Yes Larry David has millions of dollars, unlimited opportunities in Hollywood and enough resources to come out on top, even when he clearly loses. However, Leon is the biggest winner in the history of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," as he's the only person in the universe who's figured out how to out-Larry Larry.
We met Leon Black (J.B. Smoove) back in 2007, when the Black family is displaced by Hurricane Edna (based on Hurricane Katrina), a vicious storm that dismantles the entire state of Louisiana. Coverage of the news leaves Cheryl David (Cheryl Hines) distraught – depressed and hungry to do something nice for the people of Louisiana. She asks Larry if they could adopt a family who was affected by the storm and take care of them until they got back on their feet. To this, Larry says hell no.
