Larry David bristled at some of Barack Obama's creative notes on new comedy collaboration, director says

Comedian Larry David was reportedly reluctant to take orders from former President Barack Obama as the pair were filming their new HBO series — marking perhaps the first time the leader of the free world was critiqued on his comedic timing. 

Speaking with Variety, the director of "Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness," a new HBO series from Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions, detailed how the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator found himself butting heads with the former commander in chief.
