King of laughs Jerry Seinfeld is back and this time he’s driving around celebrity comedians in vintage cars getting coffee. Coming to a computer screen near you on 19July, a teaser video for ‘Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee’ is already gathering steam as the web series promises the likes of Alec Baldwin, Michael Richards, Larry David, Colin Quinn and Ricky Gervais as guest stars.

Among the classic vehicles that Seinfeld drives around for his web series are the Triumph TR6, Challenger, and a Volkswagen Beetle, according to a Reuters report. The interview-based show is Seinfeld’s first foray into online entertainment and is a highly-anticipated return for the star of the hit US comedy ‘Seinfeld’.

‘Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee’ is produced by Crackle, the digital unit of Sony Entertainment Limited. Although a spokesperson hasn’t been available for comment, the short trailer for the show has already got fans talking with almost 4000 Facebook followers over the weekend.

One excited fan commented: “Seinfeld is definitely a car guy, and a brilliant comedian, fingers crossed he can make it work, we could all use to laugh more (esp. after the pricing on the 991…).”

Seinfeld, whose career took a backseat following the end of his popular sitcom ‘Seinfeld’, has had a few appearances in shows like ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ and a some voiceover projects. The stand-up comic has also dabbled in production in the short-lived NBC reality show ‘The Marriage Ref’.

Although the web teaser doesn’t reveal much but only translates the name of the show onscreen, it would be refreshing to catch comedians as they are off-screen. We’ll have to wait till 19 July to find out what comedians getting their coffee in cars are all about!
