It’s been a while since Zach Galifianakis has graced us with a new episode of his mock interview show, Between Two Ferns. But now, after winning an actual humanitarian award for the Funny Or Die series’ Barack Obama interview, Galifianakis is back to make fun of Jerry Seinfeld with a little help from Cardi B and Wayne…
The 20th anniversary of Seinfeld’s divisive finale has inspired no shortage of essays and analyses, with authors examining the show’s impact through any number of subjective means. Enter writer Andrew Thompson and designer Tri Vo, who instead sought to see what we could learn from the hard data. The duo scooped up all…
It’s been three years since the Foo Fighters played David Letterman off for his final installment of Late Show, his long-running CBS late-night chat show-slash-exploration of one man’s surreal contempt for the vast majority of the entertainment biz. Letterman’s kept himself pretty busy in the intervening span of time,…
The concept behind Jerry Seinfeld’s web series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, is so simple that it’s perfectly summed up in its title: A bunch of funny people sip beverages with the prominent stand-up after a quick trip in an automobile to procure them. It’s hardly the kind of premise you imagine requiring much…
Bowing to the pressure of Hollywood’s most relentless journalistic interrogator—Ellen host (and unconfirmed Deep State operative) Ellen DeGeneres—comedian Jerry Seinfeld has acknowledged that a potential revival of his landmark ’90s sitcom Seinfeld is “possible.” “Anything is possible,” Seinfeld admitted after…
A ninth season episode of Seinfeld finds George stealing a photo in order to edit himself, an unwelcome visitor in the pic, out of it. Unfortunately, the photo store employee edits out the wrong guy, then tries to draw him back in “by memory.” Now, Twitter user @HonoredSpirit might be finding himself in a similar…
When Netflix began parceling out viewing data for 2017, we were fully prepared to learn just how many people binged the “Rise Of Steve”—sorry, Stranger Things. But the streaming platform wasn’t content to release such standard info, instead tweeting out shocking revelations like the fact that a few dozen people are…
Hugh Jackman gave his final performance as Wolverine in James Mangold’s Logan, the superb and bittersweet farewell to the character released earlier this year. This was after a 17-year, 9-movie run playing Logan in Fox’s X-Men franchise (that Deadpool “cameo” notwithstanding), so Jackman and his fans are naturally…
Jerry Seinfeld is a guy with a reputation for caring about jokes and comedy above all else (give or take a cup of coffee or a fancy car). Seinfeld doubled down on that humor-over-everything attitude last week, when he went on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and the two ended up on the subject of comedy legend and…
Back in 1999, Jerry Seinfeld and the late David Bowie did a bit during the Saturday Night Live 25th anniversary special sending up their images as above-it-all, coasting megastars. “You gonna do the ‘lost sock’ bit?,” asks Bowie, to which Seinfeld replies with a sheepish nod. In his first stand-up special in 19 years…
Here’s what’s up in the world of television for Tuesday, September 19. All times are Eastern.
Back in September, billboards declaring that “Netflix is a joke” began peppering the avenues of L.A. and New York. Some thought it might be an attack on the streaming giant, as the company has no doubt fundamentally changed the way we consume media and not everybody is happy about it. Turns out, however, that it was…
Every generation thinks the one(s) that comes after is coddled and/or entitled (although we do have to wonder how millennials expect to live in houses made from avocados). “Kids these days” prefaces a lot of observations and jokes, two things that Jerry Seinfeld knows plenty about. But in the first trailer for the…
Netflix is bringing up the rear in streaming announcements, but its offerings are highly anticipated enough that it doesn’t really matter that the platform’s a little late to the preview party. Early this fall (or in the death throes of summer, if you prefer) subscribers will be able to watch Netflix originals like…
It’s been 19 years since Jerry Seinfeld filmed an official comedy special, a time span that’s included some pretty seismic shifts in the comedy world. You wouldn’t know that from the clips Netflix has released for his new special, Jerry Before Seinfeld, though, which sees the legendary comic deliberately looking…
Last week, Jerry Seinfeld and Kesha made headlines together when video of the hug that never was began spreading all over the internet. At the time, it seemed pretty clear why the comedian declined to embrace the Warrior singer; he didn’t appear to know who she was. Although Kesha’s request was harmless enough, his…
Proving that his show’s “No hugging, no learning” maxim wasn’t just a useful writing tool, but also a whole way of life, Jerry Seinfeld showed himself to be a masterful dodger of unwanted embraces this week, blocking a hug request from singer Kesha with practiced ease. The two were on the red carpet at the Kennedy…
This week, Comedy Central and Outside Lands/Bonnaroo organizers Superfly announced Colossal Clusterfest, a three-day comedy festival in San Francisco that will feature a ton of famous comedians, musicians, and “iconic comedy attractions” based on South Park, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and Seinfeld—only one of…
For $400, people can own a miniature replica of Jerry’s Upper West Side apartment from the hit ’90s sitcom Seinfeld. The set replicas are being produced in a limited run of 5,000, and pre-orders will come with a piece of the real prop door to the iconic 5A apartment. Not unlike Elaine discovering someone’s made a…
On January 17 it was announced that Jerry Seinfeld would be taking his hit Crackle series Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee to Netflix, leaving his old home behind. What will that mean for Crackle, a service that now must count on David Spade for its prestige programming? That topic—and whether or not Seinfeld is into…
