Larry David, Obamas to Produce HBO History Comedy

Larry David, creator of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and 'Seinfeld,' will write, executive produce, and star in a new six-episode HBO sketch comedy series focused on American history, set to coincide with the U.S. Semiquincentennial in 2026. The show is co-written and directed by longtime collaborator Jeff Schaffer. Barack and Michelle Obama are executive producers through their Higher Ground Productions, marking a high-profile partnership. The cast will feature 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' alumni and notable guest stars, with the series humorously spotlighting overlooked figures and moments from American history. No title or release date has been announced, but HBO has stated the series will offer an irreverent take on the nation's past. Both David and Obama have issued playful remarks about their collaboration.
