HBO releases a teaser for its upcoming series “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness,” a seven-episode sketch show starring and created by comedian Larry David. In the preview, former U.S. President Barack Obama appears in a video posted online and describes his experience working with David as unlike anything he has done before. Obama says he “sat across the table from some of the world’s most difficult leaders” and worked through “intractable problems,” but adds that “nothing has prepared me for working with Larry David.” Multiple outlets report that Obama is also one of the show’s producers. The teaser highlights the premise of the series through the contrast between Obama’s political experience and the comedic challenges presented by David. The Independent, The Hill, Deadline, and Variety all reference the same quoted lines from Obama in the teaser and identify the program, its creator and star, and its format as a sketch series. First-look images were also reported by Deadline, alongside the release of the teaser.
