His road to stardom wasn’t always Smoove. When J.B. Smoove got the call in 2006 that he landed “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” he had just left a “horrible” standup gig outside of Pittsburgh where he stayed in the “worst” motel he had ever seen. “To the point where I laid down in my clothes and my coat, that’s how dirty it was,” Smoove, 56, who is performing at Town Hall in Midtown on Nov. 11 as part of the New York Comedy Festival, “I said, ‘Something’s gotta be coming.’” The comic, whose real name is Jerry Angelo Brooks, joined the series in its sixth season, and showrunner Larry David immediately sensed their chemistry. “Even our first week working together, he said, ‘It feels as though we’ve been working together for years,’” he explained.

However, he quickly came to the realization that they were all such close f...

Controversial comedian Dave Chappelle is set to return as host of Saturday Night Live on November 12. SNL confirmed during Saturday’s broadcast that Chappelle will host the episode that will air on NBC just four days after the country votes in federal, state and local midterm elections. Rap duo Black Star will join Chappelle as the musical guest. Chappelle has hosted the post-election episode of the show before, first visiting the show after the 2016 election and returning in 2020.
