Larry David just dropped some pretty, pretty, pretty big news: He's teaming up with a former president for his next HBO show.
The "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator, 78, is set to star in a new HBO "American history sketch comedy" series, which will be produced by former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama with their company Higher Ground, the network announced Thursday, July 10.
The six-episode limited series will also be written and produced by David.
"I've sat across the table from some of the world's most difficult leaders and wrestled with some of our most intractable problems. Nothing has prepared me for working with Larry David," Barack Obama joked in a statement.
In his own statement, David quipped that it is "with a heavy heart that I return to television." The show is timed to the United States' Semiquincentennial, which is in 2026. "President and Mrs. Obama wanted to honor America's 250th anniversary and celebrate the unique history of our nation on this special occasion," the official logline said. "...But then Larry David called."
