Last week, we saw the teaser for Jerry Seinfeld's new web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. From what we could gather from the little info available, a bunch of high-profile guests—including Larry David, Ricky Gervais, Colin Quinn, Bob Einstein, Michael Richards and Alec Baldwin—would be joining Seinfeld for rides in his classic car collection. Now, a new promo (which you can watch below) gives a lot better indication of what the series will be like—and as David puts it, "you have finally done a show about nothing."
So it seems Seinfeld WON'T be spending all of the series in one of his ridiculous classic cars—there'll be plenty of footage of the comedians shooting the shit in various coffee shops. Already, we're most excited for the David episode—as was proved in the seventh season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, the two still have a hilarious, easy going chemistry that brings out the best in Jerry.
And what's more Larry David than refusing to get coffee on a show about drinking coffee: "I can talk just as well holding this cup [of Herbal Tea] as if there were coffee in it. What's the difference?" David asks. Seinfeld's response: "We go to an ice cream shop, I get a cone, and you get a salad. That's the difference. And you go, 'What? I'm eating, you're eating!'"
