*HBO has unveiled a teaser for “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness,” a new limited comedy series created with Larry David and produced through Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground banner, Deadline reports.

The preview begins with Barack delivering a joke about collaborating with the longtime comedian and writer. “I have sat across the table from some of the world’s most intractable leaders and wrestled with some of the globe’s most intractable problems. Nothing has prepared me for working with Larry David.”

The network’s description suggests the original patriotic concept took an unexpected turn when Larry David got involved, as the logline states: “President and Mrs. Obama wanted to honor America’s 250th anniversary and celebrate the unique history of our nation on this special occasion. …But then Larry David called.”
