Comic Jerry Seinfeld is the creator, executive producer and host of this unique series that features vintage cars, funny conversations and a lot of caffeine. Jerry picks up each guest in a special car -- including the likes of a 1977 Volkswagen camper bus, a 1978 AMC Gremlin, a 1964 Studebaker Avanti, and a 1970 Ford Mustang -- and heads to a cafe or restaurant. While the guests are typically comics, one episode features a drive around the White House grounds with President Barack Obama in a 1963 Chevy Corvette Stingray.

Who better to kick off Seinfeld's foray into this newfound fondness for coffee klatch-dom than his counterpart Larry David? Go to Full Review Jennifer L. Pozner Salon.com 06/19/2019
There's enough playful ribbing and meandering banter in each car and diner scene to keep the average TV fan entertained. Go to Full Review Tania Hussain The Hudsucker 07/10/2024
Overall, the ambiance is retro and feels comfortable, especially with its soundtrack reminiscent of a smooth 1960s laid-back and jazzy-cool vibe. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Uproxx 06/19/2019
Somehow, [Jerry] Seinfeld and Co. have managed to bring pointless banality to a whole new level. Go to Full Review Jack Seale Radio Times 06/19/2019
It's lavishly filmed and, in truth, probably only semi-improvised. But that offhand, in-the-room magic is there. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

susan j @CallMeLulu 04/03/2022 Hit or miss. Some episodes are marvelous and some are boring and/or the chemistry is off between Seinfeld and the comedian. See more 10/13/2021 This is a solid 3 star show, not because i dont like jerry seinfeld or his guests. I'll tell you what this show is, atleast what i think happened before this show started: they wanted jerry seinfeld to host a show, period. So he came down to the office told them some things that can not be done as a host, because lets face it, seinfeld probably doesn't want to host shows, he can host the best show there is but he wouldn't host the guests he isn't interested in. So he told them about "his terms" that he thought everyone would be against, and everyone agreed. Now he has to do show.. Im not saying this is what happened, i m just guessing this happened. I watched it, i kept watching it because seinfeld is funny and his guests are funny. But if this show never existed, it wouldnt make any change, and when it is over nobody will remember it. See more 02/07/2020 I was totally on board until Mel Brooks said "had to hire a black" See more Read all reviews
