Seinfeld picks up more hilarious stars in the ‘Comedians in Cars’ season 8 trailer


Get ready for more comedy in confined spaces. With Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry Seinfeld’s hilarious web series, soon to return, Crackle dropped the season 8 trailer Monday. As usual, the funnyman has a fantastic lineup of guest stars, automobiles, and adventures.

Season 8 will bring viewers along on a variety of excursions, with the trailer giving a preview of destinations ranging from restaurants to a comedy club and even a campsite. Along the way, Seinfeld will be joined by Last Week Tonight host John Oliver, comedienne Margaret Cho, Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, film writer and producer Judd Apatow, stand-up comic Jim Gaffigan, and actor J.B. Smoove.

Naturally, the Emmy-nominated series will be full of humor as Seinfeld and his copilots talk about transgender issues, monkeys, Hitler, shoes, and much more. The trailer only gives snippets of the conversations to come, but knowing the show, they’re sure to be endlessly entertaining. Seinfeld alone guarantees laughs, but adding another comedian riding shotgun multiples the fun.

Like any road trip, Seinfeld’s many miles on the road will be punctuated with the occasional bout of car trouble. At one point, his hubcap is shown to be rolling away while he drives along. To be honest, that is not very surprising when you consider some of the vehicles included in his eclectic bunch.

The series, which began airing in 2012, has featured the likes of Ricky Gervais, Sarah Silverman, Chris Rock, and Tina Fey, among other comedy icons. Their transportation has ranged from a 1952 Volkswagen Beetle to a 2012 Prevost car (basically, imagine a tour bus), and they have ventured to piers, greasy spoon diners, and even the White House.

Season 8 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee will premiere on Thursday, June 16 and consist of six original episodes.

The best movies on Amazon Prime Video (April 2024)
Ritu Arya and Priya Kansara in Polite Society.

Things are admittedly slow on Amazon Prime Video during the final weekend of April. Fortunately, the martial arts action comedy Polite Society should be able to bring you some excitement this weekend. Romantic comedy fans can also check out How to Date Billy Walsh, a film that has entered the list of the top 10 most popular movies on Prime Video.

If neither of these films are for you, don't worry. This roundup of the best movies on Amazon Prime Video has something for just about everyone. And on May 1, a whole new batch of movies will arrive, with even more to come as we inch closer to summer.

The 50 best movies on Netflix right now (April 2024)
Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney in Anyone But You.

Netflix couldn't have asked for a better late April gift than the streaming premiere of Anyone But You. Thanks to Netflix's deal with Sony, 2024's blockbuster rom-com is already on top of the list of the most popular movies on Netflix, leaving Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver in second place. But things could be much worse for Rebel Moon – Part Two, which is performing well a week after its debut.

The other new addition for the week is King Richard, a sports drama starring Will Smith that's appearing on loan from Warner Bros. Discovery. It's also one of Netflix's top movies of the week, which suggests that the film may find sustained popularity on this platform that it didn't get on Max.

The cast of Dead Boy Detectives.

For the final weekend of April, Netflix has debuted one last original show for the month: Dead Boy Detectives. This series was a bit of a gamble because it was dropped by Max. And it might be humiliating for the Warner Bros. Discovery regime if Dead Boy Detectives goes from being a castoff to a breakout hit. Netflix may be able to create lighting in a bottle, but it doesn't always work out, as exemplified by the disappointing performance of the resurrected Girls5eva earlier this year.

The other new addition this week is White Collar, a forbearer of Suits on the USA Network that ended 10 years ago. All six seasons of White Collar are now available, and it's already one of the most popular shows on Netflix. If White Collar can come anywhere close to the success that Suits has had on Netflix, then we can probably expect to see more shows like this in the future.
