Jerry Seinfeld tried (and failed) to take Barack Obama out for coffee

“You’re a comedian with the President going nowhere”

Posted by

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld kicks off the seventh season of his popular web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with his “super special” guest, President Barack Obama. Okay, so he’s not really a comedian (depending on who you ask) but Jerry seems to think he qualifies for the show and who’s really going to argue with Jerry Seinfeld. There are also some obvious logistical problems with wanting to take the POTUS out for coffee, meaning the entire episode happens within the confines of the White House grounds, so this instalment breaks the template all-round. Nevertheless, the pair do have a pretty entertaining conversation about fame, political figures, life in the White House, and, of course, cars.
