Berman is currently receiving rave reviews on the HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm as Larry David's father, Nat. In addition, he recently did a stint on the ABC hit series, Grey's Anatomy and can be seen semi-regularly on some of the late night talk shows.

Berman has been a staple of the nightclub circuit, in films and on television since the late 1950s. One of his more interesting roles was in a 1961 episode of The Twilight Zone in which he played a people hating curmudgeon who wished everyone in the world was exactly like him. It was a classic performance as fans of the series will remember.

In several interesting parallels to Barbra's own career, Berman's first stand-up performance was at Chicago's Mr. Kelly's in 1957, the same venue that helped launch Barbra's rise to stardom. Berman, like Barbra, is a Grammy award winner (the first Grammy ever awarded for a non-musical recording) and he has three gold records to his credit. Berman has appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and The Jack Paar Show, among countless others.
