Over eleven seasons and eighty-four episodes, Jerry Seinfeld drove around in classic cars, grabbing coffee and chatting with the funniest people alive. The result was not only a hilarious collection of casual yet intimate conversations but arguably the most important historical archive about the art of comedy ever amassed.
Now that archive is preserved in the form of a carefully curated audiobook collection of excerpts from the show. Seinfeld has handpicked the show’s keenest insights and funniest exchanges. Also included is a fascinating oral history that details how this scrappy creative experiment landed unprecedented access to the White House, earned multiple Emmy nominations, and helped lead the streaming revolution.
My Review
I enjoyed listening to this on audio. It was a good companion to my exercise routine.
I really appreciated the different comedians’ voices on the audio. It’s like I was listening in to conversations between them. You get to hear some “behind the scenes” stories as well. It makes for a fun escape from reality for a few hours. My one complaint was that it was sometimes a bit difficult to hear, but it was mostly easy listening.
It made me laugh and that’s always a good thing. It's a "who's who" of the best comedians around.
