Obama Pins Tan Suit Blame on Larry David in New HBO Show
Former President Barack Obama finally addresses his infamous tan suit controversy on Larry David's new HBO series! Find out how he hilariously points the finger at David. Tune in for the full story and some presidential
Former President Barack Obama is finally clearing the air about one of his most talked-about fashion moments: the infamous tan suit. But instead of taking full responsibility, he's hilariously pinning the blame on none other than comedic legend Larry David!
Obama made the surprising "confession" during a sketch for the new HBO series, "Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness," produced by his own company, Higher Ground, in partnership with David.
The tan suit incident, which occurred in August 2014 during a press conference about Ukraine and ISIS, sparked a surprising amount of debate and even outrage among some critics who deemed the attire inappropriate for a presidential address.
It quickly became a viral moment, overshadowing the serious topics he was addressing.
Higher Ground executive Ethan Lewis revealed that the idea for this sketch came about with the specific goal of "finally closing the book" on the long-running fashion controversy. It seems the former president is ready to laugh off the past and give fans a peek behind the curtain of that memorable day. His appearance promises a dose of self-deprecating humor and perhaps, a definitive (and funny) answer to where that tan suit really came from.
Fans of both Obama's wit and Larry David's unique brand of comedy are sure to enjoy this unexpected collaboration.
It offers a lighthearted look back at a moment that, for a brief time, became a national talking point, proving that even presidents aren't immune to a little fashion scrutiny, or a good laugh about it years later.
