Lori Loughlin parodies college admissions scandal on ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’: ‘I had a good lie’

who was caught up in the 2019 “Varsity Blues” college admissions scandal, poked fun at her reputation on Sunday night’s episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” in a guest-starring role opposite series star Larry David.In the episode, Ted Danson asks Larry to help Loughlin, 59, get into Larry’s country club, even though she’s served prison time for paying $500,000 to get her daughters into USC on false pretenses and was being blackballed by other LA country clubs.Her membership to the club is approved by the skeptical board after Larry gives a fiery speech inspired by Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.Larry then sets out on a round of golf with Loughlin, in which she sports a special flag that allows her access to the fairway on a day in which only golf carts are allowed there.When their round of golf is over, Larry notices that Loughlin has a disabled person license plate on her red Porsche.So … the next time Larry and Loughlin play a round of golf, he learns she was able to get a better tee time by tipping the starter $50 — and she later lies about her score on a difficult hole (even though her ball ends up in the woods).When Larry questions her about this, she says, “I had a good lie.”“You had a good lie, all right,” Larry mumbles when she walks away.In real life, Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, agreed to plead guilty in 2020 to conspiracy charges in connection with the admissions scandal at USC.Loughlin, the star of “Full House” and its Netflix reboot “Fuller House,” served two months in prison, paid a $150,000 fine and agreed to two years of supervised release and 100 hours of community service.The college admissions scandal also ensnared former “Desperate Housewives” star Felicity Huffman, among others,
