Here Are All Of Your ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Guest Stars In Order Of Increasing Importance
HBO finally announced on Wednesday the stars who will be joining Larry David on Season 9 of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and, as usual, The Schmooze has opinions!
You can find, in order of increasing importance, the celebs who will be marching alongside David this fall.
11.Elizabeth Perkins
Who?
10.Lauren Graham
Why?
9.Ed Begley Jr.
No. But thank you for everything you do for the environment.
8.Bryan Cranston
I’ve never been able to shake the feeling that every “Breaking Bad” spoiler was somehow Bryan Cranston’s fault.
7.Elizabeth Banks
She may have wrongly accused Steven Spielberg of never having made a movie with a female lead but that hamburger kiss with Paul Rudd in “Wet Hot American Summer” absolves Banks of every sin.
6.Nick Offerman
His relationship with Megan Mullally alone is enough to keep us rooting for the “Parks and Recreation” curmudgeon.
5.Jimmy Kimmel
He’s the least grating late night host (among the white men, at least) and I’m charmed by his hobby of torturing children.
4.Nasim Pedrad
Pedrad left “SNL” in 2015 to work on a show that was canceled after one season, which is exactly the opposite of what she deserves.
3.Carrie Brownstein
Director, actress, musician, goddess, witch, queen: Carrie Brownstein is at once all of these things and indefinable.
2.June Diane Raphael
One of the funniest women on television. If you don’t believe me, you haven’t seen “Burning Love”.
1.Judith “Judge Judy” Sheindlin
My favorite and only non-feminist hero, Judge Judy has earned the right to willfully ignore the rising tides of change. Judge Judy should rightfully be the protagonist of every show on television — but, as that’s unlikely to happen, we’ll settle for her guest starring on every show on television.
May they all go forth and make the ninth season of “Curb” fire.

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
