Obama Teases New HBO Show: ‘Nothing Has Prepared Me for Working with Larry David’
The seven-episode series will feature four sketches per episode and appearances by Barack Obama, Bill Hader and Jon Hamm.
- HBO released a teaser for 'Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness,' a seven-episode limited series featuring Larry David and Barack Obama, set to premiere Friday, June 26 at 9 pm on HBO and HBO Max.
- Produced by Higher Ground, the series aims to honor America's 250th anniversary, with Barack and Michelle Obama serving as executive producers alongside David and Jeff Schaffer, who writes and directs.
- Each episode features four sketches examining different historical moments, with guest stars including Bill Hader, Kathryn Hahn, Jon Hamm, Sean Hayes, Susie Essman, and Vince Vaughan alongside Obama in one sketch.
- In the teaser, Obama jokingly compares working with David to dealing with world leaders, while David quips, "Because if they see your name, they'll be more inclined to help."
- Director Jeff Schaffer noted that the characters David plays "didn't change history. In fact, they were largely ignored by history," positioning the show as a comedic examination of overlooked moments during America's Semiquincentennial.
