Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee

If you’re anything like me, this will make your freaking day. I’m more than a little late to the party (how have I not seen these!) but better late than never. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to watch old comedians kvetch, it’s really indescribable. I feel the same sort of giddy, warm and fuzzy happiness that I do when sitting front row at a Wayne Newton or Tom Jones concert. Weird? Sure. Again- unexplainable. Is it strange that I would rather go to a Don Rickles show than a Louis CK show. Probably. Hey, what can I say?

Jerry Seinfeld’s webisodes of comedians in cars getting coffee is an awesome little glimpse into the old (and sometimes new-ish) Hollywood comedy guard. My best friend Amy sent me this one featuring Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks. I won’t spoil it for you, it’s a treasure. All I have to say is that Carl Reiner has his bestie Mel over every night to watch Jeopardy and a movie (anything where they say “secure the perimeter”) while they eat dinner on tv trays. I mean seriously, do you love that or what?

Watch and smile.

True Story: I once played charades with Mel Brooks- one of the greatest nights of my life. Charades and the King of Comedy in one night? Seriously ridiculous.
