JB Smoove with Suli McCullough and Lorenzo 'Hitman' Thornton,

JB Smoove, currently staring as a series regular on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, is a gifted writer, comedian and actor, who continues to entertain audiences all over the world with his unique brand of comedic funk. In September of 1999, he moved to Los Angeles and landed a recurring role on MTV’s The Lyricist Lounge Show, as well as featured guest spots on The Chris Rock Show and Premium Blend. In June 2000, he landed his first big feature film role narrating and starring in the now cult classic Pootie Tang with actor/comedian Chris Rock. In March 2001 he paired up with Adam Sandler to co-star in Mr. Deeds. The collaboration between the two was so successful that Smoove signed a writing deal with both Revolution Studios and Happy Madison (Sandler's production company) on the feature Drivin’ Down South (working title). After an amazing yet short lived season as a cast member on Fox’s “Cedric the Entertainer Presents,” he moved back to New York City where he landed a writing position on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. In the standup and acting worlds, Smoove has been featured on Comedy Central’s Tough Crowd, Jamie Foxx Presents: Laffapalooza, SNL sketches, and a regular on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Be sure to catch JB as the hilarious Leon in this season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and as Manny on Fox’s Everybody Hates Chris.
