List of Curb Your Enthusiasm guest stars

Many episodes of the American HBO comedy television series Curb Your Enthusiasm feature guest stars. While a lot of these guest appearances are for fictional roles, a large number of the guest stars on the show are celebrities playing themselves (or fictionalized versions thereof), including actors, comedians and sportspeople.[1]

Curb Your Enthusiasm stars Larry David (co-creator of Seinfeld) as himself, with Cheryl Hines as his wife Cheryl, and Jeff Garlin as his best friend and manager Jeff. A number of the guest stars have recurring roles on the show, with some appearing especially frequently, such as Richard Lewis (himself), and Susie Essman (Susie Greene).

This list contains all guest appearances on Curb that received a "Guest Star" or "Special Guest Star" billing in the closing credits of at least one episode. Sometimes an actor might not be credited as guest star on his or her first appearance, but will be in subsequent episodes. For example, Susie Essman appears as Susie in several episodes of the first season, but only got nominated to guest star role in the second season. The list may also contain certain notable non-guest star appearances, if the person plays him- or herself; such as Dr. Phil McGraw's role in the episode "Vehicular Fellatio", in which he played himself but did not receive guest star billing.

Season 1 (2000)

In the first season, the characters of the show are introduced across a series of mostly isolated episodes, including recurring characters, such as Richard Lewis and Ted Danson. Jeff's wife Susie (Susie Essman) also appears in some of the episodes – however, she has only received guest star credit from season 2 onwards. Julia Louis-Dreyfus (who played Elaine in Seinfeld) also makes an appearance, along with her husband.

Season 2 (2001)

In season two, Cheryl is tired of Larry not working, so he begins to develop a new television show, first with guest stars Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus (George and Elaine on Seinfeld, respectively) as themselves. However, Larry's constant social faux pas ruin all of their chances with every major television network. This season also begins a long running tradition of Wanda Sykes appearing to chastise Larry whenever he does something seemingly (but not actually) racist. Other notable guest stars playing themselves include Rob Reiner, and professional basketball player Shaquille "Shaq" O'Neal in the episode "Shaq".
