Comedian Jerry Seinfeld announced today that he has collaborated once again with Sony’s video-streaming service Crackle to create a series of brief vignettes dubbed Single Shots. The project is an offshoot of Seinfeld’s Emmy-nominated web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, according to Multichannel News.

Each Single Shot episode (like coffee, get it?) will offer about two-minutes runtime, and will apparently feature the same improvisational comedy that Seinfeld began exploring in his 15-20 minute …Coffee series, in a more clip friendly format. The new series’ first installment – Donuts – is available to watch both on Youtube and via Crackle’s official page, and features back-and-forth chats with Tina Fey, Sarah Silverman, and Brian Regan. Each episode will center around a single topic, with the fried hoops of dough clearly being the focal point of today’s premiere.

Crackle announced back in May that the fourth season of …Coffee would premiere on June 19th. The fifth and latest episode of the series guest-stars Jon Stewart, and previous episodes this season have featured quips and jabs from Aziz Ansari, Robert Klein, George Wallace, and Sarah Jessica Parker. The new Single Shots episodes include both previously aired material from …Coffee as well as never-before-seen footage, company officials said.

HD to 4K: these home theater projectors are up to $2,000 off

The Optoma UHD55 projector.

While TVs are great, if you want to have a large screen TV that goes over 80 inches, you're liable to spend thousands of dollars, and if you want to go over 100 inches, you may not even find any options at all, especially at the consumer level. Luckily, there are a lot of great projectors that can not only hit those targets but exceed them and do it at a much cheaper cost than a regular TV. Even better, there is quite a big sale right now at Crutchfield on home theater projectors, with everything from budget-friendly options to top-of-the-range stuff.

What you should buy in Crutchfield's projector sale
Not all projectors have to be incredibly expensive, and you can grab a great project for a good price with the Optoma HZ40HDR, which is , saving you a solid $450 in the process. It's an FHD projector, although it can handle 4k and HDR sources, and the bulb has a 30,000-hour life span, which is pretty great for a budget-oriented projector. On the other hand, if you want 4k, Optomo has a good budget option for that too, the Optoma UHD35STx, which is a 4k short-throw projector with HDR10 and HLG HDR going , which isn't a massive discount on the usual $1,549, but it's still pretty good.

AirPods Max -- $519, were $549

The AirPods Max are Apple's first attempt at a set of over-the-ear headphones. They got a lot of things right. We love these headphones, even when compared against some audiophile options that prioritize sound quality. The AirPods Max have awesome noise cancelling. Everything Apple learned with the earbud-style AirPods works even better with the cup style of the AirPods Max. Along with great ANC comes a great transparency mode. With a twist of the Max's massive knob, you'll go from complete silence to feeling like you're not wearing headphones at all. The audio on phone calls is great as well, and they pair better with the iPhone than any non-Apple headphones could ever hope to.
