US EditionLarry David Reveals New HBO Series Satirizing the United States; Guest Stars Include Barack Obama | Just Jared: Celebrity News and Gossip
The seven-episode series satirizes 250 years of U.S. history with improv sketches and features Barack Obama among many guest stars, premiering on HBO Max.
- On Friday, Larry David revealed his new HBO sketch comedy series, "Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America," premiering June 26 to celebrate the United States' 250th anniversary.
- The series marks David's first project since "Curb Your Enthusiasm" ended its 12th season, with executive production from Barack Obama and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground production company.
- Bill Hader, Kathryn Hahn, Jon Hamm, and Sean Hayes join the cast, while Obama makes a guest appearance; David reportedly told the former president, "I'm president here," after a creative disagreement.
- Directed by Jeff Schaffer, each episode contains four improvised sketches, and Schaffer noted the show touches upon the political climate throughout history rather than addressing current events directly.
- David satirizes American history through the series, with Schaffer describing it as "Curb Your Enthusiasm in costumes," exploring historical mistakes that repeat over time across the nation's 250th anniversary celebration.
