Curb Your Enthusiasm is an American comedy series starring Seinfeld writer, co-creator, and executive producer Larry David as himself. It is produced and broadcast by HBO. The show features a large cast of recurring characters. Frequently recurring charactersRichard LewisRichard Lewis (as a fictionalized version of himself, Season 1–) is a neurotic stand-up comedian who has recently recovered from alcohol and drug problems. Richard is one of Larry's oldest and closest friends, both having moved from New York City to Los Angeles to pursue careers in comedy. Despite this, his relationship with Larry is often volatile and complicated. Often, Richard becomes the victim of Larry's follies, causing Richard to blame Larry for almost everything wrong in his life. He is usually more sensible and moral than Larry. He has also had numerous very attractive girlfriends over the course of the show, which Larry often tends to offend or clash with in some way. Richard Lewis first appeared in the show's first episode (after the pilot), "The Pants Tent." Ted DansonTed Danson (as a fictionalized version of himself, Seasons 1, 3–7, 9) is an old friend of Larry's despite the fact that Larry often insults him behind his back. When Cheryl and Larry separate, Ted chooses to side with Cheryl as the two often do charitable work with the NRDC. Danson often appears with his real life wife, Mary Steenburgen, who also plays a fictionalized version of herself. A sub-plot in season 9 involves Ted's separation from Mary, and his dating Cheryl, much to Larry's dismay. Ted invests in a restaurant with Larry and Jeff in season three, but he ends up leaving the project because he is upset with Larry. Larry and Ted constantly have problems exchanging gifts such as when Larry gives Ted a shirt with a hole in it, something Ted calls "a problem" rather than a gift. In the episode "The Freak Book," Larry gives Ted a book titled Mondo Freaks, which offends Ted and Mary, then crashes Ted's birthday party by bringing his driver in, who gets drunk and harasses Mary. In "The Hot Towel," Larry gives Ted and Mary a $300 gift certificate to a restaurant, but gets offended when he sees them using the gift certificate with Jeff and Susie instead of with him. Danson first appeared in the show's second episode, "Ted and Mary." Sammi GreeneSammi Greene (Ashly Holloway, Season 2–) is Jeff and Susie's daughter, who is now an adult. Sammi has developed an interest in singing publicly, even though she does not possess much talent. When Sammi sang at a party hosted by Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen, Larry David interrupted her song to save the crowd from having to listen to it, but he ended up upsetting the partygoers. Sammi, as a child, once said she would choose her dog, Oscar, over her father, if the two could not live together. Sammi was originally a boy, being only spoken of in the first episode of the series "The Pants Tent." She first appeared in the Season 2 episode, "The Doll." In the closing credits, her name is sometimes spelled "Sammy" or "Sammie". As of season 9, she is engaged to be married to an Afghanistan War vet, whom Larry refuses to thank for his service in one episode. Nat DavidNat David (Shelley Berman, Season 3–7) is Larry's Jewish widowed father. He usually tends to make mistakes that Larry calls him out on.

Marty FunkhouserMarty Funkhouser (Bob Einstein, Season 4–9) is one of Larry's oldest friends.

He has a wife, Nan, and one son, Joey, who is transgender and bisexual, as well as a sister with mental health issues named Bam Bam (Catherine O'Hara). He is often very methodical and by-the-book about most of his actions and puts much emphasis on family first, making sure the entire family takes one opinion on a certain matter. Despite that, he has been known to take credit for things which may or may not necessarily apply to him. Funkhouser is an avid golfer, golfing at the same country club as Larry and Jeff. Funkhouser first appeared in the fourth-season episode "The Weatherman." Uninvited, he turns up to Seinfeld reunion rehearsals, much to Larry's disdain, and befriends Jerry Seinfeld.

Larry blames Norm when he receives a reprimanded by the club for having a messy locker. Norm was the slowest golfer on the course, so others dreaded golfing behind him, until Larry, not knowing Norm had high blood pressure, yells at him and tells him off for his slow golfing.
