Synopsis
A celebration of and behind-the-scenes look at Jerry Seinfeld's groundbreaking streaming series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee--a one-of-a-kind audio collection featuring some of comedy's most iconic voices in excerpts from their appearances on the show Over eleven seasons and eighty-four episodes, Jerry Seinfeld drove around in classic cars, grabbing coffee and chatting with the funniest people alive. He reminisced with the late Garry Shandling; bantered with legends Steve Martin, Tina Fey, and Eddie Murphy; reunited with the cast of Seinfeld; and even paid a visit to President Barack Obama in the Oval Office. These and dozens of other guests talked about the intricacies of stand-up, the evolution of their careers and personal lives, and whatever else popped into their brilliant minds. The result was not only a hilarious collection of casual yet intimate conversations--a rare opportunity for viewers to witness their favorite performers unscripted and unvarnished--but arguably the most important historical archive about the art of comedy ever amassed.
Now that archive is preserved in the form of a carefully curated audiobook collection of excerpts from the show. Seinfeld has handpicked the show's keenest insights and funniest exchanges. Also included is a fascinating oral history--featuring interviews with dozens of crew members, executives, guests, and Seinfeld himself--that details how this scrappy creative experiment landed unprecedented access to the White House, earned multiple Emmy nominations, and helped lead the streaming revolution.
Featuring a newly written introduction by Seinfeld and hours of audio excerpts from the show, this book is essential for comedy lovers, car aficionados, coffee connoisseurs, and Jerry Seinfeld fans.
