Larry David, the creator of ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm,’ is collaborating with former President Barack Obama on a new HBO series, ‘Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness.’ The director of the series, Jeff Schaffer, revealed that David was initially hesitant to take orders from Obama, who is known for his sense of humor.

The Comedy Series

The series is a sketch comedy miniseries that celebrates the country’s 250th birthday by poking fun at events throughout United States history. David, Obama, and other high-profile actors and political leaders make rotating appearances throughout the series.

According to Schaffer, Obama gave David some notes on the series, which David reportedly received with a bit of defensiveness. Obama joked that he was used to taking advice and listening to his advisers during his time in the White House, but David responded by saying he was the ‘president of this’ project.
