“I have sat across the table from some of the world’s most intractable leaders and wrestled with some of the globe’s most intractable problems. Nothing has prepared me for working with Larry David.” Those words from Barack Obama at the beginning of a new teaser for Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, HBO‘s seven-episode limited series, featuring David, and executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama.
HBO also released a couple first-look images of David and Barack Obama, which you can see below.
Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness features comedy sketches about different moments in history. Each episode will feature four different sketches.
Per the logline, President and Mrs. Obama wanted to honor America’s 250th anniversary and celebrate the unique history of our nation on this special occasion. …But then Larry David called.
As we previously reported, in addition to David, the series will also feature the likes of Bill Hader, Kathryn Hahn, Jon Hamm, and Sean Hayes, as well as Obama himself appearing in one sketch. Other Curb stars such as Susie Essman and Vince Vaughan are also expected to appear.
The half-hour limited series is written by David and Jeff Schaffer, who also directs. It is produced by Obama’s Higher Ground with David, Schaffer, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Vinnie Malhotra, and Ethan Lewis exec producing.
Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness premieres Friday, June 26, at 9 pm on HBO and streaming on HBO Max. New episodes will debut weekly leading up to the season finale on August 7.
