Richard Kind on John Mulaney, Larry Davi...

THE DAILY BEAST
About this episode

You might recognize Richard Kind from sitcoms like ‘Mad About You’ or ‘Spin City.’ Or from his voice work as the imaginary friend Bing Bong in Pixar’s ‘Inside Out.’ Now, he has become the ultimate late-night TV sidekick on ‘Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney,’ which wraps up its first season run on Netflix this week. In this episode, Kind talks about what it’s like to be just famous enough to work all the time but not famous enough to play himself on ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm.’ He also shares showbiz stories about almost getting cast on ‘Seinfeld,’ playing Rudy Giuliani in the film ‘Bombshell’ and offers up some very strong opinions about Woody Allen.
