Curb Your Enthusiasm: Top 18 Celebrity Cameos
13. Jason Alexander
The situations Jason Alexander and Larry get themselves into with each other really makes you wonder what their relationship was like during the Seinfeld days. They seem to be a thorn in one another’s sides, but the result of their efforts is “pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty” funny.
14. Richard Lewis
Richard Lewis is a regular on Curb Your Enthusiasm, appearing on 27 episodes throughout the original eight seasons.
Larry and Richard have a difficult friendship — one that takes a lot of work on both sides. Larry (very reluctantly) gives Richard a kidney on the Season 4 finale, “The End.”
Richard Lewis is returning for Season 9.
15. John McEnroe
John McEnroe often appears on shows or movies with the angry persona for which he is famous. The patience and restraint he shows on Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 6 Episode 5, “The Freak Book,” is exemplary considering the inconveniences Larry throws at him as his limo driver.
16. Mel Brooks
The legendary comedian is the catalyst for the main plot of Season 4.
It is curious that Mel Brooks makes such an impassioned stand for Larry to headline The Producers, but it turns out that he was counting on Larry to bungle the whole thing so he could finally be free of the long-running show. Larry manages to thwart his plan by actually performing well (after a short hiccup).
“There’s something about this middle-aged bald guy that is thrilling.”
17. Alanis Morissette
On Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 3 Episode 5, poor Alanis gets put through the ringer due to Larry and an elaborate web of spilling secrets as a form of apologizing. She is a trooper though, putting on a charity performance while wearing a neck brace.
18. Barbara Boxer
A lot of situations arise out of unwritten social laws on Curb Your Enthusiasm. One of these, apparently, is that clothes at the dry cleaners are up for grabs. On Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 6 Episode 2, Larry asks the senator to look into this injustice, but it turns out that she’s “part of the problem.”
“See these pants. Dry Cleaners. They’re mine now.” Savage, Senator, savage.
