Obama becomes one of Jerry Seinfeld’s ‘Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee’
Favorite Seinfeld quote from the episode: “I make so much more than you”.

Each 20-minute episode features Seinfeld chatting informally with a different comedian.
US President Barack Obama took a short spin with comedian Jerry Seinfeld for his Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee web series and told him that “a pretty sizeable percentage” of world leaders may be insane.
For the special episode, Seinfeld showed up to the White House in a 1963 Corvette Stingray, surprising the president by creeping around the bushes outside the Oval Office and knocking on the windows.
The two cruised through the White House property, take the time to inspect Obama’s executive vehicle, and then walk into the White House to drink some brew and talk various topics including world leaders, underwear and football.
Obama has appeared on other comedian’s shows in recent years, including Zach Galifinakis’ “Between Two Ferns” web series and Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast, to sell Obamacare to a young audience. “So you’re looking around, thinking, ‘What the hell is this?'”
Seinfeld: What is it that you really want to do that they don’t let you do? “They love me. Partly because they think my ears are big and so I look a little bit like a cartoon character”.
The duo attempts to get off the White House grounds in the Corvette, but is rebuffed by security.
“I always wanted to be on a show about nothing, and now I am”, a reasonably straight-faced President Obama tells Seinfeld at one point.
Seinfeld asked Obama if being president is like playing chess.
On Monday of this week, before Obama’s appearance on Seinfeld’s show, comedian David Spade criticized the president and First Lady Michelle Obama for their never-ending appearances on reality and talk shows.
While Obama said he treasures anonymity, Seinfeld quipped: “I remember not being famous; it wasn’t that great”. Also, Obama skewered Seinfeld for having more money than he does.
