How JB Smoove Landed a Role on “Curb Your Enthusiasm”

[@robweissman5952]

Maaaaan, I wanna see a Leon and Larry road trip movie.

[@victoryvictory4471]

Same💯💯

[@romancastro_]

That absolutely needs to happen.

[@ryanneave246]

That’s a fantastic idea😆

[@MynameisMikeee]

Start a petition.

[@mr.patriotjol]

Thats larrys death wish lol

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

Classic example of someone who makes the most out of the smallest opportunity. He was only supposed to be on the show for a season but became a regular. So glad he did as the scenes with him and Larry are normally the funniest

[@gen4john660]

Same with Neil Flynn, the Janitor from scrubs. He was supposed to be there for the first episode then he ended up there for the whole series.

[@StoicContrarian]

Same thing with Urkel and a Jessie Pinkman. They won over the producers.

[@Magooch86]

Leon was easily the best addition to the Curb cast in the later seasons. Also JB's jacket here is dope.

[@TWOhype23]

He’s Smooth 👀😅

[@letitrip5139]

Most people on the show are playing themselves just a warped version of themselves they would never do in public

[@littleripper312]

JB Smoove is so skilled at improv, so quick and smart, it's amazing he isn't even more famous than he is. Thank god for Curb giving him the exposure he deserves.

[@hanigharaibeh]

This interview was prettaaaaay prettaaaaay good.

[@iamthebroker]

You’re 2 prettaaaaaaay’s short

[@Anthony-nk4ky]

I love how JB was like “I should be on that show” and then he got on the show like no problem

[@johnholmeswebb8162]

I've been watching Curb, since season 1, and I have to say, at this point Larry and Leon's relationship is my favorite part of the show. Leon always has Larry's back. He stole three baseball jackets, just because he thought they stole them from Larry.

[@justinhopper5941]

Leon is the man. He steals every scene he’s in on that show.

[@jwheeler1106]

Watching this it suddenly occurred to me that Leon is essentially the Kramer of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

[@escarlit]

yes!!

[@cazprescott9]

So Kramer is the Leon of Seinfeld 😆

[@billpaxton7525]

Very true. Good observation

[@859902]

Precisely

[@KingSausage74]

Pretty much though Kramer had your back he usually didn't get the results like Leon.

[@LastInLine13]

"He's the condom in your wallet" LMAOOOOO

[@ronaldoglesby6115]

😂😂😂

[@plexus]

mjmxiii ... SUCH a great line! And SUCH a great description of the character!

[@hawaiidispenser]

Leon is probably my favorite character from the show, and that's saying a lot because nearly everyone is funny. Great improvisations by JB.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Well, Larry's my favourite character, then maybe Marty or Cheryl, then Leon. But Susie is my least favourite. Get rid of that miserable sour bitch.

[@chadtellevik5479]

Best Leon bit is when he starts rattling off all Larry’s personal information causing Larry to drop F bombs. Leon the best.

[@MrAdamJoel]

Leon revitalized Curb that season

[@razroth8785]

You mean.. he recharged the mitz.. eh.. the season.

[@thrashpilot]

Every thirteen years.

[@californiaslastgasp6847]

Meh, he's the Cousin Oliver of Curb.

[@PaulGreen11]

Yeah, I never watched but, I'll watch now.

[@chefjordanp5901]

I saw his stand up live in person and probably never laughed so hard in my life. He is insanely underrated.

[@NSG84]

Leon is a brilliantly written character, and I don't see anyone other than Smoove doing the character. Finally, people are seeing it.

[@timchapel77]

JB is giving a lecture on the inner workings of the mind of a genius.

[@mr.timebombman2230]

Leon is one of the best characters. JB and Larry have a great chemistry. Most of my favorite episodes involve Leon.

[@rellysunshine9665]

He’s talented. Great idea to enter the room in character.

