COMEDIANS IN CARS GETTING COFFEE
July 6, 2018  | By David Bianculli

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

 

SEASON PREMIERE: A whole new batch of episodes are dropped today by Netflix – but rush right to the final one in this new series, because it’s a tiny little treasure. Host Jerry Seinfeld goes to Las Vegas and visits, drives around and eats breakfast with Jerry Lewis, in that other iconic comedian’s final screen appearance before he died. Lewis is frail, and less than verbose, but it’s sweet as well as somewhat funny to watch Seinfeld try, try and keep trying to pull stories and insights out of Lewis, who mostly smiles and nods. (Best of all is the post-credits outtake, which has Lewis being so responsive for so long that Seinfeld just laughs.) Oh, and check out which vintage sports car Seinfeld uses to chauffeur Lewis around – it’s the same model, and even the same color, Lewis owned in his superstar heyday.
