With Dave Chappelle skateboarding through farmland somewheres in Ohio, J.B. Smoove might be the jester king ruling quietly in TV-land.
Whether you’ve seen him kicking it with Biggie Shorty and Bodie in Pootie Tang, or simply caught his stand up act, you know the man J.B. has a funny streak. But if you’ve seen him as Leon on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, you know he steals every scene.
Preface for the above: Kramer from Seinfeld is having trouble focusing at reunion-show rehearsals because he’s afraid he’s dying of Groats Disease. Larry David says not to worry because he has an accountant friend, Danny Duberstein, who is a Groats survivor. Larry agrees to arrange a meeting between the two men to quell Kramer’s fears. Turns out the Jewish Danny Duberstein has died from Groats, and so Larry asks his roommate, Leon, to fill in as Danny Duberstein and visit Kramer to calm his anxiety about the disease. Larry says he will be at the meeting, but he’s running late. And… action…
Someone give this man his own show.
Make sure you catch the season finale of Curb this weekend.

“I whited the fuck outta that shit larry” Halarious show
If HBO has any Brains, the will give JB Smoove his own show or spin off the Leon Black character. Cause he will bend dat bitch like Beckham. lol
I can’t believe I missed the WHOLE seaon, I’ll catch it hopefully on ONDemand
“Beloved Mother of Larry, an Asshole and a Swan Killer”
Last 3 episodes have been FIYAH, word to Dylan.
Word to Kaiser. CYE is on fire this season. I still chuckle at the Jesus “miracle.”
Yuck.
The Black Swan was classic.
Exposed Stomach was also classic.
“Larry doesn’t live in LA, he lives in his own mind, none of this matters to him.”
Curbs my new Wire.

Mr. Smoove has already parlayed the character into bigger opportunities. This month he agreed to an arrangement with Sony Pictures Television under which he would join the cast of the Fox sitcom “ ’Til Death,” or receive his own sitcom development deal if “ ’Til Death” does not return.

Looks like he may have a show before we know it.

LOL, YESSSSSSSS!
this may have been the best episode of the season. Def in my top 5 all time.
I posted this on another thread.. if you want to dl Curb, or any other tv show, you need this site in your life:

the ‘Long Ball Larry’ bit had me rollin.
While smoove is good, larry does write the damned show.
i can’t believe it took me this long to start watching this show…i gotta start danny dubersteining it up more i guess
Actually most of the show is improv. LD writes an outline for the episode.
Yeah, and then decides how many takes to do, and decides all directions the show takes.
It has been a great season though. Midriff was best, I think denise handicapped second.
the wendy wheelchair episode is unreal
“How did I do… I whited this shit out of him. I had him so convinced that he even agreed to give me 200k to invest for him….
I also like the episode when Leon and Larry get their phones switched up…. Classic… “black man in the white house”
I’m the President of hittin’ that ass!
yo i luv how at the end of this episode they messed wit the kramer nigger thing when Kramer says to Leon ”IF ONLY THERE WAS A WORD I COULD TELL YOU THAT WOULD MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE I DO RIGHT NOW!!”
fukin classic

I’m going to start using this and let you all know the results.
I saw J.B. Smoove do some standup in Austin about a year ago and he is all-around funny. He riffed on the audience and even threw in some Curb stories. Talented guy.
