To wit, the CYE season 2 episodes where Jason and Julia want to break
out of their previous roles:
<http://www.hbo.com/larrydavid/episode/season2/episode11.html>
"And in (yet) another case of art imitating life, Larry and Jason
Alexander contemplate making a new TV series about an actor who can't
find work because he's typecast as a "jackass" character from a hit
series."
<http://www.hbo.com/larrydavid/episode/season2/episode14.html>
"Later, when [Larry] and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are pitching their new show
to HBO, Larry just can't leave the subject of the shrimp alone."
