Drake Bell has an idea for a “Drake & Josh” reboot inspired by “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

In an interview on the “Beyond the Velvet Rope” podcast, Bell said he would be more than willing to reunite with his former co-star Josh Peck for some sort of reboot, noting that his “dream” would be to emulate Larry David’s Emmy-winning sitcom.
