![]() There was a lot of, “You’re great.” “No, YOU’RE great,” as the two men tooled around in a 2004 Porsche Carrera GT. Overall, however, the once live & dangerous comedian stayed as unplugged and subdued as he’s been in recent years. This is especially true when the former SNL star started getting into his feud with Bill Cosby. There was a bit more in Seinfeld’s conversation with this season’s big “get” - Eddie Murphy. At least he’s not conflicted, but that does tend to make him appear like a smug comedy billionaire - not that there’s anything wrong with that.Īt least it gave that segment some edge. Part of it comes down to Seinfeld’s whole M.O. Part of that is refreshing in this age of professional over-sensitivity. This only added to the general unease of some recent episode where you get the impression that Seinfeld feels he can say and do whatever he pleases and to hell with what anyone thinks. Just to recap: Gervais held back on blurting something offensive and Seinfeld went for it. ![]() Gervais admitted he thought it but didn’t say it and there was a lot “should we keep it in?” banter. Instead, much of the Gervais visit centred around Seinfeld stooping to a cheap ethnic joke. There was no mention, however, of Maniscalco’s career taking off or Gervais’ intriguing new Netflix comedy After Life. With Maniscalco, the two don helmets and putt-putt around on cool Italian Vespa’s. Just bring us up to date or do something different with them. Now, that in itself is not a problem Seinfeld could pick up Letterman or Stern every year and I’d watch. The new batch features return trips for four passengers: Sebastian Maniscalco and Ricky Gervais plus Seinfeld’s comedy pals Barry Marder and Mario Joyner. One danger sign: Seinfeld started having people back for a second ride last season with Alec Baldwin and ther late, great Bob Einstein so honoured. After 82 of these 10 to 15 minute segments, it might be time to pull into a garage and change the oil, rotate the tires and do a filter check. While it is still a bingeable delight, the series is starting to get a little stale. The notion of getting to hitch a ride with Jerry and one of his comedy pals and then be a fly on the wall while they talk shop in a cafe is always a big yes for me.Ī new season of celebrities riding shotgun dropped last Friday on Netflix. ![]() Known for performing on stage with great energy while speaking in a raspy and high-pitched voice, Goldthwait quickly took the comedy world by storm.Ever since Jerry Seinfeld pulled out of his driveway with this idea in 2012, I’ve been a big fan of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. However, at the height of Goldthwait’s career, Bobcat easily was one of the most talked-about comedians and performers in the world. These days, a lot of young comedy fans may not have any idea who Bobcat Goldthwait is.

On top of that, Jerry once infamously felt the need to call Lady Gaga out very publically. After all, when Jerry goes on talk shows, he seems to take great delight in calling interviewers out. On top of that, Jerry has been steadily building a reputation as a grumpy guy in recent years. Even though he is best known as someone who has made the masses laugh for years, Jerry Seinfeld has done some very controversial things over the years.
