Barack Obama, Larry David partner for new HBO historically based sketch comedy series

David then enters the teaser, referring to Obama as "44" and jokingly asking if he could list him as an emergency contact.

"Well, because if they see your name, they'll be more inclined to help," David said.

Per Deadline, the logline for series reads, "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."

The series will feature actors such as Bill Hader, Kathryn Hahn, Jon Hamm and Sean Hayes as well as Obama himself.

"Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness" will premiere on June 26 with new episodes airing weekly.

"[W]e were in partnership with Netflix," Obama said. "We're in a process now of transitioning to a more independent [future] where we can work with a bunch of different studios."
