Curbcast Presents: Life, Larry & the Pursuit of Unhappiness - Ep. 5 Lincoln

Curbcast: Life, Larry & the Pursuit of Unhappiness Ep. 5
LeaguePodcast

Curbcast is Back for LifeLarryAmerica! Welcome back to our breakdown of Larry's brand-new sketch comedy series, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: an Almost History of America. Executive produced by 44, this series takes historical storytelling to a completely different level. You can follow the official show hashtag #LifeLarryAmerica to stay connected with the project.

In Season 1 Episode 5, titled "Lincoln," Larry tackles two iconic historical moments with classic Curb-style absurdity. Dursin and Clay kick things off at the O.K. Corral lot with Timothy Olyphant as Wyatt Earp and Don Johnson as Doc Holliday. Larry’s lack of "knot confidence" leads to a horse pig-parking dispute with Marc Menchaca’s cowboy Clanton, turning a historic 30-second shootout into an agonizing logistical debate over start times, pacing, and blacksmith appointments. Then, Bill Hader shines as Abraham Lincoln in the Oval Office and Ford's Theatre, trying to duck out on a five-cent Appomattox spelling bet while dealing with a missing yellow scarf. Kathryn Hahn brings unhinged energy as Mary Todd Lincoln in full grief mode, Seth Morris demands White House evictions as a suspicious Andrew Johnson, and Jay Renshaw makes a brief, awkward hallway bump as John Wilkes Booth.
