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 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.
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.
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.
@@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.
The Leon character is so perfect as a foil for Larry. He's so different but has the same DFAF attitude toward things that they egg each other on. But then Leon says so many wild-eyed things that it almost makes Larry seem reasonable when he goes off and does those typical Larry things that are so funny.
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.
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.
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
@@bigstunna2049Seasons 6 and 7 are easily the best two. They stand alone in whatever order you want. Then 3, 4, 5, and 8 come next, again in whatever order.
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.
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!
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.)
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.
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...
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
I can tell he be making Larry laugh cuz I know it's improv but the stuff he be coming up with like Larry literally be cracking up because I'm sure he doesn't know what Leon's about to say
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!!!
Thank you JB. Unforgettable. We are delighted because you a funny sip of hot black coffee and wiv charm that is second to none. I need jb smoothin my life
I never knew his name.. EVER.. Till now. I always just called him Leon Black. Because that was his name on the show, and only what I knew him in happened to be, the show. Even in GTA 5, I believe he plays a talk show DJ. I call him LEON in that too.
There's like a genius idiocy or dumb intelligence in the Leon performance, you've gotta be super intelligent to perform that so well, JBs such a clever actor glad curb turned me onto him
Yeah it is. If you think about it. Leon is the only fictional main character on the show while everyone else around larry literally plays themselves. He was casted to only be in one season and this was JB smoove first Televison debut so who would of thought Leon would create such a break out character. But he is literally playing himself amd the only main cast actor with a fictional character even though the rest of the cast is playing themselves. They pretty much had to stick with the script. He couldnt come back playing JB Smoove, he had to stay with Leon. But it fits well cause we got another kramer on the show.
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.😅
Well done Mr David, well done sir … great last show with great twist at end. And bringing Jerry 2:47 back was genius . Leon asking Jerry about films of him with the woman of senders was hilarious. Jerry playing along with jB was great
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.
100percent. That gave the show another direction. His divorce and Cheryl getting with Ted… so he could date …
Give the guy his own show
Facts
He’s almost like the giant child Larry and Cheryl never had lol
Leon moves in even though the hurricane didn’t affect him. He lived in L A. Perfect.
“Was he in the hurricane?!”
“No! he lives here in LA!”
@@MikeLikesChannelThat was a hilarious moment 😂😂
He is the master of all free loaders
lmao
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
@@trx-hz3lhRichard Lewis..?
@@jsmithers.frenemy adjacent but definitely not full fledged like funk or Danson
Wouldn’t say they get along well. That’s all.
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.
spoiled it for us didnt you
Leon is curbs Kramer
@@sujalgautam9761 in my defense, when you’re watching interviews of the cast then I think the spoiler window is open

Completely agree...EVERY LINE
When I first saw the show I though he was gonna be a one off character really glad he wasn't.
Saved the show. Took it to another level.
@@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.
They had such great energy together. Everything was just comedy gold. I always smile when the two of them are in a scene
Best dynamic in curb is Leon and Larry
Idk Susie and Jeff or Susie and Larry are up there
Richard and Larry easily are the best!!
larry and leon could keep me engaged all day
no

I don’t think I’ve ever clicked on a video faster. He’s the best!
Crazy Eyez Killa walked so that Leon could run.
Cool de la
Crazy? Krazy? Cray-Z?
Yes 😂
😂😂
i thought we were cool de la!!
Leon and Marty Funkhouser were my two favorites. 🎉
Rip
They both elevated the show beyond belief. And the show was already brilliant.
I appreciate Vince Vaughn's funkhauser too personally...he's a great middle lol
The way JB keeps talking in and out of character is amazing lol
like the rest of them, the character is based on his real personality. thats why this show works so well and feels so natural.
I'm pretty sure this is just Leon Black pretending to be an actor
@@jackag24 💯 and it’s perfect
He’s talented
"I brings the ruckus" gets me every time. Especially having seen the blooper reel where that line absolutely cracks Larry 😂
Saddest thing about curb ending is no more Leon
Leon needs a spinoff
He needs a prequel.
Yea, seriously. I don't know if his character is appreciated enough for how funny he is
@@thomasmartin4281 -
Nah. Leon on needs to be treated like George Lucus' version of Darth Vader. A little bit went a long way and brought the bank.
@@thomasmartin4281yoooo I’m here for a spinoff
"I don't fly baby, you gotta have a I.D. for that sh*t"
😂😂😂😂
A true masterclass on comedy. JB's insights are pure genius.
Word
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.
He’s Curb’s Kramer!
Yes and they actually made that clear in the finale. If you pay attn you'll catch it.
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.
Absolutely genius. And I would PAY to watch those outtakes.
I had no idea there were so many complicated levels to this kind of comedy. The cast is perfection because they make it look so easy.
E JACK A LIT
Leon made curb the version of itself. He made it incredible. Larry and Leon are the best duo ever. We love you, Leon.
Larry David redeemed himself with this ending, considering how exactly alike to the Seinfeld ending.
It was perfect
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
He doubled down and it was excellent. Gotta say, Bruce Springsteen added some unexpected comedy chops in the end.
The whole black family moving in was brilliant
my favorite season still
Don't you mean Black Family? 😂😂
@@bigstunna2049Seasons 6 and 7 are easily the best two. They stand alone in whatever order you want. Then 3, 4, 5, and 8 come next, again in whatever order.
One of the all time great comedy duos. JB and Larry are amazing together.
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.
I love this show....Leon and Suzie are my favorite characters. I wish leon and Susie had more interactions...that would be gold!😂
I always love that Leon never hesitated to throw Larry under the bus!
I’m so glad Leon didn’t leave with the rest of the family 😂
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!

