Reidy said. “We look forward to welcoming television fans back to the Dolby Theatre this April, and we extend our tremendous thanks to Citi and the William S. Paley Foundation for their generous and continued support of PaleyFest LA.”

“The Curb cast and I are looking forward to seeing you all at PaleyFest!” said Larry David. “Just a heads up, I may not sound like myself. Since shooting ended I’ve been passing the time by playing the Jew’s harp, which has damaged my teeth and given me a pronounced lisp. I have ordered special dentures from Estonia, but they may not arrive in time. Fingers crossed. In any event, see you there.”
The Paley Center’s YouTube channel has highlights from previous PaleyFest events.
“While I’d been counting on a 24th-anniversary celebration at PaleyFest, this is the next best thing, and I’m honored to participate,” Seth MacFarlane said.
