Late director Rob Reiner makes a posthumous on-screen appearance in Episode 2 of HBO Max’s “Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America,” starring Larry David. Multiple outlets report that Reiner portrays George Washington in a role that is kept secret until the episode’s release on Friday. In the sketch, Washington delivers warnings about presidential term limits, with a message that no man should serve more than two terms and that future presidents should follow that example. Several reports say the cameo is widely interpreted as a veiled reference to President Donald Trump, despite the sketch not naming him directly. Variety and other outlets also describe the cameo as Reiner’s final role, filmed about a month before his death. Hollywood Reporter and Rolling Stone note the episode includes various surprise guests, including Jimmy Kimmel and others, and that the series is executive produced in part through Higher Ground, the Obama family’s production company. Breitbart and other outlets present the appearance as a “last laugh,” but the underlying shared point across sources is that Reiner’s term-limit message in the George Washington role is being read as aimed at Trump.
