Larry David annoys President Barack Obama in ‘Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhapppiness’ teaser

May 7, 2026 by WDNY Radio

We have our first look at the new sketch comedy series from Larry David and the Obamas.

HBO has released a teaser trailer for its new series Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhapppiness. The show is produced by former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama’s production company, Higher Ground.

“President and Mrs. Obama wanted to honor America’s 250th anniversary and celebrate the unique history of our nation on this special occasion,” according to the show’s official longline, “But then Larry David called.”

The trailer begins with Barack Obama making a direct-to-camera address.

“I have sat across the table from some of the world’s most difficult leaders and wrestled with some of the globe’s most intractable problems. Nothing has prepared me for working with Larry David,” Barack Obama says. “I’m just a producer on this show, so I don’t have to deal with him day to day. But still, it’s a lot.”

At the time the project was announced in July 2025, David released a statement on his decision to return to television after the end of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

“Once Curb ended, I celebrated with a three-day foam party. After a violent allergic reaction to the suds, I yearned to return to my simple life as a beekeeper, harvesting organic honey from the wildflowers in my meadow. Alas, one day my bees mysteriously vanished,” David said. “And so, it is with a heavy heart that I return to television, hoping to ease the loss of my beloved hive.”

David and Jeff Schaffer wrote the series, which will feature a mix of Curb Your Enthusiasm actors and other noteworthy guest stars. Schaffer will direct the show.

Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhapppiness premieres June 26 to HBO and HBO Max.

Suspects arrested in M Apple delivery truck hijacking

Suspects arrested in $1M Apple delivery truck hijacking — Three individuals were arrested in New York on May 7, 2026, for their roles in a January 2026 armed hijacking of a truck making a delivery at the Apple store in the Americana shopping center in Manhasset. (Department of Justice, Eastern District of New York)

(NEW YORK) — Three people were arrested Thursday in the January armed hijacking of a truck making a delivery at the Apple store in the Americana shopping center in Manhasset, New York City.

The delivery truck was filled with Apple merchandise valued at more than $1 million. The stolen goods included hundreds of devices and other accessories, including MacBooks, iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches, federal prosecutors said.

Alan Christhofer Cedeno-Ferrer, Michael Mejia-Nunez and Ennait Alexis Sirett-Padilla are accused of hijacking the truck and forcing the delivery workers to drive to a secluded location where they made off with more than $1.2 million worth of Apple products.

Victims were preparing to unload the merchandise when a black Honda Accord pulled up to the delivery truck. Three masked men, armed with handguns, got out of the car and approached the victims, according to court records.

They forced victim-1 into the back of the truck and zip-tied his hands. Victim-2 was ordered at gunpoint, into the driver’s seat to drive the truck. He was directed to a secluded parking area behind an office building less than a half mile away and then ordered into the back of the delivery truck with Victim-1, where his hands were also zip-tied, according to prosecutors.

The Accord and the delivery truck were followed to the location by a Home Depot box truck, authorities said. As captured by surveillance cameras, the Home Depot truck backed up to the rear of the delivery truck, so the cargo sections were aligned, according to prosecutors.

The Apple merchandise was then moved from the delivery truck to the Home Depot truck. Once they finished, they closed the cargo door to the delivery truck with the victims inside and left the location. One of the victims was able to free himself and call 911, according to prosecutors.

The defendants are expected to appear in federal court later Thursday, when federal prosecutors will seek their detention.

The fan-voted 52nd American Music Awards, hosted by Queen Latifah, will air on CBS and Paramount+ on May 25 live from Las Vegas. Taylor Swift is this year’s leading nominee, with eight nods, followed by sombr, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Dean and Morgan Wallen with seven each.

L7 announces The Last Hurrah tour

May 7, 2026 by WDNY Radio

L7 is once again calling it quits.

The “Pretend We’re Dead” rockers have announced The Last Hurrah farewell tour, kicking off Oct. 9 in Phoenix. The trek is currently scheduled through a Nov. 7 stop in Salt Lake City.

