Barack Obama made an acting cameo in the series finale of HBO’s “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness”, revisiting the criticism he received for wearing a tan suit at a 2014 press conference. The sketch recasts Larry David as the person responsible for the choice, turning a long-running political-media controversy into a self-aware comedy scene.

The show, produced by Obama and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground company, follows David inserting himself into major moments in US history. In the sketch, David spills a mango smoothie over the navy suit Obama intended to wear, persuades him that it is “casual Friday” and encourages the tan alternative; co-creator Jeff Schaffer said Obama also improvised material during filming.
