ROBERT B. WEIDE

Weide returns to Curb Your Enthusiasm after a two-year absence to direct his 27th episode of the series. Weide was the Principal Director and Executive Producer of “Curb” for the first five seasons, and directed the original one-hour special upon which the series was based. During that time, he received a Golden Globe award, an AFI Award, eight Emmy award nominations (winning “Best Comedy Direction” for his episode “Krazee-Eyez Killa”), and a DGA Award nomination for his episode “The Carpool Lane.” His triumphant return this season with “Palestinian Chicken” has been lauded by critics across the board.

Reviews for
“Palestinian Chicken”

“Palestinian Chicken” will become a series' classic —one of the funniest 30 minutes of Curb ever put to film.
-- Verne Gay, Newsday

“Palestinian Chicken,” is one of those brilliant episodes the cliché “instant classic” was invented for.
-- Caryn James – IndieWire

An instant classic.
-- Brian Lowry, Variety

Genius. As good as anything the show has ever done.
-- Ray Richmond, DeadlineHollywood.com

“Palestinian Chicken,” is one of the most outrageous episodes ever.
-- Brian Hiatt, Rolling Stone

Curb’s most uproarious episode of the season. One of the best and most satisfying in a while. A savage farce.
-- Matt Roush, TV Guide

Directed by Robert B. Weide, "Palestinian Chicken" pushes its comedy provocation style to envelope-pushing, jaw-dropping levels.
--David Bianculli, NPR

LOL! Very funny.
-- Tim Goodman, Hollywood Reporter

“Palestinian Chicken” is uproarious.
-- Hal Boedeker, Orlando Sentinel

Forget pushing the envelope – “Palestinian Chicken” sets the thing on fire.
-- Shiela Marikar, ABC News

“Palestinian Chicken” may end up in the pantheon of classic Curbs.
-- Edward Copeland, PressPlay

A spirited assault on political correctness.
-- Alessandra Stanley, New York Times

The "did they really just go there?" element that (Curb) thrives on may reach its pinnacle with “Palestinian Chicken.”
-- John Sellers, The Wrap

Hilarious. With ludicrous precision, it manages to lampoon both the Middle East situation and the controversy over the Islamic center near Ground Zero.
-- James Poniewozik, Time

Directed by Curb mastermind Robert B. Weide… back in fine form with vintage Jewish humor.
-- Eric Kohn, ScreenRush.com

Curb returns, kicking ass… sublime and over the edge.
-- Roger Friedman – Showbiz411

Great comedy… joyful and clever.
-- Matthew Gilbert, Boston Globe

New viewers should start watching now. Witty and laugh-out-loud funny.
--Tom Conroy, Media Life

Delectable. An ingenious blend of high wit and low comedy… reveals a heightened ambition and a reach for complexity that exceeds any the series has shown before. (Curb) shows no signs of slowing down.
-- Dorothy Rabinowitz, Wall Street Journal
