Respected comedy mind David Mandel spoke with Trey Elling on the red carpet, prior to a Seinfeld retrospective at the Austin Film Festival. The conversation included whether he felt any pressure when Larry David left Seinfeld after the seventh season, why "Bizarro Jerry" is his favorite episode to have written, a memory from his time working with Chris Farley on Saturday Night Live, and how he "Americanized" Veep after taking over before the fifth season.
