President Obama Appears in ‘Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee’ With Jerry Seinfeld

Seinfeld’s Web series, as the title suggests, usually features the sitcom legend jawing over caffeinated beverages with fellow brand-name comics.

Seinfeld; “No, because you and I don’t talk that much.” .

Very little mention of politics is made during the 20 minute episode, and at one point Obama even agrees with Seinfeld that living at the White House is a bit like Night at the Museum. “I would love to just be taking a walk and then I run into you”.

So the coffee was drunk in a staff dining room. Right? And suddenly I say, “Hey, Jerry how are you doing?” “It wasn’t that great”.

On the show, the comedian asked him about his most embarrassing moment, to which Obama said, “This might be it”.

“Can you imagine that?”

“A pretty sizeable percentage”, the commander-in-chief responded.

“The (Mount) Rushmore thing would be interesting, but that’s pretty exclusive real estate”, Obama said. “I only have blue and grey suits”, Obama said. “He’s a fair-skinned guy…”

“Oh, the sunscreen”, Seinfeld interrupts with a sigh. “He lathers himself in [it]”, he says. “And it’s dripping, it’s caked white all over”. Obama pauses a second, then deadpans, “This may be it”. You try a play, you get sacked, now it’s like third and 15. Now it’s like, 3rd and 15. “So you have to be able to just make fun of a lot of that”, he admits.

Later, Seinfeld asks: “How many world leaders are completely out of their mind?” “The longer you stay in office, the more likely that is to happen”.

While Seinfeld introduces Obama to the 1963 Corvette Stingray, Obama lets Seinfeld sit in the back seat of the presidential limo, a Cadillac that Obama refers to as “the beast”.

There are obvious obstructions, with security guards getting in the way of the trip out.

“I knew that wouldn’t work”, he admits.
