Did the star appear in Curb Your Enthusiasm as a guest? TV quiz

Screen OD staff

Ever since its debut in 2000, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” has been a powerhouse of comedy television, garnering a large and loyal fan base for its unique blend of satire, humour, and social commentary. The HBO series stars Larry David, the co-creator of “Seinfeld,” who plays a fictionalised version of himself living life post-success in Los Angeles.

The show’s hallmark is its semi-improvised dialogue and faux-pas-filled plot-lines, usually instigated by Larry’s stubborn adherence to his own version of logic and etiquette – which inevitably land him in bigger and bigger messes. But another key aspect of the show’s long-lasting success has been its large cast which changes with a plethora of guest stars. From fellow comedians and actors to sports personalities and other notable public figures, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” has seen a host of famous faces playing either themselves or fictional characters over its many seasons on the air.

But, given the extensive list of celebrity guest stars who have appeared on the celebrated show, can you remember who has and hasn’t made an appearance on Curb?

That is – simply put- today’s challenge from Screen OD, one that we hope you can rise to. The task is simple. Who has been on the show, and who hasn’t? Take a guess and find out at the end if you’ve got it right or wrong…