[@BigDH28]

🤣😂 That last clip was so funny that Larry David could barely hold it together. lol 😂✊️👍👍

[@pizzlepayne91]

You gotta search the curb bloopers on here, so damn funny

[@paulmichael5203]

I don't even think he is acting that much. JB Smoove and Leon are very similar

[@TrickyBoa]

Paul Michael lmfao was thinking the same

[@dawolf856]

Hmmm but JB wouldn't help you fight that traffic ticket

[@tadah21]

JB is really a calm well dressed guy in real life leon is a slob and freeloader I dunno think so

[@jnnlis]

Totally. Even when he’s “switching back to JB” it’s the same as Leon lmao

[@mercuryrising2424]

Leon is his alter ego.

[@westcoastgal4078]

I get excited when the episode is mostly Leon! He’s the best

[@barbaratea4701]

He's incredible great chemistry with Larry. A great actor and hysterical

[@SimbolicProductions]

leon is so amazing on curb

[@fastfoodreviewandelvistoo]

I binge watch curb in quarantine. It’s so buttery smooth. I mean smoove!

[@darrincleary2385]

We all need a friend like Leon in our lives

[@um8185]

Curb Your Enthusiasm is the greatest show of all time!!

[@MrTCHOSS]

Curb Your Enthusiasm was like a rocket that was ready to take off for outer space and JB Smoove was the G-Force energy that made the launch possible

[@josefadams647]

Comedic genius right there. Leon is a legend

[@zachelliott7324]

Leon is easily the best recurring character in the show

[@jared1825]

This is unreal. Howard with the perfect interjections and a beautiful response from JB. Shows the incredible interview skills of Howard.

[@jared1825]

Plus including the video inserts are impeccable. This is the work we want guy! Keep it up!

[@sylpascale7673]

JB is great, really adds to the show, one of the reasons I watch it.

[@sternbergjoe]

Leon is my fav actor on Curb Your Enthusiasm of such a stellar cast.

[@rogerpeet7399]

stingberg, I think you are afraid of people with darker skin.

[@yehor_ivanov]

@@rogerpeet7399 wtf lol (he totally wanting that bbc)

[@hottubz1965]

Favorite character on the show.

[@TheHawk-dy4cl]

100% my favorite character on the show

[@jasonc9llin184]

Best advice for actors. Love the character JB great advice.

[@mr.patriotjol]

Leon black- I Bring The Ruckus To Da Ladies

[@UncleRichard.]

You should have come back with the bottom half of that ass

[@jeremyg1833]

[@justinhopper5941]

You did your dizzle on her

[@swill1020]

Come’on Larry... tell me, right vff th did you bring the ruckus to the back door

[@djstarsign]

I gets mines

[@ciaradonnelly4627]

I like the fact that Curbs supporting characters can be totally random like Funkhauser, the conversation gives you the idea before you even see them

[@jesuisdenis5739]

One of the funniest SOBs on television. Funny, funny character.

[@chrisway8232]

One of Sterns best interviews...JB is on top form , could listen to his shit all day...the’ Johnson dangling in the water’ still cracks me up, even when I’ve seen that sketch so many times ...how Larry kept a straight face I’ll never know as I’m sure it’s improv...Leon is pure character study genius....JB top man..👏👏👏😁😁

[@JamieTheApe]

JB Smoove is my favourite TV person ever. He is just total charisma.

[@Thenorthelect]

Already an amazing show, and then somehow it gets even better with Leon. I was sooooo happy he stuck around. I wonder if he was originally only supposed to be in one season and they just had to keep him around after seeing how good the chemistry was with Larry.

[@johnmcdonald1237]

Jb taking styling tips from the security industry..love this guy 😂

[@johnnyg42]

When watching curb I can’t help but start smiling the second Leon appears on the screen, just getting excited to laugh my ass off because you know he’s gonna do some crazy shit

[@giaimo13]

Leon is my favorite character on “Curb”!

[@bboystance22]

I've only actually started watching this show this week and it is hilarious!

[@swaterman08]

YOU NEED TO AGITATE THE EARTH AND KICK ROCKS! Best line from Curb!

