An editor cutting comedy without a script can be like a trapeze artist working without a net, but that's what editors Steve Rasch ACE and Roger Nygard ACE do on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm. With just a short outline but a mountain of footage, Steve and Roger apply their storytelling skills and comedic sensibilities to help Larry David and his crazy cast of characters deliver big laughs on every episode.

Steve and Roger tell us about; the technology evolution that has taken place in their edit bays over the past 20 years, the process they use for getting Larry's best reactions, how cutting Curb is like working on a documentary and what it's like to be one of the Larry David Players. Plus much more!
