Former President Obama said: “I have sat across the table from some of the world’s toughest leaders and wrestled with some of our most intractable problems. Nothing prepared me for working with Larry David .”
Larry added: “Once Curbside ended, I celebrated with a three-day foam party. After a violent allergic reaction to the foam, I longed to return to my simple life as a beekeeper, harvesting organic honey from the wildflowers in my meadow. Sadly, one day my bees mysteriously disappeared. And so, it is with a heavy heart that I return to television, hoping to alleviate the loss of my beloved hive.”
