Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Netflix
Season Premiere
Jerry Seinfeld has not run out of famous comedians to chat with yet. In the sixth season of his Netflix show, Seinfeld kicks things off with this round’s biggest booking, Eddie Murphy, who the host spends most of the episode convincing to get back into standup comedy. The show at this point is self-aware enough to realize it’s a vehicle for Seinfeld to test drive hot cars and grab meals with some of the biggest stars in the world like Jamie Foxx, Seth Rogen, and Martin Short, but his familiarity with his guests gives the audience takeaways they wouldn’t be able to get on other interview shows.
