had the promo clip for this batch of episodes available last week from what I can tell. The guests for this batch of episodes including Julia Louis-Dreyfus are Steven Colbert (with the unshaved grey beard), Bill Mahr, Jim Carrey, Trevor Noah, and Steve Harvey from what I can remember.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus had good memory to recall the little tidbits from the Seinfeld days, which is impressive since she's been on successful shows since those Seinfeld days.
A network would eat that shit up like cake. A network would literally back a Brinks truck up to Jerry's feet for ANYthing he would want to do with them. Fuck, they greenlit the MARRIAGE REF on his involvement and that show was hot garbage.

I doubt he would want to do it. He mentions how bored he gets with shit now. So if he could do 1 show a week or something. But the web show is like being a fly on the wall of a normal breakfast/lunch with friends. Everything is so natural and entertaining and pointless. If you have ever seen Conan's Serious Jibber Jabber on his website. Something like that would just be so awesome. Conan doesnt do nearly enough of them. But Jerry would pull it off even better.

I think the Leno one may be one of my absolute favorites, because you see him as a real car guy, a real comedian (not the hack that ran late night for decades) and a real friend to Jerry. It's really kind of amazing
One thing also worth noting is how many of the older comedians love and respect Pryor. Good stuff

Mainly because Rogan is a great host in his own right for his podcast and he's into cars as well, so it would be interesting to see if they'd share that bond. And they also seem to be different types of individuals as a whole, so I'd wonder how the chemistry would work out. I wonder if Seinfeld is a fan of Rogan as a stand-up act. I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of his act based from what I've seen.
He comes across as really happy and down to earth while still being naturally hilarious. A lot of comedians aren't as funny offstage but Carrey sees everything as material. If I could have coffee with one comedian from this show it would probably be him. I liked his paintings a lot too.
I agree with others that this show should be longer. A lot of the dialogues seem forced simply because they're edited so much to find jokes and interesting quotes. I'd love to see an unedited episode.
It bothers me when comedians feel the need to be 'on' in regular social settings, and it seemed like Carrey was in spurts for the show, if that makes sense. Climbing over his gate and the stuff with the stevia in his tea are examples of what I'm talking about. I guess that's how he is naturally, but it just bothered me. Showing Jerry and the audience his paintings was very cool though, since he didn't have to do that at all. I wonder what the role he's fast for is. Sounds like it might be similar to the Brother From Another Planet since he said it involves him not speaking.

>Whether it's some kind of personality disorder or an intense >need to please.
I hear you, and the show does have multiple cameras involved, so there is a loss of a complete natural environment in that regard, but it still bothers me because it felt like he was performing rather than having natural one-on-one conversation.
But to add to your point, I think it was during an episode a A Dinner For Five where a guest said they went over to Chevy Chase's or some other actor's house and the three main from the Three Amigos were there and all three actors were 'on' for the duration of the event. Something like that sounds extremely grating to be around since there's no stage involved.
at certain points he seemed to be hamming it up, but for the most part, I was surprised at how—for lack of a better term—"deep" he appeared to be. maybe it was a result of the cleanse he mentioned, but he seemed to have an almost spiritual kind of vibe with the stuff he was talking about, even with the paintings. Jerry might'a been taken aback too. it was very cool, especially since I could totally picture him being the kind of performer who can't turn it "off."

In the episode, Carrey was funny without annoyingly trying to be the center of attention. I see your point on the fence bit, but everything else from the backing up while hearing a truck back up, trying on that sweater he found on the ground, to the stevia longshot, seemed like things he would have done without any cameras there.
I stopped acting in high school because I was sick of being around theater kids who were "on" all the damn time. Carrey seemed more down to earth and interested in having a meaningful conversation with Seinfeld. He just also has a knack for seeing jokes where others don't, without seeming try-hard.

He was doing too much. It really got old.

I think he does stuff like that regularly, I remember him telling a story about being out in the Mojave for days on some spiritual awakening fast type thing

Everytime I want to watch his show, I turn the channel each and everytime he gets an applause break when he makes a point. Way too self-congratulatory for my liking.
