Jerry Seinfeld takes a spin in a Porsche after giving fans a look of his first comedy special in 22 years
He’s got dozens of Porsches in his huge vintage car collection.
And even the coronavirus lockdown couldn’t stop Jerry Seinfeld taking one out for a spin, as he took a drive in a lime green Porsche in the Hamptons.
The 65-year-old car aficionado looked in high spirits, after sharing the first look of his upcoming comedy special on Netflix on Thursday via Instagram.
‘Now that even super-villains want stand up specials, only secret agent comedians can stop them!’ the comedian captioned the James Bond-inspired footage of himself playing a secret agent.

The teaser for 23 Hours to Kill – his first comedy special in 22 years – begins with Seinfeld satirizing the 007 spy films, as he recreates the laser scene from 1964’s Goldfinger.
Just in the nick of time, the Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is transported onstage at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, where the special was recorded pre-coronavirus, and shares a Seinfeldian joke.
‘Who designed the bathroom stall with the under-display viewing window, so we can all see the lifeless, collapsed pant legs and tragic little shoe fronts that are just barely poking out from underneath the impotent belt lying helpless?’ he asks.

‘How much more money is it to bring this wall down another foot?’ Seinfeld quips to the laughing crowd.
The star will also add his witty perspective on ‘talking vs. texting, bad buffets vs. so-called ‘great’ restaurants and the magic of Pop Tarts,’ according to Netflix.
While the hour-long special marks his first original comedy special since 1998, fans have long enjoyed his conversation series Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee on the streaming platform, which aired its 11th season last summer.

In September, Netflix acquired the global rights to the popular sitcom Seinfeld after 2021 and it was reported Seinfeld and Larry David were set to make $100 million to $125 million each from the deal on their 1990s hit.
Previously, Hulu, a Disney subsidiary, held the rights since 2015 but that deal will end in less two years.
23 Hours to Kill premieres May 5 on Netflix.
