Did you know back in 2008 Kanye West wanted to be Larry David and release his own HBO pilot? He even tapped Curb Your Enthusiasm producer Larry Charles to work on the project:

“It was really good, but … I think it was too hard-core for HBO. Also, HBO’s management shifted. HBO doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to black shows, and I felt like that may have had something to do with it also,” he told the site. “I don’t see a lot of shows about that experience at all. This was very entertaining and we showed it to a lot of people. People gave it a very good response,

The clip became available due to actress Alison Quinn uploading it to YouTube for her acting reel. Based on this limited video I have to say as long as Kanye was willing to make fun of himself this could have actually been a funny show. Watch below:
