J.B. Smoove isn't giving up hope, and neither should you ... he's putting the pressure on Larry David to bring back "Curb Your Enthusiasm" for one more season.

J.B. was on "TMZ Live" talking about his new movie, "Barbershop: The Next Cut" ... when we started talking about his other gigs on TV -- he's got a lot of 'em -- and it's clear which one he wants the most.

Larry's on record saying it just isn't gonna happen, but check out this clip ... J.B. is still pushing to get Leon Black and LD back together.

Translation: He's saying there's a chance!

The "Wheel of Fortune" wizard who nailed puzzles with just one letter and took home $76k is about to drop some of that dough on a sports car.

Robert Santoli came on "TMZ Live" to explain how he pulled off a near sweep of every puzzle on last Friday's episode of 'Wheel' -- and his strategy was downright genius. And a lot of hard work.

Robert -- whose day job is working IT at a college prep school -- tells us he's eyeballing a new Mustang ... either red or black. He says he fell in love with Ford's muscle car when he was in L.A. shooting 'Wheel.'

Don't worry, Mom ... the 23-year-old also says he's going to pay off his student loans from Fordham.

1:40 PM PT -- Cops say they found a 1/2 ounce of marijuana hidden in a fake can. Twista came on "TMZ Live" to talk about the arrest.

Rapper Twista was busted for possession of pot Thursday night ... which torpedoed his Indiana concert.

Twista was scheduled to perform at Big Shots in Valparaiso. We're told the Rolls Royce Phantom in which he was riding was pulled over at 10:15 PM, before the concert. Twista, 2 other passengers and the driver waited outside the car as police searched the vehicle and found the weed.

Cops say they stopped the Rolls because it was following too close to a truck. Police approached the vehicle and smelled weed.

All 4 men were arrested.

Twista was on his way to the concert when he was busted. The show, obviously, did not go on.

The rapper was held until 4 AM Friday morning and released after he posted $500 bail.
