JB Smoove Breaks Down Curb Your Enthusiasm's Biggest Moments | GQ

[@JL-rv9lm]

Leon moves in even though the hurricane didn’t affect him. He lived in L A. Perfect.

[@MikeLikesChannel]

“Was he in the hurricane?!” “No! he lives here in LA!”

[@yarddawg6151]

[@YesImJoeKing]

He is the master of all free loaders

[@WellActualllyyy]

lmao

[@bubastis6306]

I don’t think Curb would have lasted 12 seasons without Leon. He breathed new life into the show and added a new dynamic that totally changed it.

[@Slinkbomb]

100percent. That gave the show another direction. His divorce and Cheryl getting with Ted… so he could date …

[@davidboothman8266]

Give the guy his own show

Facts

[@Rose-oq2hn]

He’s almost like the giant child Larry and Cheryl never had lol

[@Woozlewuzzleable]

JB gave Curb new life when he came on to the show. He made me laugh with every line that he ever had. You can tell Larry enjoyed working with him as much as we enjoyed watching them together.

[@gino1876]

Completely agree...EVERY LINE

[@GoldSrc1198]

When I first saw the show I though he was gonna be a one off character really glad he wasn't.

[@NewFalconerRecords]

Saved the show. Took it to another level.

[@AlkisenSuper]

@@NewFalconerRecords He didn't save it (As it was a fantastic show already), but he did possibly make it even more hilarious than it already was. Season 6 is my favorite of the series, just one masterpiece after another.

[@Tripsody]

They had such great energy together. Everything was just comedy gold. I always smile when the two of them are in a scene

[@delfin5418]

Absolutely died of laughter when Leon talked about Kramer in yesterday's finale. Leon binge-watching Seinfeld really brought things full circle. Gonna miss this show.

[@sujalgautam9761]

Leon is curbs Kramer

@@sujalgautam9761 in my defense, when you’re watching interviews of the cast then I think the spoiler window is open

@@sujalgautam9761 i read this collect 5 hours ago and just finished the episode 20 minutes ago. Nothing was ruined for me. The Kramer comment was not a spoiler.

[@acke7980]

What I also liked is that Larry ended the show exactly the same as they did on Seinfeld, I.e a court where they bring back all the characters who have shaped the show along the main cast.

[@BernardJMorgan]

I love that Leon isn’t necessarily portrayed as a very smart person but Larry always take his advice at full tilt 😂

Leon is probably the most genuine friend that Larry has, along with Jeff

I can't thank Larry enough for continuing Curb after six years gap. I feel that show really gets the recognition it deserves these days. Back in 2011. it felt like nobody cared, and it really was a big deal when the show came back.

[@gino1876]

"I don't fly baby, you gotta have a I.D. for that sh*t" 😂😂😂😂

Leon and Marty Funkhouser were my two favorites. 🎉

They both elevated the show beyond belief. And the show was already brilliant.

[@edgewiseCL]

I appreciate Vince Vaughn's funkhauser too personally...he's a great middle lol

[@daedevillewrestling]

The way JB keeps talking in and out of character is amazing lol

[@oldghostbilly]

like the rest of them, the character is based on his real personality. thats why this show works so well and feels so natural.

Saddest thing about curb ending is no more Leon

[@thomasmartin4281]

Leon needs a spinoff

[@amsunshine0]

He needs a prequel.

[@gino1876]

Yea, seriously. I don't know if his character is appreciated enough for how funny he is

[@thespadestable]

[@aziziwilliams9375]

Absolutely genius. And I would PAY to watch those outtakes.

[@anthonygordon9483]

JB is the only actor/comedian I know who watched his favorite TV show and said "I am going to be on that show".... And actually did it. He literally casted himself before Larry even knew who he was.

[@Darrin67]

Larry and Leon will go down in history as the greatest TV duo of all time. OF ALL TIME!!!

[@garrybaldy327]

Leon should have his own spin-off. Larry doesn't have to do anything. He can just be an exec producer, sit back and collect the cheques. (Yes, I know JB asked Larry this before and Larry said no. Ah, well.)

[@OhanaFilms]

One of the all time great comedy duos. JB and Larry are amazing together.

