Seinfeld Hits The Web, Still Talking About Nothing

Jerry Seinfeld’s new series is called Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, and the promos promise exactly that. The comic toodles around in his vintage wheels, drinking java with his pals Alec Baldwin, Michael Richards and Larry David, and discussing (among other things) the effrontery of ordering herbal tea when invited out for coffee.

But the next act from the man behind the most popular sitcom on television won’t be on television. It’s a webseries.

“I don’t know if he’s looking for a big hit, but it feels like he’s going for something cool and fun for himself,” says David Wild, the author of Seinfeld: The Totally Unauthorized Tribute (Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That). “I expect to love it myself.”
