Larry David on Barack Obama’s ‘Perfect’ Comedic Timing in New HBO Show and Donald Trump’s White House UFC Fight: ‘I Was Embarrassed to Be an American’

Larry David's new HBO show, "Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America," is set to premiere around the United States' 250th birthday.
