As I observed to a friend at the time Seinfeld said this, he has all the edge
of a throw pillow, so what the hell is he complaining about?

A couple years ago, Seinfeld — probably the least offensive successful comic
who has ever lived — made his BS remarks about colleges being too politically
correct for comedy. Since then, I’ve basically tuned him out. I just can’t hear
him anymore without thinking of him as a spoiled whiny rich brat. He might
still be one of the funniest people who has ever lived, but somebody other than
me can laugh at his jokes. There are other shows featuring cars, other shows
featuring comics, and I don’t drink coffee.

“Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” made its Netflix debut a couple of weeks
ago. I’ve seen all the episodes now and I give it mixed reviews.The first
episode is with Zach Galifianakis, whose comedy I love. Galifianakis seems
guarded. And then the episode morphs into “Between Two Ferns,” and Jerry
Seinfeld is guarded. I never finished watching the episode. It was a lousy way
to introduce it to Netflix.Next up is Dave Chappelle and Seinfeld homers here.
Great discussion. Chappelle seemed quite comfortable and I learned some things.
Ellen DeGeneres was third and was “meh.” Mixed feelings for many other
episodes. I like Neal Brennan. He and a Atell are probably the two comedians
whose jokes I steal the most in my personal life Maybe Jim Gaffigan too. But it
was disappointing. Maybe because my expectations were so high. Loved Dana
Carvey. The big surprise was probably Alec Baldwin. He was always a good guest
on Letterman and Howard Stern but he really shines here. Much quicker than I
expected. It ends with the late Jerry Lewis. Seinfeld asks why Lewis lives in
Las Vegas. Lewis said the medical school has some of the best research in the
country. Which is odd, because it was founded in August 2014. He lived in Las
Vegas since the early 1980s, if I recall correctly. Lewis has some charm as a
cranky old man. I guess it’s a victory he held himself together for so long.I
look forward to the next batch, but these were disappointing.
