It's a little-known fact, but the idea behind "Curb Your Enthusiasm" came from comedian Jeff Garlin, who ended up taking a supporting role to Larry David. So when the star of "The Goldbergs" (7:30 p.m. Wed. on ABC) recommends a comedian, it's best to listen.

"Jenny Slate is amazing. Her movie 'Obvious Child' is OK, but as a stand-up and comic she is magical and extraordinarily special."
