Larry David appears to take a pointed shot at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a new HBO comedy episode, according to Entertainment Weekly. The reported moment has drawn attention because David’s character seemingly tells Kennedy to “drop dead” while also dismissing him with the line, “You’re not a doctor.”

The exchange is said to appear in David’s sketch comedy project, Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America. Based on the available description, the scene plays like a direct jab at Kennedy and his public persona, turning a topical figure into the target of David’s signature confrontational humor.

The report also frames the joke as notable because Kennedy is described as a former friend of David. That personal context gives the scene extra weight, especially as viewers parse whether the bit is simply political satire, a personal dig, or both.

With only a limited excerpt available, the full setup and tone of the segment are not completely clear. Still, the headline moment has already positioned the HBO show as a fresh source of controversy and conversation around Larry David, RFK Jr., and the line between comedy and real-life fallout.
