Comedians and Coffee: Fun and Serious Talks

Jerry Seinfeld has put together 10 interviews as part of his series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee (go here for the promo and better digital output) I have enjoyed each one, but my favorites are Alec Baldwin in terms of pure fun and Michael Richards (Kramer from Seinfeld) for honesty. In the final episode with Michael Richards, Seinfeld brings up the incident from 7 years earlier where Richards fired racial remarks back at the audience, effectively ending his career.  Richards discusses how the incident "broke him down" and he has not done any comedy since.  He also thanks Seinfeld for sticking by his side during the turmoil that followed. 

The good news is that Seinfeld has agreed to do a second season, this time with 24 interviews.  I look forward to more fun and, at times, revealing discussions.

Note:  It is hard to get the video to pull up on Crackle.com.  Just go the main Crackle page, find the list of series videos below, and pull up the one you want to see.
