Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: Schaffer Talks Larry David, Obama, and Historic Sketch Comedy

Jeff Schaffer talks about HBO’s limited series Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, a Barack Obama–executive‑produced historical sketch show in which Larry David roams American history in Curb Your Enthusiasm–style bits. The project, born at the Obamas’ request to celebrate the 250th anniversary, uses outline-based writing, on‑location shooting and period costumes to reimagine events (e.g., Lincoln eras, Gettysburg Address) with a comedic twist. Obama’s input was helpful but not prescriptive, and Schaffer hints at more history-driven work with Larry David in the future.
