Larry David wrote for Saturday Night Live during the 1984-85 season, and claims that only one of his sketches ever made it onto the broadcasted shows.

Larry David wrote for that series from 1990-96 and returned to write the series finale in 1998. (Larry David also did a few uncredited appearances during show's run, including loaning his voice for certain off-screen characters including George Steinbrenner.) Larry David was Emmy®-nominated seven times for his writing on "Seinfeld", and won in 1993 ("Outstanding Individual Achievement in Writing in a Comedy Series") for the now classic episode "The Contest."
