That's funny. I just started watching this yesterday. It's on crackle for anyone who wants to watch it on their gaming system or appletv. I watched the first 8 or so episodes. The Michael Richards one was by far my favorite.

This reminds me of Favreau's Dinner for Five. Just interesting conversation. I think the only episode that might not be worthwhile is Seth Meyers and Ricky Gervais.

Watched the first 10 a while back and really enjoyed it. Then he didn't update for a while, so I figured it was dead. Thanks for the reminder!
It's a simple concept, but perfect for anyone who love stand-up.

I really liked both those episodes. The only ones I thought were just OK were the Brian Regan and Joel Hodgson ones.

Ricky Gervais is one of my favorite people in the world. Watching him scared was hilarious.

Oh, that's awesome that there are more!
The Michael Richards one, coupled with the Mel Brooks + Carl Reiner, were my favorites. Ricky Gervais was definitively my least favorite. Generally speaking, I don't find the guy THAT funny, specially next to some of those other names.

Been watching this, all pretty good. Gotta say, I love Louis and Silverman, they made me laugh, but Chris Rock's is the only one to make me burst out.
Don Rickles was also good. I love how he pissed all over the fake set-up of the V.O. phone call immediately.

I saw him do 10 minutes one night as part of Portland's Bridgetown Comedy fest and he was hilarious. Not sure why he wouldn't be able to have a conversation with Jerry, unless it was some kind of anti-comedy stunt on his part. He's friends with Tim Heidecker, so that may not be far off.

Well, not sure what that does for him really. It reflected poorly on his part, and doesn't make me want to check out his comedy one bit. Heidecker's anti-comedy is so odd or ridiculous that it becomes funny. Bob Einstein's episode is a good way of seeming to not care one bit about the show, but still being ridiculously entertaining.

Haven't watched his ep yet but Todd Barry is the funniest comic to be on the show so far. If you can't catch his standup I recommend his eps of Dr. Katz and Flight of the Concords

Yep. It's funny how the whole editing for the episode seemed to be different, like they were trying to get in all the good stuff. I loved how Jerry was able to match Stern's energy and style, without changing his essential self. Last line was a killer.

I would like to see Bryan Cranston, Hannibal Buress, Ilana Glazer and/or Abbi Jacobson, but this is probably unlikely, particularly in the case of the latter two. Norm MacDonald would be great, as would Bill Hader. Outside of Cranston, I'm not certain if Seinfeld is a fan of any of these people, though.
I've also been waiting for the inevitable Julia Louis-Dreyfus episode for a while. It would also be nice to get Jason Alexander (not playing George) back on the show, but that probably won't happen for a while.
Given how Seinfeld is a huge fan of Mad Men, he should extend the format a bit and invite Matt Weiner. He's mentioned his fondness for the show on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and elsewhere; he apparently thinks it's very funny (and, when he was younger, he dreamed of becoming an adman). I think that could be interesting.

Letterman interviewed Seinfeld about the show recently at the Paley Center. Here's the link (http://www.paleycenter.org/brightcove/videos/screening-room-2013a.html?bcpid=1679254821001&bckey=AQ~~,AAAADpP62yk~,CYkGoU DqnqWmJHL5SetwJ75jDx87buG6&bctid=3616426176001).
It's interesting that Woody Allen was asked to be on the show, but his response was that he would think about it. It seems unlikely, but I would really like to see this happen.

Very enjoyable episode. Sarah Jessica Parker isn't exactly funny in the same way that most of Seinfeld's guests have been. But the chemistry she and Jerry have is very sweet.

1) That whole 'glance at the bill, express brief but noticeable alarm, then continue the conversation' bit was so funny. Seinfeld did that in another episode, too, didn't he?
2) "You need me to click twice, I don't even want it anymore [...] you make it one click or I'm out of here!"
3) I also enjoyed SJP's fascination with the idea of everyone lying down and going to sleep at the end of the day. I've had similar thoughts, but it's the kind of thing that can't help but come across as simple, peculiar or spacey. I get it, though. If looked at in a certain way, there is something kind of fascinating about how the seemingly inexhaustible activity of the day -- all of that liveliness, the atomized hustle and bustle of the street -- diminishes into private repose. I guess this is closely related to the fascination gleaned from wondering about any private aspect of the everyday people you pass by on the street. With regards to sleep, though, this perhaps has something to do with how we typically encounter those anonymous people as lively, alert, mobile, and public individuals. There is something a little weird and disjunctive about thinking about the eventuality of, say, the clerk at the convenience store ending up supine on a mattress at nighttime.
4) I love the wistful motivation behind the car purchase.

Wallace physically removing Seinfeld from his bathroom was kind of weird and awkward.
I liked the ongoing commentary about the shorts ("The shorts have gotten so long... another inch and it's pants!").

By the way, for anyone who finished that episode and wants to listen to another Seinfeld-related thing, the David Lynch Foundation posted this video today (brief snippets of it were on YouTube already, but I don't recall seeing the complete video until now). It's an hour long interview focusing on Transcendental Meditation (Seinfeld also offers another rendition of one my favourite bits of his, where he discusses "Night Guy" and "Morning Guy"). It's pretty interesting:

Same here. The vehicle in that episode was definitely one of the most interesting yet.
While this latest season has concluded, Seinfeld went on the Daily Show and announced that he'll be posting very brief episodes as part of what he calls "Single Shots." It's basically a supplemental series of videos where he compiles leftover footage from previous Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee episodes. Each of these episodes will feature unused footage of past guests commenting on a particular question or theme.
I really hope that he manages to get Woody Allen for the next season. Norm MacDonald would be amazing, as well.

Those "Single Shots" ended up being pretty much worthless but anyways Season 5 premieres November 5th. Guests are Fred Armisen, Bill Burr, Jimmy Fallon, Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer, Miranda Sings, and Alexandra Wentworth.
Joan Rivers was scheduled to be the first episode guest but postponed it since she was having a procedure done which ended up being the procedure that she died during.

I looked him up on Wikipedia and I see what you mean, but I wasn't talking about sexism or his religious beliefs. He struck me as a blowhard who thinks he's God's gift to comedy and he doesn't crack a single good joke in the whole episode! Seinfeld basically carries all the jokes here.
