'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Star Jeff Garlin Is Worth $20 Million — But Walked Out Of Gig Because They Gave Him $800 Check Instead Of Cash
You'd think a man worth $20 million wouldn't blink at a check for $800. You'd be wrong — if that man is Jeff Garlin. The "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star reportedly bailed on a stand-up show at the Calabasas Country Club in California last week after discovering the club planned to pay him with a check instead of the cold hard cash he'd asked for. According to Page Six, Garlin had agreed to do the gig — part of the club's recurring comedy night series — with the condition that his $800 fee be paid in actual bills. Not Venmo. Not direct deposit. Not a check. Just cash. Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. So when the check came out, Garlin did the opposite — he walked out. "The crowd was pissed," a source told Page Six. "Most of them had come to see Jeff." Roughly 40 people had shown up for the dinner-and-comedy event, nestled between bingo nights and brunches on the country club calendar. And while $800 may not exactly scream "headliner budget," fans weren't expecting the headliner to bail altogether — especially not one who, by most estimates, has a personal net worth of around $20 million. But Page Six sources insist it wasn't about the money. "Jeff can be a very neurotic guy," one insider said. "He can get hung up on things." To be fair, fans of Curb have seen this movie before — usually starring Larry David. But this time, it was Garlin in real life, making a very Curb-worthy exit over a principle few saw coming. Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:. Garlin's comedy roots run deep — Second City in the '80s, followed by decades in TV, film, and voiceover work. He spent 10 seasons on The Goldbergs, voiced characters in Pixar hits like "Toy Story 3" and "WALL-E," and has been David's onscreen wingman through 12 seasons of HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Outside the spotlight, Garlin has also shared more personal struggles. In 2022, he posted a photo to Instagram showing a black-and-white image of comedy legend Jack Benny reacting to Mad magazine, captioning it: "Bipolar is a mother—. Sometimes it's just too much to deal with. I'm doing the best I can. This the first time that I've opened up about this." He hasn't commented on the Calabasas incident. But one thing's for sure — Jeff Garlin doesn't bend. Especially not over an $800 check. Unless it folds, don't even try. Read Next: Here's what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.

Paul Pierce walked 20 miles to work after Celtics prediction goes horribly wrong
Former Boston Celtics great Paul Pierce learned a valuable lesson Wednesday: If you make an outlandish prediction on live television, you better be ready to follow through. Pierce paid for that decision Thursday, as he walked 20 miles to the FS1 studio after his Celtics prediction backfired in horrific fashion. Pierce got himself into trouble during an appearance on FS1 on Wednesday. While discussing the Celtics' playoff series vs. the New York Knicks, Pierce made a bold proclamation. "If the Celtics lose Game 2 at home, I promise you, I'm walking here tomorrow. I'm walking here. I'm walking here 15 miles. I'm walking here. In my robe. No shoes on. Barefeet. If the Celtics lose [Wednesday]." Well, the Celtics lost Wednesday and Pierce suddenly found himself in a tough spot. Should he risk scorn and ridicule from the rest of the FS1 crew and a horde of people on social media? Or should he actually wake up at 3 a.m. and walk to the FS1 studio? On Wednesday evening, Pierce seemed to indicate he was willing to make the trek. 🤮🤮 — Paul Pierce (@paulpierce34) May 8, 2025 Pierce's screenshot showed the walk from his house to the FS1 studio was actually 20 miles. During Wednesday's television appearance, he mistakenly said it was a 15-mile walk. To Pierce's credit, he actually followed through. Pierce started documenting the experience on his Instagram story. While he didn't get up at 3 a.m., Pierce captured video of himself leaving his house at roughly 5 a.m. PT. He told fans he would check in with them later, and, yes, he was wearing a robe. Pierce then followed up with fans multiple times as he walked to the studio. Paul Pierce actually walking to work at FS1 after saying he'd do it if Celtics lost Game 2 lmao — Ryan Glasspiegel (@sportsrapport) May 8, 2025 Around 1 p.m. PT, Pierce said on his Instagram that he'd made it to the studio, and he certainly looked sweaty enough to prove it. "I'm never doing this again," he said. Though he added, "I feel like I accomplished something great." "Hoping this can inspire my Celtics and we can get back in this series and pull this series out," Pierce said. "I'm the Truth."Paul Pierce finally arrives at the Fox lot in Century City after a 7-hour journey making good on his promise to walk to work if the Celtics lost Game 2 to the Knicks: — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) May 8, 2025 Pierce was then wheeled into the studio ... before popping up and walking to his chair. Paul Pierce gets the 'Curb' music treatment from 'Speak' for his walk of shame to the Fox studios. And then he arrives at the set in a wheelchair. 🏀📺🎙️ #NBA — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) May 8, 2025 With their loss Wednesday, the Celtics fell behind 2-0 in the series with the Knicks. While Celtics players likely woke up frustrated Thursday, at least they know there's someone out there having a much worse morning as a result of the loss.

But David, who spearheaded the finale's concept, remains unapologetic. The debate even made its way into Curb, with a meta-argument between Larry and Jerry about whether they 'screwed up' the ending.

Did Cheryl Hines just get snubbed by Trump at UFC match in Miami? We break it down
Looks can be deceiving, especially on the Internet. In a video that has now gone viral from UFC 314 in Miami at Kaseya Center on Saturday night, ESPN cameras caught what seemed to be an awkward moment. As President Donald Trump makes his way through the crowd, he warmly greets his Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Standing next the lawyer is his wife Cheryl Hines. Trump looks directly at the 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' star, who has her hand out, then keeps going. Hines is left in the dust with a surprised look on her face, leading many keyboard sleuths believing the she got snubbed. But later into the bout, Trump is captured interacting with Hines, who is seated a row behind. They converse, at one point she stands up and leans over to tell POTUS something in his ear. The actress and president were also captured talking in the arena, along with RFK Jr. We even saw a possible smile or two. So apparently all is copacetic, despite some social media users thinking a feud between the two would make a great 'Curb' episode. The frenzied attention the clip has raised reminds us of what happened right around the same time last year at a different UFC matchup, also at Kaseya. Trump was working the room when he came upon his daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner. After greeting the couple, the then Republican nominee keeps moving without acknowledging his little grandson, Joseph, then 10. In Trump's defense, the boy is small, and not at eye level, plus he had a few distractions including the screaming crowd, loud music (Kid Rock's 'American Bada-s') and Secret Service hustling him along. As for how Hines feels about being thrown into the current, highly charged political arena? She's good at her job so we'll never truly know. We do know the Miami Beach native has voiced her displeasure with some of Trump's tactics in the past, especially about the way he targeted women such as Ted Cruz's wife. But after RFK Jr. suspended his independent campaign for president to support Trump, she released this statement: 'I deeply respect the decision Bobby made to run on the principle of unity. Over the last year and a half, I have met some extraordinary people from all parties — Democrats, Republicans and independents. It's been my experience that the vast majority of all parties are truly good people who want the best for our country and for each other. It has been an eye-opening, transformative and endearing journey.'
