A still from A Little Inappropriate starring Kanye WestReportedly inspired by the controversial rapper's love of the Larry David-led sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm, the pilot is shot in a similar documentary-like style and sees West play himself as he becomes embroiled in comedically awkward situations due to his fame.For example, A Little Inappropriate's pilot sees the musician meet a young boy through the Make-A-Wish Foundation before later discovering that the child is no longer sick.
Helmed by frequent Curb Your Enthusiasm director Larry Charles, the pilot also features J.B. Smoove and Jeff Garlin from the Larry David-fronted sitcom, alongside recognisable faces like Kym Whitley , P.J. Byrne and Wyatt Cenac . While the reasons why HBO passed on A Little Inappropriate remain unclear, the comedy's 28-minute pilot has been uploaded to YouTube in its entirety.Meanwhile, to read about the Succession-esque series starring Brendan Gleeson that HBO also rejected, click