[@LizaH007]

Leon made curb the version of itself. He made it incredible. Larry and Leon are the best duo ever. We love you, Leon.

[@ohearne444]

JBs character of Leon is the best friend we all need

[@anthonygordon9483]

So a friend that is a kramer type that avoids employment and lives in your house and eats your food. Lol yeah that works if your rich like Seinfield and Larry.

[@MusicDude690]

I always love that Leon never hesitated to throw Larry under the bus!

An understated Artist, Keep it up Smoove, hope to see more of ya.

Leon spin-off is needed

[@mcw38]

This is going to be an unappreciated interview. This is extremely quality content. S/O JB.

[@bparks1952]

A very concise and funny explanation of several of the great scenes in Curb. Leon was a great addition that, to me, elevated the show. It also made me a fan of JB and this video adds another level of respect for his craft.

[@mixxxer]

This was such an amazing interview. Will miss this show a lot and especially the Leon character

[@Itsmytest]

Larry David redeemed himself with this ending, considering how exactly alike to the Seinfeld ending.

[@2Less0is0More2]

It was perfect

[@anythingandeverythingfun5123]

I believe it was a big F U to the people saying Seinfeld ending was bad like this is the ending and I’m sticking to it by recreating it in a way love it

[@NewFalconerRecords]

He doubled down and it was excellent. Gotta say, Bruce Springsteen added some unexpected comedy chops in the end.

[@LukeRadick]

I’m so glad Leon didn’t leave with the rest of the family 😂

Yes and they actually made that clear in the finale. If you pay attn you'll catch it.

Nah this is Leon playin JB Smoove

[@Naturalist1990]

Yeah we really need some kind of edit of all the scenes that didn’t make the show! JB is a genius on and off the show

[@MedalionDS9]

Leon was a much welcome and surprise addition half way through the series run and became the Black Kramer but somehow more

[@howardweinstein1324]

CURB got so much better when he joined the show. No one else could have played Leon. He was perfect for the part.

[@gino1876]

He's got to be the best supporting character of all time. I wonder if other people appreciate that role as much as I do in comedy. Him, George Costanza, Kramer, Creed Bratton, Gata, Lucile Bluth, Byron Bluth, I'm sure I'm missing others...

[@MegInWhispers]

Byron 😂

[@ronacosta2903]

JB has embraced the junior-sized urban sombrero. Love it.

[@Gabe-1997]

One of the best actors on the show and for sure my favorite character. It's great how JB Smoove dressed like Susie Green for this 🤣

[@nancydorn2524]

Leon was perfect!

[@bigdreams5554]

Love the insight into the improv process. Fascinating

[@ashwinoashwin]

What's fascinating is the fact that Leon first justifies his joke/makes it as a real life situation and then jokes about it and he does this for most of the clips in this video! Amazing stuff! First make it real and then make them laugh!

[@ZanaRahman]

JB you’re the heart of this show. I wish you’d write a book or an audio book with Larry. What a treasure that would be

[@foodfan731]

I brings the ruckus to the ladies

[@rolan2dr]

I wish Larry made another episode with krazy eyez. That was one of my favorites.

[@CelticConservative]

I can't watch the last season, it breaks my heart knowing there will never be more. This show is my life, i don't know how to deal with my life without Larry and Leon. I know it sounds like I'm exaggerating but I'm really not. Knowing there was more curb around the corner is probably a major reason I'm still around

[@sammeeks4528]

Stay strong my friend seriously I can relate but there will be more things to laugh at in the future stick around

[@jackies961]

Please stay ..this is a show you will see clips of for years .There is always something funny in life or someone.Please stick around.

[@Ethan-yz7lc]

I believe JB will be the star of his own “improv style” show within 3 years and HBO MAX will keep him on the payroll.

Larry loves having Leon around because he is down to roll whenever for whatever and has his back 💯. For example the getting back of the peppitone Yankee jersey.😅

[@danielwhitingjr2854]

Props to you and Raekwon to making Lampin and Lampable great slang. I'm a huge fan of the show it's interesting to hear these choices for Curb because it was always seamless sure you can see moment of the character not breaking but the improv being reacted was genuine that was kept in. Thanks J B for doing this. Like what can you do after Curb it's going to be hard to up the ante. One of the best shows ever!!!
