Larry David’s new comedy with Barack Obama sounds exactly as awkward as you’d expect

Larry David has a new show scheduled to premiere on HBO on June 26. You can expect it to have all the Curb Your Enthusiasm delights — JB Smoove, Susie Essman, and Jeff Garlin. But it also has newer people being added to the typical David rolodex, none other than Barack Obama. And apparently the two have a dynamic that’s pretty turbulent.

Apparently the two never let any of their interactions go by without a little “ragging.” Obama apparently usually gets the upper hand — a jab here about David’s golf game, a jab there about how much sunscreen David puts on just to walk around. But after years of being the undercard with Obama, the former president finally joined David’s set as an actor — and when Obama tried to give David a note, the two-time Emmy winner reminded him, “I’m president here.”
