It still baffles me how 20 years later, you can make a Seinfeld reference in a group of people and somebody is likely to get it and maybe even quote the next line. Jerry Seinfeld’s web show “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” isn’t nearly of the same magnitude as the show about nothing but it’s definitely worth watching.
In each episode, Seinfeld picks up a fellow comedian in a random car as the two of them get coffee. The show is less like a talk show and more like what you might see if you were behind the scenes. In a way, it’s like being a fly on the wall listening to the two comedians’ conversation. Seinfeld has a background with several of the comedians as the two of them reminisce about the past and talk about the world of comedy.
The first episode of the fifth season is set to be aired Thursday, Nov. 6. This season features comedians such as Jimmy Fallon, Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer, Fred Armisen, Miranda Sings, Bill Burr and Ali Wentworth.
Comedians who have joined Seinfeld include Michael Richards who played Kramer in the sitcom, Larry David, Howard Stern, Chris Rock,Jay Leno, David Letterman and many others.
