Per a logline for the present from HBO, “President and Mrs. Obama needed to honor America’s 250th anniversary and have a good time the distinctive historical past of our nation on this special day… However then Larry David referred to as.” Schaffer additional previewed the sequence, saying: “The characters Larry is enjoying didn’t change historical past. In actual fact, they have been largely ignored by historical past. And that’s a very good factor.”

“I’ve sat throughout the desk from a number of the world’s most tough leaders and wrestled with a few of our most intractable issues,” President Obama mentioned in a press release. “Nothing has ready me for working with Larry David.”
“As soon as Curb ended, I celebrated with a three-day foam get together. After a violent allergic response to the suds, I yearned to return to my easy life as a beekeeper, harvesting natural honey from the wildflowers in my meadow. Alas, someday my bees mysteriously vanished. And so, it’s with a heavy coronary heart that I return to tv, hoping to ease the lack of my beloved hive,” added David in his personal assertion.
