‘Life, Larry’ Director Jeff Schaffer on Obama’s Notes and Why Larry David Will Never Retire: ‘He’s Like a Prostitute Who Has Sex When He’s Not Working’

The miniseries ‘Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness’, directed by Jeff Schaffer, debuted this week with Larry David turning the Declaration of Independence into a list of petty grievances, according to Yahoo.

Coverage highlights include The Age’s streaming guide recommending the show, Yahoo noting Barack Obama’s defensive response to David’s dismissal of his notes and praising Obama’s comic timing, and the Los Angeles Times comparing the series to ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ in costume. The Guardian and The Economist offered reviews that frame the series as a blend of American history and Larry’s trademark humor.

Future coverage will track audience reactions and any further commentary from Obama or the show’s creators, as additional episodes roll out.
