Splendid!

From the opening scenes at the engagement party of a rapper, the wonderfully named Krazee-Eyez Killa, this is superb stuff. Larry gives advice on song lyrics and ends up hearing a secret from Killa. As Larry is the world's worst confident, it's only a matter of time before something happens.

Chris Williams is excellent as the aforementioned rapper, who is due to marry Wanda (Wanda Sykes).

Larry David is at his panic stricken best and this is one of the finest episodes of the third season.

9 out of 10.
