Larry David has lifted the lid on his HBO sketch comedy series that he’s making with President Barack Obama.
The Curb Your Enthusiasm creator and star has revealed the name of the show and its premiere date alongside a trailer of the show.
Life, Larry & The Pursuit of Unhappiness will premiere on Friday June 26 at 9pm.
Details of the seven-episode limited series, which features comedy sketches about different moments in history, were unveiled at SXSW, where David was talking with his colleague Jeff Schaffer. Each episode will feature four different sketches.
In the trailer, which you can see above, David is playing a sailor moments after the famous V-J Day in Time Square photo by Alfred Eisenstaedt that shows a U.S. Navy sailor kissing a woman in the street after victory over Japan. As with most things David, it does not go well and he’s soon labelled a “pervo-Nazi”.
The series will also feature the likes of Bill Hader, Kathryn Hahn, Jon Hamm and Sean Hayes as well as Obama himself appearing in one sketch. Other Curb stars such as Susie Essman and Vince Vaughan are also expected to appear.
The half-hour limited series is written by David and Schaffer, who also directs. It is produced by Obama’s Higher Ground with David, Schaffer, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Vinnie Malhotra and Ethan Lewis exec producing.
It marks the first project that David has worked on since Curb Your Enthusiasm ended with its 12th season.
