In the latest installment of his web series “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” host Jerry Seinfeld welcomes Tina Fey into his borrowed red 1967 Volvo for a trip to get java in Harlem followed by a gobbling of “cronuts” and other pastries downtown Manhattan.
Some highlights of the webisode, which you can see in full here:
Fey revealed that she:
1) Doesn’t drive and once nearly ran herself over while pretending she could.
2) Carries no key for her New York apartment because she doesn’t need to; it’s that kind of apartment (read: upscale).
Most awkward moment
Fey to Seinfeld: “Your kids, where are they on Santa Claus?”
Seinfeld: (pause) “Well, we’re Jewish.”
Fey: (nervous laugh)
Oddest moment
Seinfeld (looking around while driving): “I can’t find my product placement.”
Fey: (turns to Seinfeld with a puzzled smile)
Fey also talks a bit about her Chicago comedy background, during the years she spent at iO Theater and Second City.
“I always wished I could be a standup,” she tells Seinfeld. “I tried it like, three times in Chicago. I remember compared to improv it was so much scarier and so much more thrilling, because if you did get a laugh it was all yours. But then when you were flop-sweaty, it was also all you.”