[@voongnz]

Love JB, and love Leon on Curb you enthusiasm. Funny guy. Pretty, pretty good.

[@harrisonfuller1874]

Underrated comedian right here!! Funny shit

[@floridagator1765]

This guy is hilarious! Leon is the man!

[@vegasjay2326]

The black Kramer.

[@shortstarwarsessays1842]

I remember my mom was watching this live in the car and the only part I remember is this part so odd but thank you for the memories

[@swjackson917]

Leon is the funniest character ever created for television.

[@PWRslide_TV]

"My name is Chappie Johnson and I can't open this jar of pickles"

[@XavierMcG]

Howard gives the best interview ever

[@navegandolejanooriente6268]

I love when Larry sends the police to kick out Leon but instead they apprehend a nice gentleman try to be Good Samaritan and return the computer.

[@5lanediver]

great actor right here - great tips

[@tomburton6101]

God. I fucking love this Guy. When I first heard the spelling of this guys name before seeing him, I thought that's some bragadocious shit. Seeing him, he is very entitled to have Smoove as his name. He's fly as fuck

[@SW-fn7cl]

Leon Black took the show up a level, amazing interactions between him and Larry

[@thegardenmuse2398]

JB just needs to be his awesome self to be on top. Love that guy!

[@dumpstuntin]

Leon is a great character.

[@BPB9973952]

No distinguishable difference in the character and actor, based on the 4:42 minute interview. That dude is Leon, period

Great show man!!!

[@akaibs]

I love Leon man lool

[@dreg5845]

Leon is funny as hell

[@keitrasanders1398]

JB Smooth is amazing on that show Curb your enthusiasm

[@livigerno11]

Season 6 goes up a notch when Leon turns up

[@flintybraz1]

I met him at the Super Bowl a few years ago. He was cool.

[@kenmatthews9928]

Best sitcom of all time

[@missamericausa]

He’s hysterical

[@johndobbins1105]

This dudes a boss

[@realtalkz3930]

I love Leon such a great addition to the show

[@negritorican]

Leon always makes Larry break character and laugh. Larry lowkey loves all those black jokes.

[@handofgod9386]

Great show and JB is always great on the show!

[@chrisgarcia9629]

The first time I saw Leon on Curb, I was like who the fuck is this guy?!?!? But I loved it!!! Brilliant!!!!

[@bobbyg3989]

JB plays Leon in every roll!

[@taxitalknyc7600]

JB - BRANGin' da RUCKUS !!! GREAT WORK, SHVEE !!! ;D

[@joeytucci4294]

Favorite character

[@skipwin9895]

Leon done run they asses in the ground.

[@tezzingtonsir28]

JB Smoove is Leon!!

[@vincentbrown1872]

Some of the scenes , the words out of Leon's ( mumbly voice ) are comedic history they are so funny . I don't know how to pick among them . What pops in my head right now is his playing a Black Jew and telling Kramer " a Mitzvah is every 13 years " .

[@truthtold9084]

There will never be another Leon. “Yo, muthafucka! My johnson hits the water too.” 🤣😂🤣😂

[@virginialucio4039]

Love Leon in Curb!

[@yourbigheadcousin5434]

Holy crap man, idk what appearance of JB's it was but he told a story about in his younger days he sold fire extinguishers door to door. He would light fires in a controlled way and then put them out. After a long day of putting out fires he lit one more in a lady's house but the small sized demonstration only extinguisher had run out of juice so he just left this random lady with a fire burning in her house. He said he was going out to the car to get another one and just ran off down the street.

[@DragonBellyTravels]

Bar-none...👑 cast member of curb.💯

[@jorgeb4963]

[@SaHa-sc2tp]

As great as Curb is, I think Leon should have his own show...I need to see more of that shit right there!

[@mrbriscoe2001]

Everybody Loves Leon!

That's because he IS Leon! 😆

This guy said some real shit, not even kidding.

[@denversdabsc6073]
