past examples of their extreme indifference to other people. David, who co-created the series, came back after a two-year hiatus to help write the send-off. The entire 12th season of Curb, which had its debut season in 2000, has dropped hints that its finale would echo the end of David’s pre- vious show. In the season premiere, Larry gets arrested in Georgia for giving water to someone in a voting line, violating a state law. The trial, which took up much of Sunday’s 55-minute episode, con- sisted of characters from the past getting one last chance to gripe, triggering clips of Larry’s most cringe-worthy moments: Stealing shoes from a Holocaust museum, beating a black swan to death with a golf club, hiring a prostitute so he could use the carpool lane. The trip down memory lane did give us one last chance to salute some beloved guest stars, from political whistleblower Alexander Vindman to Bruce Springsteen, but it felt more like one of those high school reunions. The series finale seemed like a good idea on paper, but once you’re there, you kind of regret making the trip. What did work was watching David treat his ordeal as if he was trying to rub a grass stain off his pants. He was too obsessed with killing a fly to listen to his defence attorney (Sanaa Lathan) present her opening statement. Instead of studying his case at night, he was browbeating Richard Lewis’ girlfriend (a bril- liant Allison Janney) over claims that she tried to commit suicide. He sealed his doom by making his star character witness turn against him after he and his manager (Jeff Garlin) steal her recipe for salad dressing. This was Curb at its best, a curmudgeon so irritated by petty annoyances that he can’t — or won’t — see the big picture. Those hoping for a full-fledged Seinfeld reunion had to be a little disappointed; only Jerry Seinfeld appeared, springing his longtime buddy from jail on a technicality. “This is how we should have ended the finale,” Larry barks as he departs the cell. The legacy of Seinfeld was prom- inent even without cameos from Kramer, Elaine and George. In the finale’s most telling scene, a mom tries to get her son to apol- ogize to Larry for accidentally hit- ting him in the head with a toy ball. David isn’t about to help her out. “I’m 76 years old, and I’ve never learned a lesson in my entire life,” Larry tells the bemused kid. That was theme of both classic sitcoms. And that’s the reason Curb will be missed. — Star Tribune NEAL JUSTIN N EW YORK — Actor Jonathan Majors has been ordered to complete a yearlong counselling program but avoided jail time Mon- day for assaulting his ex-girlfriend in a high-profile case that derailed the once-promising star’s career. The 34-year-old star of Creed III and other films had faced up to a year behind bars after he was convicted of misdemeanour assault by a Manhattan jury in December. In court Monday, Judge Michael Gaffey sentenced Majors to conditional discharge after noting that both sides in the case agreed the charges did not warrant jail time, given the actor was a first-time offender with no prior criminal record. He said Majors must complete a 52- week, in-person batterer’s intervention program in Los Angeles, where the ac- tor lives. He also has to continue with the mental health therapy his lawyers say he’s been participating in. Majors faces a year in jail if found in violation of the terms, which also included a no-contact order with his former girl- friend, Grace Jabbari. Majors, dressed in all black and accompanied by his girlfriend, actor Meagan Good, declined to address the court and left the courthouse without speaking to reporters. His lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, said the actor did not want to make any public statement that Jabbari could use against him in the civil suit she’s filed against the actor. Majors, she added, is “committed to growing as a person” and will complete any court-mandated programs “with an open heart” even as he maintains his innocence and plans to appeal. “He’s lost his whole career,” Chaudhry said in court. “This has been the most challenging year of his life.” But Jabbari, fighting back tears as she addressed the court, said Majors refuses to acknowledge his guilt and remains a danger to those around him. “He’s not sorry. He has not accepted responsibility, ” she said. “He will do this again and he will hurt other wom- en. He believes he is above the law.” Following the December guilty verdict, Majors was immediately dropped by Marvel Studios, which had cast him as Kang the Conqueror, a role envisioned as the main villain in the entertainment empire’s movies and television shows for years to come. The conviction stemmed from an altercation last March in which Jabbari accused him of attacking her in the backseat of a chauffeured car, saying he hit her head with his open hand, twisted her arm behind her back and squeezed her middle finger until it fractured. Majors claimed the 31-year-old Brit- ish dancer was the aggressor, flying into a jealous rage after reading a text message from another woman on his phone. He maintained he was only try- ing to regain his phone and get away from Jabbari safely. Majors had hoped his two-week criminal trial would vindicate him. In a television interview shortly after his conviction, he said he deserves a second chance. The actor had his breakthrough role in 2019’s The Last Black Man in San Francisco. He also starred in the HBO horror series Lovecraft Country, which earned him an Emmy nomination, and as the nemesis to fictional boxing champ Adonis Creed in the blockbust- er Creed III. As for Marvel, a looming question remains whether the studio will recast the role of Kang or pivot in a new direction. Majors’ departure was among a re- cent series of high-profile setbacks for the vaunted superhero factory, which has earned an unprecedented US$30 billion worldwide from 33 films. — The Associated Press PHILIP MARCELO JON KOPALOFF / GETTY IMAGES Actor Jonathan Majors was convicted of assaulting then-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.
