Richard Lewis was as grateful for Curb Your Enthusiasm to exist as fans are sure to miss it.

The comedy series ended Sunday with a bittersweet finale made all the more poignant with a behind-the-scenes clip posted Monday . The footage showed Lewis thanking his peers after filming wrapped and before his death in February .

I just want to say something, said Lewis in the footage from HBO Max .

Larry David has treated me like a god, and all of you have, and this is the greatest experience of my career, and I love each and every one of you, he said. Im honored to be working with arguably the greatest sitcom writer in the last two centuries.

He added, God bless all of you, and thanks for being so sweet to me.

Lewis, a lifelong friend of Davids , announced in 2023 that he was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease but recommitted himself at the time to continue acting on Curb as an exaggerated version of himself. He died from a heart attack earlier this year at 76.

David, the shows creator, honored Lewis with a statement at the time.

Richard and I were born three days apart in the same hospital, and for most of my life, hes been like a brother to me, David told multiple outlets . He had that rare combination of being the funniest person and also the sweetest. But today he made me sob and for that Ill never forgive him.
