Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee  커피를 마시러 차를 타고 가는 코미디언

[Power Dialog]

Have you ever seen Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfied? It cracks me up.

Sounds hilarious. But seriously, how funny can it be?

Do they spill it on themselves or get into accidents?

No, they don't do any silly slapstick gaps. Jerry interviews different comedians while driving around in one of his famous cars.

If it's so interesting, why have you been holding out on me?

Well, to tell you the truth, I only recently discovered it myself.

Let's watch an episode now. Hey, here's on with Barack Obama! He's not a comedian.

But he is a funny guy. Would you pass up the chance to drive round with a U.S. president just because he's not a comic?
