Rob Reiner appears in a surprise role as George Washington in the second episode of HBO Max’s “Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America,” a series created by Larry David. Multiple outlets report that the episode is now streaming and includes additional surprise guest appearances. Variety and Deadline both describe Reiner’s casting as part of a “secret” or final appearance connected to the episode’s late-game production details. Variety says Reiner filmed the role a month before he died, framing it as his last recorded contribution to the series. Deadline similarly reports that the episode contains punchlines and information from the installment, including Reiner’s appearance among other guest stars. The coverage also notes that Reiner’s appearance features material aimed at former U.S. President Donald Trump, though the sources differ in how they phrase that framing. Taken together, the reporting indicates that Reiner’s performance in the episode is a late and notable cameo as George Washington, presented within the series’ historical sketch-comedy format and made available to viewers with the episode release on HBO Max.
