When Jerry Seinfeld announced his new season of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee would kick off with President Barack Obama, it was safe to be skeptical. After all, this was a guest who wasn’t a comedian and it was the season premiere! Turns out the President was one of the most entertaining guests in show […]

If there was ever a next generation version of Seinfeld, it would have to star Will Ferrell as George Costanza. When he chatted with Jerry on this week’s episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, the conversation felt like a callback to some famous moments at Monk’s. If only there had been more about Ferrell […]

This week, stand-up Sebastian Maniscalco took a ride with Jerry Seinfeld. Between a beautiful Chevrolet Camaro and a bombastic guest, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee put together a solid episode worth watching, even if it wasn’t extremely memorable. SPOILER ALERT – WATCH THE EPISODE FIRST First off, the 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28 is a phenomenally […]

Between a very cool car and a close friendship between Jerry Seinfeld and his guest, Garry Shandling, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee presented a strong episode this week. Regardless of Shandling’s penchant for complaints, some fascinating stories were told, complete with a bunch of laugh-out-loud moments. SPOILER ALERT – WATCH THE EPISODE FIRST The first […]

Two stand-up specialists joined Jerry for a solid, albeit flawed, episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. It seems like Seinfeld is most comfortable when chatting with others who live in this medium of refinement and that held true for this episode. While Kathleen Madigan earned headline billing on the episode, it was really three’s […]

After President Obama’s stellar performance in the season seven debut of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee last week, Steve Martin had a lot to live up to. Martin may have elicited the fewest laughs of any episode in a while, but that doesn’t mean the episode was bad. It was more of a discussion of the […]

Is it possible to be the leader of the free world and still have a sense of humor? For President Barack Obama, the answer to that question is a definite yes. The Commander in Chief opened up the new season of Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with one of the best episodes in […]

If you grew up in the early 2000s, you have fond memories of playing RollerCoaster Tycoon or its sequels. It struck such a chord with a generation that it continues to be played by those same kids, now college-age. The original game spawned multiple sequels before being put on a decade-long hiatus. The once-dormant series has […]

In 2005, the Food Network launched a reality competition show called The Next Food Network Star, with pretty self-explanatory goals. The show was created with the goal of finding the next Bobby Flay, Emeril Lagasse, or Robert Irvine. It became the American Idol of cooking shows and is currently airing its 11th season on Sunday […]

Last week, I was watching an episode of Beat Bobby Flay on the Food Network. Flay lost to the challenger, which got me thinking, “Is it really that difficult to beat Bobby Flay?” Food Network and the chef himself continue to pass along the idea that Flay is some deity within the chef world, and […]

The season finale of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee dropped late Wednesday night (July 8), and everything fell into place to make this a great episode, possibly even the best one of the season. A lot of great work was done in post-production that made the episode come alive, though an assist has to go […]

Seinfeld has begun streaming on Hulu, but that cash windfall has not stopped Jerry Seinfeld from working on his current show, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. This week’s guest was Trevor Noah, the South African-born comedian who is becoming known as “the guy who is replacing Jon Stewart.” This is a chance to get acquainted […]

When Jerry Seinfeld is really comfortable with a guest, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee can really shine. This week’s episode saw Seinfeld’s longtime friend Bill Maher as his guest. The episode was both engaging and informative, but a reused topic and some awkward editing brought it down slightly. WARNING: If you haven’t seen the episode […]

When I pressed play on this week’s episode of Comedian in Cars Getting Coffee, I really wasn’t sure what I would get. Jim Carrey is a true wild card, both as a person and as a comedian, but he is very funny nonetheless. The pacing of the episode was stronger than last week, though some […]

After last week’s strong showing as a Seinfeld pseudo-reunion with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee failed to live up to the same standard this week. That’s not to say this was a bad episode, but it was not up to the same standard as last week’s season six premiere, especially as one topic […]
