Here’s something Larry David is happy about: an encore run of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” on TV Guide Network that includes a celebrity panel discussion.

The network wanted to avoid trimming the HBO comedy to fit into a half-hour with commercials, so it added celebrity debates about the show to fill an hourlong slot of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” programming.

Among the celebrities gabbing on “Curb: The Discussion” are “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm and comedian Jerry Seinfeld.

What’s to argue about? The cranky, self-centered behavior of Larry David’s character. David said he likes the idea, although he faults some of the interpretations.

“Curb Your Enthusiasm” debuts on TV Guide Network at 10 p.m. EDT Tuesday, starting with episode No. 1 from October 2000.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is host for Nov. 21, while January Jones gets the call Nov. 14.

The new shows begin Nov. 7 with Taylor Swift holding down both roles, as previously announced.

On Nov. 14, in the footsteps of Jon Hamm’s exceptional work last season, his Mad Men wife, January Jones, will be the host. Black Eyed Peas is musical guest.

On Nov. 21, A man who was in both (500) Days of Summer and G.I. Joe (in consecutive weeks!), Joseph Gordon-Levitt, will be the host, while Dave Matthews Band will play Studio 8H for the first time in nearly 10 years.

With everyone and their brother weighing in on the health-care debate, is it any surprise the humor-video Web site Funny Or Die has done the same?

Here’s their look, with several comics and actors making appearances:

Now, here’s what we want to know… should they have done this? Are celebs going too far?

(UPDATE: Or, as we’re learning from your comments — are they not going FAR ENOUGH?)
