The "Curb Your Enthusiasm" series finale is tomorrow, which means the end of the funniest TV duo ever: Larry (Larry David) and Leon (J.B. Smoove). Below are my 5 favourite scenes between them: ◻️(0:00) - Larry meets Leon for the first time (and is very confused) ◻️(0:31) - Larry accuses Leon of jerking off in the house after finding a stain ◻️(2:06) - Larry gives Leon job interview advice (my all-time fave exchange) ◻️(3:34) - Leon gives Larry self-defense advice ◻️(4:17) - "Long-ball Larry" Smoove is now 58-years old and David is 76-years old. The pair getting together — with Smoove joining "Curb" for its 6th season (2007) — was pure serendipity. After getting let go from SNL, Smoove had flown to LA for a funeral in 2006 on the exact same week that Larry David was casting the Leon character. Smoove’s agent finessed an audition and he explained his strategy on the Origins podcast: ➡️ “I never walk into an audition as myself. I always walk in there as the character…who I'm portraying so they can see how I walk. How I move. How I say ‘hello’. Everything is under the character as opposed to JB going in the room and then doing the character.”⬅️ In character as Leon, he told Larry he might slap him. Smoove had so much swagger that the “Curb” team was confused. "Curb" is famously an improv show and and Smoove's quick-footed gags were perfect. He crushed the audition and had Larry in stitches -- you can watch his performance from the (4:30) mark in the video (it’s the “jerk off in house” premise). Before the audition, the “Curb” writers hadn’t fleshed out the Leon character. But when they saw Smoove, they knew that was “Leon” and we’ve got infinite laughs since over 17 years and 70 episodes. Gonna miss these legends.

Gilbert Gottfried was born OTD in 1955 𝐆𝐈𝐋𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐓 𝐆𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐃'𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐒 ⚠️𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓! ⚠️ 🤣𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐅𝐔𝐍𝐍𝐘!! 😂🤣😂 One of the most infamous moments in modern stand-up is Gottfried telling “The Aristocrats” during a roast of Hugh Hefner in NYC (Sept 29, 2001), just 18 days after 9/11. He first tested the room with a 9/11 joke: “I have to leave early tonight, I’m catching a flight to L.A. I couldn’t get a direct flight, we have to make a stop at the Empire State Building.” It died, and the crowd instantly turned hostile. With nothing to lose, Gilbert went for the nuclear option: “The Aristocrats,” an old vaudeville-era “insider” joke comics have traded for decades. There’s no fixed script, the point is how far the teller is willing to escalate the depravity, the joke being the lengths you're willing to go before reaching the intentionally dumb punchline: “The Aristocrats!” Gottfried committed fully, piling on increasingly grotesque, taboo material (incest, bestiality, scatology, bodily fluids, violence, and more), even pausing to meta-explain the “logic” as he went. The set ran close to 10 minutes of non-stop, graphic, hilarious, perverse imagery. The room, defenceless to Gilbert's commitment, had no option but to erupt in fits of laughter. Comics who were there described it as a legendary save: he took a total bomb and turned it into a cathartic release for a tense, grieving crowd. It became iconic, cementing his reputation as a fearless “comedian’s comedian.” Gottfried later said he figured if he was already bombing, he might as well go all the way to “the bottom level of hell” with the dirtiest material possible, and it absolutely worked. It's not just great joke-telling; it's a legendary act of comedic bravery under maximum pressure, where bombing became the setup for one of the most iconic comedy saves in stand-up history.
