Legend of the TV returns to the wheel of a 10th season of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" diff used in streaming on Netflix Friday. , which goes from Sony Crackle, centers on animated conversations between Seinfeld and fellow comedians as they drive in classic vehicles and stop for java cups.
The new batch of 12 episodes, ranging from 15 to 20 minutes, Dave Chappelle, John Mulaney, Alec Baldwin and Tracy Morgan are among the guests. Seinfeld, 64, talks with USA Today about his favorite guests, politics and why he will not have President Donald Trump in the show
Question: Who were you the more than happy to invite?
Jerry Seinfeld: Jerry Lewis, who was one of my idols since childhood. Kate McKinnon, with whom I'm a little obsessed, because she's incredibly talented. Zach Galifianakis and I collided: We took his show, "Between Two Ferns", and my show and crushed them together, it was really fun. It was as if "The Munsters" was going to visit "The Addams Family".
Q: Who make better guests: good friends, or comedians with whom you are less familiar but who you know?
Seinfeld: They are both good. I had Ellen DeGeneres, whom I knew in the early '80s and had not seen for many years, so it was great to see her again. It's fun to see someone you've known since the early days of knock-out and go, "Hey, congratulations, you did it."
Q: Who is on your wish list?
Seinfeld: I really want Jamie Foxx to be on the bill next season. I am a big fan of his – he started as a stand-up. I met him at this event the other night and I was reminded how incredibly funny he was. He does so many other things that you forget that he is really a comedian.
You have repeatedly said that you do not like not become political in your comedy –
Seinfeld: I am not good at this. And I do not like applause "we agree". As a comedian, I do not think it's fun. I like it when people are laughing
Q: Who do you think of smart political humor now?
Seinfeld: I was watching Michelle Wolf's new show (Netflix's 'The Break') yesterday She was breaking down the conversations of some political shows, and I've liked it, it's a bit like schematizing a phrase from school.I like when comedians break things: They say, 'This is how it was presented to you.Now take this watch apart. "
Q: What did you make of the reaction to her whole at the White House Correspondents Dinner in April?
Seinfeld: This seemed to be the reaction she wanted. But the comedians now seem to have other targets. Back in my day, all we wanted was to be funny. Now, people want to be funny, but they also want to be other things.
Q: A few years ago, you called Trump "the gift of God to comedy". Are you still in agreement?
Seinfeld: Absolutely, there is so much material. Can you imagine how "SNL" would be without Trump? It's a lot more fun now.
Q: Will you invite him into your show?
Seinfeld: You must be a comedian). You can not be someone who makes fun of you – you must actually be funny yourself. Until now, we have not really seen this, but we are watching closely. You must go to the White House correspondents dinner and make a funny monologue. This is how President Barack Obama participated in the show. Remember his monologues at correspondents' dinners? Very funny things.
Q: What are you looking at right now? Seinfeld: I watch a lot of baseball comics and old comics on YouTube: Rodney (Dangerfield), Bernie Mac, Rip Taylor. It's my favorite thing to watch.
