00:00Larry David is making his HBO return.

00:03The Curb Your Enthusiasm star is returning to the network a year after the long-running hit aired its series finale,

00:09and this time he's bringing a former president along with him.

00:12David will star in, co-write, and executive produce a sketch comedy series about American history.

00:31and celebrate the unique history of our nation on this special occasion.

00:39I've sat across the table from some of the world's most difficult leaders

00:42and wrestled with some of our most intractable problems.

00:46Nothing has prepared me for working with Larry David.

00:48Meanwhile, David joked, once Curb ended, I celebrated with a three-day foam party.

00:53After a violent allergic reaction to the suds, I yearned to return to my simple life as a beekeeper,

00:58harvesting organic honey from the wildflowers in my meadow.

01:01Alas, one day my bees mysteriously vanished,

01:04and so it is with a heavy heart that I return to television,

01:07hoping to ease the loss of my beloved hive.

01:10The untitled show will run for six episodes, presumably in 2026,

01:14coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S.
