From Car scoops Your Home for Comedy News, Jerry Seinfeld sold his car for one hundred and sixty four thousand dollars. Jerry only revealed that he owned the car the day before the auction ended. This is the nineteen ninety six portion nine to eleven that Jerry Seinfeld drove to his show, twenty six thousand miles on it for a nineteen ninety six car. That’s impressive. Nowhere on the auction page was it listed that the car belonged to Jerry, a decision that he implied was intentional, but apparently Jerry went on Spike’s Car Radio podcast and said, this is the car that I would drive to work when I was doing the series in the nineties.
So if you’re a fan of the show and you want portion memorabilia for the show, this would be the piece. Spike’s Car Radio is a show. Let me see, Oh, Spike is gonna be I’m typing as I talk. Spike’s gonna be Spike Fernst, then his friend Yep. Spike firston Cars, Coffee and Comedy, hosted by comedian and automotive enthusiast Spike Ferriston and featuring Jerry Seinfeld and some others.
Let’s see. The Jerry episode came out a few days ago. Reggie Watts was on in January. It’s three hundred and forty episodes of this. All right, I’m gonna check this out.
Spike’s Car Radio is the name of that one. Jerry explains that after buying the car new, he drove it to the set of Seinfeld every day from ninety six to ninety eight. Those were the show’s final three seasons. Jerry added at the target Top, which was frequently cited as the source of issues by owners, presented no problems for him in his time with the car. The only concernive notice that the front fenders and the fuel door show evidence of paintwork.
It’s unclear why Jerry sold that car. He said he sold seven cars last year and he teased that’ll be selling five cars this year. Hmmm, looks like Conan O’Brien is finally filming that travel show for Max HBO Max Max Max Hbo Hbohbo Max. Conan was in Ireland visiting where his great grandfather lived before great granddad emigrated in the late eighteen seventies. Conan shared some video and let’s listen, this is pretty cool.
I’m just outside the town of Galbali and this is where my great grandfather, Thomas O’Brien lived. This was actually his view and he left his peace of land, came to America with Central Massachusetts and all the rest is a disaster, but anyway, cool to be back.
Speaking of traveling, Trevor Noah caught up with Sean Traveler.
He said he was really excited about Paris. I’d spent my whole life wanting to go to Paris and finally went for the first time a few years ago. I’ve been dying to go back and do shows since, and I’ve always want to do comedy Japan, so that was on my bucket list as well, right now and selfishly traveling back to the places I enjoy. I’ll travel anyway just to go and have one of my favorite dishes, see one of my favorite sites, or hanging out with some of my favorite people. Seeing Traveler was curious how he adapts his work for different audiences, like a joke that works in Tokyo might not work in London.
Dreffor said, to be honest with you, that’s the joy and curse of doing stand up all over the world. I think a lot of my audiences have come to know me as a comedian who caters the show to them when I visit. So if you see my show in London, then you see my show in Scotland. It’s completely different. There may be a few things that overlap, but I really try and cater to the place I’m in.
It’s hard. I try, and I do my best to understand all the cultural nuances. But comedy is all about context, and if you don’t have the context, you might find the joke doesn’t go the way you want to. It’s a tightrope walk and I think that’s what makes stand up comedy fun. Live audiences understand that travel always makes me aware that there’s no one way to be There’s no one correct answer to every problem in life.
You go from one country to the next, and people drive on the other side of the road, and they’re traveling on the other side of the car. They’re eating their meals at different times, in different orders. They speak to each other in different tones and different ways. Traveling is a wonderful way to realize even though you’ve been brought up thinking there’s one way to do things, there are actually many other ways that are just as valid. Jenny Slat has a new stand up special coming out in February.
It is called Season Professional. You’ll find it on Prime Video with the New Hour. Jenny Slat hopes to prove that being brave for love is worth it, even when it comes to pushing out a baby, stalking your therapist, or comedy rule of three, trusting your partner to not destroy you. There is a clip available, but she swears a lot and I couldn’t make it work enough to cut up the whole thing, so I won’t do that. Paul Sheer has a new book.
It is called Joyful Recollections of Trauma. It’s about quote Paul’s often shocking, admittedly messed up childhood and how the experiences of his youth have reverberated throughout his life. Paul has always been unafraid to go there to play naive, cringeworthy characters and viewing them with a disarming charm in humanity that during openness is on display in the pages of this memoir. Nothing’s off limits, from reckoning with his stepfather’s alcoholism, finding self acceptance, to becoming a good father himself. Dennis Miller has a new gig for Fox Nation.
He’ll be the host of The Infomercials That Solda, a nostalgic and poignant look back at the years when infomercials ruled late night TV, featuring interviews with the colorful characters who made these ads so entertaining. Dennis says, I’m very proud to be part of this project. It’s easy to dismiss the Willie Lowmans who hawk products on late night TV is nothing more than easy punch lines, but the infomercials that sold us shows the humanity of these pitch people came from nothing, norm with self belief and perhaps a fine mop made themselves wealthy and famous. It’s the ultimate American success story. Three episodes.
Ester Pivitsky will star in a new comedy film called drug Store June. The log line after the pharmacy in her small town is robbed, a girl who still lives at home with her parents takes matters into her own hands to solve the crime. Well at the same time trying to get over ex boyfriend become more of an adult. Why are mentioning this? Johnny Mack while Esther’s a comedian, so our co stars Bobby Lee, Matt Walsh, Christina p and Al Madrigal Okay, Bill Burn Al Matricol are the executive producers on this.
And I saw a note in an interview with pe Corielli with The Independent Rhode Island. Pete mentioned I’m going to be heading out on a tour with Sebastian Menascalco as well in twenty twenty four, and we’ve been talking about doing a bit of a reality show on our own based on being out in the road. Interesting. That would be cool. Piete’s a good guy.
Worked with him for seventy eight years Natural Comedy News for Today. Like I mentioned, I may or may not put out Tuesday’s episode a few hours later, but I will be here see you tomorrow,