Presales begin Friday at 10 a.m. local time, and tickets go on sale to the general public on May 11 at 10 a.m. local time.

For the full list of dates and all ticket info, visit L7TheBand.com.

L7 was originally active from 1985 to 2001. They put out six studio albums during their original run, including 1992’s Bricks Are Heavy.

In 2014, the lineup of vocalist Donita Sparks, guitarist Suzi Gardner, bassist Jennifer Finch and drummer Demetra Plakas reunited, and they put out another album, Scatter the Rats, in 2019. They also released a documentary called L7: Pretend We’re Dead.

“When L7 decided to release a documentary in 2015, we thought maybe we would take one last victory lap around the sun by playing some shows,” Sparks says in a statement. “Instead, that lap turned into eleven more years of touring, sweat, new music, and reconnecting with the fans who made this all possible in the first place.”

She continues, “Looking out into the crowd seeing longtime supporters rocking out next to a new generation of L7 fans has been the most powerful and humbling part of this chapter. We are deeply grateful and ready to give our audiences one last, loud, fun, and hopefully unforgettable night of rock & roll.”

Rapper Kodak Black arrested on drug trafficking charge

May 7, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Rapper Kodak Black was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly trafficking MDMA in Florida last year, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

The 28-year-old artist, born Bill Kapri, is awaiting a court hearing Thursday afternoon on his drug trafficking charge for the alleged incident that took place during a Nov. 24, 2025, police search in Orlando, Florida.

Officers responded to a 911 call about gunshots and searched vehicles that were in the vicinity of the incident, according to the police report.

Kapri approached the officers and observed them searching the vehicles, the report said. The affidavit also alleged police located a bag in the trunk containing 56 grams of cannabis in sealed marked cannabis bags and a metal container containing a pink pill substance.

The sheriff’s deputy alleged in the report that a “pink pill” that tested positive for MDMA was found during the search.

An officer also said he allegedly found a bag containing Kapri’s ID, money and a bottle of Promethazine Hydrochloride, according to the report.

The report included an image from Kodak Black’s Instagram page that had a pair of pink scissors and a pink bag, which investigators alleged was uncovered during the search.

“Everyone on scene was asked if the bag or its contents belonged to any of them, and all denied ownership, including Bill Kapri,” the report alleged.

“When Kapri was informed of the money in the bag, he attempted multiple times to have the money turned over to him, claiming it belonged to his business. Kapri, however, would not claim the bag or any of its contents,” the report said.

Kapri’s attorney did not immediately respond to ABC News for comment.

Neil Young gives update on new album with The Chrome Hearts

May 7, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Neil Young is giving fans an update on his upcoming new album with his band The Chrome Hearts.

In a post on his Archives website, Young writes that he recently played the album, Second Song, for his label, Reprise Records.

“It was a celebration,” he says of the playback. “I have been doing this for about 60 years and am so thankful to still be doing it in these days.” He added, “The album is quite special to all of us who made it together.”

Young previously revealed that the album would feature five new songs, plus three other unreleased tracks that were 60 years old, but it appears that may have changed. A caption under a photo of Young and the band in the studio says the album’s made up of seven songs in total, “five written recently in 2026 and 2 unheard ones from 1964.”

“I can’t wait until you hear this album,” Young writes. “Music is good for the soul and this one is special.”

“So love to you all. I hope you are well and happy,” he concludes the post. “These days we have a lot to worry about but we still have much to celebrate. Families, love, life.”

Young didn’t say anything about when the album may be released. It will be the follow-up to 2025’s Talking to the Trees, his first album with The Chrome Hearts.

In the meantime, Young and The Chrome Hearts are releasing a live album, as time explodes, on May 29. It features performances recorded during The Love Earth Tour 2025 that hit Europe, the U.K., the U.S. and Canada.
