'The Larry David Story' Canceled Hours Before HBO Premiere -- Here's Why

"The Larry David Story" got pulled from its schedule only a few hours before its expected release.

Fans who have been waiting to watch "The Larry David Story" were left dismayed after HBO announced the show's postponement on Monday evening. According to the network, David himself requested the cancelation of the show.

HBO Documentaries' official YouTube channel said, "The #LarryDavidStory on @HBOMax is being postponed. Instead, Larry has decided he wants to do it in front of an audience. Stay tuned for more info."

"The Larry David Story" is a two-part documentary series that will tell the life of the 74-year-old TV personality. But as reported by Deadline, David was not happy with the final product that he now wants to do it with a live audience instead.

It seemingly did not reach the comedic legend's expectations at all despite its interesting trailer released last month. David said in the previous clip, "I never thought of myself as funny. Anything I was associated with that could be successful was a shock."

HBO nor its representatives have not commented on the development yet. The trailer has also been made private as of Tuesday morning.

Unfortunately, the postponement of the flick means people would not know what David stored for them - at least, not yet.

The trailer piqued the audience's interest as it also featured his friend and collaborator, Larry Charles. In the sneak peek, David gets candid about his personal and professional lives. He also mentions his early days as a not-so-funny Brooklyn kid who grew up to become America's favorite misanthrope. 

David was set to discuss his iconic work on TV series, including "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm." He finished working on "Seinfeld" in 1998. From there, he created "Curb Your Enthusiasm" for HBO in 2000.

"Twenty-five years old, I didn't know what I wanted to do. Well, what do you do when you're talking and people are laughing? You do comedy," David said. "I never thought of myself as being funny. Anything I was associated with that could be successful was a shock."

Larry David began his career in the 1980s when he served as a stan-up comedian. He then landed his first television gig in 1984 on "Saturday Night Live."

It remains unknown whether David would still allow the docuseries to air sooner or later.
