Remember when Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander were spotted outside Tom's Restaurant a few weeks ago?
That sighting — which Seinfeld later teased as a Seinfeld reunion —turned out to be the two former co-stars filming an episode of Seinfeld's web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee essentially in character.
A short bit of it was used for a teaser commercial during the Super Bowl on Sunday night, which you can watch above. And (SPOILER ALERT) there's a special guest who eventually joins them.
Fox approached Larry [David] and me about doing some kind of Seinfeld reunion for the halftime broadcast because of the New York connection. So we thought throwing Jerry, George, and Newman into a Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee was a fun way to do it. Larry and I wrote the script in one sitting, just like old times, and working with him, Jason, and Wayne [Knight] was a total blast as it always was.
