HOLLYWOOD – With his Netflix comedy film Unfrosted debuting to abysmal reviews, 70-year-old comedian Jerry Seinfeld blames the failure on “extreme left, and PC college campus audiences”, unlike in his heyday, when the teenage girls he dated were fans of his comedy.

I did enjoy his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The cars were often gorgeous or interesting, and the guests often interesting and entertaining. Plus, I think I just enjoyed the premise, two friends going out and chat chitting over some coffee... something us regular folk find ourselves doing. More palatable then the structured sit down style interviews.

I loved Bob Mortimer's fishing show for that reason. Just two friends riffing (though Bob is fuckin hilarious)

I need to check that out.

Maybe it’s on YouTube or something?

That's where I watched it but I don't think there's full seasons. It's called Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing

The thing that made that show good was the guests tho, it could've been any other guy asking the questions and it should be fine.
