Don’t tell JB Smoove that he has to cancel the art made by his comedy heroes who have fallen from grace. On this week’s episode of “Renaissance Man,” the funnyman best known as Leon on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” admitted he still watches old Bill Cosby movies and said it’s hard to erase what once gave him motivation.
“If someone has disappointed you, the one thing you can’t give back is the inspiration that they gave you, because it was before their downfall,” he told me. “I used to love me some Bill Cosby,” he said. “This man is just sitting there telling stories. Amazing. And I don’t know if I can stop watching ‘Uptown Saturday Night.’ If I’m turning channels and it’s on, I can’t be like, ‘Oh man, Bill f–ked up, I can’t watch it no more.’ It’s etched in our upbringing.”
