"On Curb and on Seinfeld, I was the boss. I'm used to being the boss. And Obama is also quite used to being the boss. Apparently the two clashed over notes, which is not surprising if you've ever heard anything about David's creative process."
"The show will last 7 eps, and each episode will have 4 sketches. Barack Obama's Higher Ground is producing, and Obama will be in a sketch. Other sketches will include Bill Hader and Kathryn Hahn as Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, Jon Hamm and Sean Hayes as the Wright Brothers, and Larry David/Jerry Seinfeld as Lewis/Clark."
Larry David is producing a new HBO sketch comedy series titled Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, premiering June 26 with seven episodes containing four sketches each. The show offers a comedic take on American history for the nation's semisesquicentennial. Barack Obama's Higher Ground production company is involved, with Obama appearing in a sketch. David notes that both he and Obama are accustomed to creative control, leading to creative tensions during production. The series features various historical scenarios, including a sketch about the famous V-J Day photograph examining its nonconsensual nature, Bill Hader and Kathryn Hahn as Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, Jon Hamm and Sean Hayes as the Wright Brothers, and Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld as Lewis and Clark.
