Although there&#8217;s a good chance we will all wish he had, judging by his next project.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">David is unquestionably one of the all-time great comedy writers, but in recent years, he has had his struggles with a pretty serious case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, something we&#8217;ve seen cloud many a comedic mind over the last decade or so.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">On Thursday, it was announced that David is returning to HBO with a new six-episode sketch comedy series that he will write and star in, commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">While this sounds like it has potential, I can already see this being a six-episode grandstanding on political issues from David. But, hey, I&#8217;m always willing to keep an open mind. That is until I saw that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/category\/barack-obama\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Barack<\/a> and Michelle Obama are producing it, which makes me think the chances of this being nothing but woke slop are fairly high.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/tv\/news\/larry-david-american-history-sketch-comedy-series-hbo-1236451946\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Variety<\/a>, the Obamas will serve as executive producers through their company, Higher Ground Productions, which has produced one or two things I had heard of, a bunch of things I was unfamiliar with, and more Michelle vanity products than any mortal being could stomach.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"668\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/david-obamas.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"title\">Larry David has a new limited series coming to HBO, with Barack and Michelle Obama serving as executive producers. (Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">If the Obamas let Larry David do Larry David, it might be funny even if it veers into &#8220;Orange Man bad&#8221; territory on occasion. But that&#8217;s not the way the former president and first lady do business. They like to let you know they&#8217;re involved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Just this week, Michelle Obama was dragged \u2014 and rightfully so \u2014 for a podcast in which she and actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus waxed poetic about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/culture\/multi-millionaires-michelle-obama-julia-louis-dreyfus-complain-about-how-tough-women-have-america\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">how tough it is being a woman in America<\/a> while Michelle&#8217;s brother sat there doing whatever it is he does; it remains unclear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s a nice guy, but I don&#8217;t know why he&#8217;s there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Anyway, both women are millionaires, with Louis-Dreyfus&#8217; old man having been a multi-billionaire.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">So, self-awareness ain&#8217;t exactly an Obama family strongsuit, and if that seeps into this Larry David sketch show, get ready for something that could make &#8220;Big Bang Theory&#8221; re-runs look laugh-a-minute, must-see TV.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The limited HBO series sounds pretty, pretty, pretty likely to be unfunny and preachy as hell PublishedJuly 11,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":57817,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[185,171,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-57816","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114836625387076119","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57816\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
