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.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
