Susie Essman on ‘Curb’ and the ‘Delightfully Loathsome’ Susie Greene

The Takeaway

The eighth season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” premieres this Sunday on HBO. The show hinges on star Larry David’s inability –  or refusal –  to follow social cues. Most of the characters respond to David’s antics with passive aggression. But there is one character who consistently faces Larry head on: Susie Greene. Known for her filthy mouth and  tendency  to scream at other characters, Susie is one of the long-running comedy series’ most beloved characters. Susie Essman, Susie Greene herself, talks about season eight, her “delightfully loathsome” character and equal opportunity offending.
Here’s the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” Season 8 Trailer:
