Ted Danson Dishes On Larry David's Weird Dining Phobia On 'Conan'

Larry David has a dining quirk thats pretty pretty good. (Watch the video below.)

The Curb Your Enthusiasm star wont eat dinner at other peoples homes and wont invite them to his house, either, Conan OBrien and Ted Danson said on Conan Wednesday. David will only meet friends at a restaurant.

The two analyzed Davids idiosyncrasy in a revealing exchange.

He doesnt want to be hemmed in by societal norms, Danson said, adding that David wants the freedom to leave the meal if he gets any kind of agita.

OBrien agreed.

He knows that in a restaurant he can say Im done, Im out, Im gone and he can do it 10 minutes in, throw in his share, and be gone, the Conan host said. But you cant do that at somebodys house. So hes got the whole thing rigged.

Danson, an Enthusiasm regular who now stars on Mr. Mayor, offered the perfect example: He, former Cheers co-star Woody Harrelson and director Pete Farrelly were meeting David for dinner at a restaurant.

Danson said they arrived even a little early.

And we show up and he is literally halfway through his entree. Hes already ordered because on a whim hes decided, I think Ill have more fun if I go call this lady friend I know or something. ... No qualms about totally blowing off any kind of engagement.