Larry and Leon will go down in history as the greatest TV duo of all time. OF ALL TIME!!!
This is going to be an unappreciated interview. This is extremely quality content. S/O JB.
JBs character of Leon is the best friend we all need
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.
Nah this is Leon playin JB Smoove
An understated Artist, Keep it up Smoove, hope to see more of ya.
CURB got so much better when he joined the show. No one else could have played Leon. He was perfect for the part.
Leon was a much welcome and surprise addition half way through the series run and became the Black Kramer but somehow more
Leon spin-off is needed
JB Smoove as "Leon" was brilliant. The chemistry between he and Larry will go down as pure comedy gold
Leon was perfect!
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...
Byron 😂
I brings the ruckus to the ladies
This was such an amazing interview. Will miss this show a lot and especially the Leon character
JB has embraced the junior-sized urban sombrero. Love it.
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
Release the tapes Larry!
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 🤣
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
Stay strong my friend seriously I can relate but there will be more things to laugh at in the future stick around
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.
The real magic is when you realise how much thought is behind all these scenes you think are just funny. JB is a real diamond 💎 and a goat!
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.
He’s brilliant. He can see things on multiple levels.
Love it.
"It's hard playing the infield with polio" made me laugh for a week!
JB Smoove has become one of the best comedy actors in Hollywood giving curb your enthusiasm a whole new layer of Funny
Love the insight into the improv process. Fascinating
Thank you, JB. Forever a legend in comedy.
everybody needs a leon in their lives...
JB smoove need to start a podcast as Leon
I was glad JB Smoove was on Curb because he always made me laugh so hard until my ribcage became sore.😂😂
E-jack-a-lit is a legendary beginning. Larry made Leon a permanent character at that moment.
I wish Larry made another episode with krazy eyez. That was one of my favorites.
JB is a legend. He brings so much to the show
when JB entered the show is when it really took off
Him and Martry Funkhauser (R.I.P.) both took it to another level.
I can tell he be making Larry laugh cuz I know it's improv but the stuff he be coming up with like Larry literally be cracking up because I'm sure he doesn't know what Leon's about to say
I loved all episodes with JB on them. My favorite episodes are with him in them.
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!!!
Leon and Larry together 👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣
Thank you JB. Unforgettable. We are delighted because you a funny sip of hot black coffee and wiv charm that is second to none. I need jb smoothin my life
Brilliant. Hysterical. Fun. Thank you for this rundown, it's priceless.
Best duo in history
YES!!! I NEED THAT MOVIE FULL OF ALTERNATE TAKES!!!! TELL HIM, JB!!!!!
JB, you did a wonderful job on Curb, the show was much better off with you, thanks for the laughs!
Legendary character
You got to refresh the Mitzvah.😂😂😂
I love how he talks about the events on the show as if they actually happened to him
Larry David and Leon black , best double act ever
I never knew his name.. EVER.. Till now. I always just called him Leon Black. Because that was his name on the show, and only what I knew him in happened to be, the show. Even in GTA 5, I believe he plays a talk show DJ. I call him LEON in that too.
THE WORLD LOVES J.B.!!!!
He will never convince me that Leon is a character. If anything, the writer/actor/comedian J.B Smooth is a character that Leon Black plays.
21:32 is my all time favorite Leon idea.
JB is just a naturally hilarious individual
All scout leaders need to be this funny and cool.
Leon had that unhinged energy that brought the show together.
Forgot so many of these. Unbelievable character
Leon making those comments about Kramer was such an “OFCOURSE HE IS!” Moment
the comedy he played out in Leon's character was pure genius!
There's like a genius idiocy or dumb intelligence in the Leon performance, you've gotta be super intelligent to perform that so well, JBs such a clever actor glad curb turned me onto him
They should put this video as a DVD special feature.
JB - made curb what it is. legend
He's absolutely not playing a character. This is 100% Leon.
Yeah it is. If you think about it. Leon is the only fictional main character on the show while everyone else around larry literally plays themselves. He was casted to only be in one season and this was JB smoove first Televison debut so who would of thought Leon would create such a break out character. But he is literally playing himself amd the only main cast actor with a fictional character even though the rest of the cast is playing themselves. They pretty much had to stick with the script. He couldnt come back playing JB Smoove, he had to stay with Leon. But it fits well cause we got another kramer on the show.
What a perfect duo, nothing beats Larry and Leon 😎
Leon is multifaceted & complex.😊
What a great video. Loved his insights here.
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.😅
JB IS A MASTER GENIUS!
This entire interview could have been in universe to the show and it wouldn't have made a lick of difference.
Leon is one of if not the funniest characters ever in a tv show
I have re watched every season at least 20x he cracks me up they all do hahahah
One of my top ten tv characters ever lol
Well done Mr David, well done sir … great last show with great twist at end. And bringing Jerry 2:47 back was genius . Leon asking Jerry about films of him with the woman of senders was hilarious. Jerry playing along with jB was great
A Leon Black spinoff would be AMAZING!
