'Last Laugh'

Late actor-director portrayed George Washington on latest episode of Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Happiness, a role that was kept secret until its premiere Friday

Rob Reiner used what would be his final on-screen role to bash Donald Trump as the late actor-director posthumously appeared on the latest episode of Larry David’s new HBO show.

Reiner, who was killed along with his wife Michele in December 2025, portrayed George Washington on the July 3rd episode of Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, a role that was kept secret until the episode aired Friday night to kick off the Fourth of July weekend.

In the sketch, Reiner’s Washington delivers a speech specifying why he wouldn’t seek a third term as president, which serves as a foundation for those in the audience — including Larry David and Jimmy Kimmel — to serve up their own barbs aimed at a future president, an “insecure, lying asshole who would even cheat at golf.”
