*A heads up to listeners, this episode contains many censored expletives throughout the interview.* J.B. Smoove is without a doubt one of the funniest people we’ve ever had on Bullseye. He got his start in television as one of the stars of Def Comedy Jam in the mid-90’s. In the early aughts, he became a writer on Saturday Night Live. But, he’s probably best known for his role as Leon on Curb Your Enthusiasm. J.B. joins us to talk about his time on SNL. We’ll hear about a few of his favorite sketches that never made it to air. He’ll also talk about his work on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and why he always goes to an audition in character. Plus, he’ll tell us about the time he told Howard Stern, and we quote: “You can’t eat spaghetti on an open patio.” Join us to learn exactly what he means!
