I've never seen a Regan performance, but after seeing that I'm going to check him out. That was hilarious! I'm really enjoying this series.

Regan is great. I've seen him probably 10 times or so. IIRC, he has also opened for Seinfeld at some point. He does very similar observational humor to Seinfeld, but does it with a much goofier, much more physical act.

I thought it was interesting/cool that they were talking about their nearly identical comedy routines. They have others that are also very similar. Lots of comedians do. Gaffigan, Regan, Seinfeld, and plenty of others have similar things, and sometimes people think that means one is stealing from another, but it's not that. It's just that these guys often see things the same and independently come up with very similar jokes.

Love Brian Regan. Seen him 5-6 times and he is always great. That was a good ep.

Once one of them started a joke down the track, the other immediately knew exactly how to move it along and go the same direction. Pretty cool to watch

This was great and what the whole show should be about. That Gervais one was painful. Reagan was hilarious. Not looking forward to Arec Barwin.

I enjoyed the Gervais one. Probably the least of the 3 so far, but still, I think he's a sharp, funny guy. It's interesting so far to see the way Seinfeld interacts with 3 different guys who have 3 different styles of humor. With Larry David, it's like Seinfeld knew that the way to get humor was to just talk about mundane thing (heat) and let the Seinfeld-type humor flow out of it. With Gervais, Seinfeld seemed to enjoy putting him on the spot (both with the driving and with the conversation), and with Regan, he just seemed to enjoy playing along with whatever silly track Regan started them on.

I really hope he has Chris Rock on sometime.

He said on twitter Colin Quinn was episode 5

I'd love to see Chappelle on this.

I thought the Regan episode was great. I loved the "jiggle the handle" bit as well as "the convincer".

I continue to enjoy each episode. What a cool idea from Jerry.

Baldwin up next this Thursday.

The Convincer had me laughing out loud as well.

I don't agree with much of anything Baldwin says or does in his personal life, but I think his episode will be entertaining. He's funny.

If you haven't already, go watch the extra clip uploaded yesterday about Cirque De Soleil. One of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Larry's imitation of the angst / impatience involved in cigarette smoking was so simple, but hilarious.

Yeah, that was some subtle genius there.

Thanks for pointing this show out, I hadn't heard of it but it's awesome. Especially because it's just 10 or so minutes and no commercials. And on the Internet.

larry david is my favorite overall so far, but the bit about the cirque de soleil manager was the funniest single bit.

Gervais was pretty good. I thought I wouldn't like it, but those two were pretty funny.

The walkman, aerobics, and fax bit was warming up to be great and the waiter stopped the flow.

Bump for the Baldwin episode.

I found myself laughing quite a bit. Baldwin is a sharp guy. And I was surprised by how funny he was. His back and forth with the waitress was great. I am loving this show. Great stuff.

Joel Hodgson is this Thursday.

Upon further investigation it seems that Joel Hodgson is the creator of Mystery Science Theater 3000. That gets me excited for Thursday's episode.

Joel

I don't drink much coffee, but I have to get a cup when I watch this.

Larry David has been my favorite episode thus far (I could watch them talk about nothing forever), but none have disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised with the Alec Baldwin episode; he was very funny. His Jack Nicholson was nails!

My favorite line of possibly the entire series was when Baldwin was asking Jerry about work: "Your life has been one unbroken boulevard of green lights, hasn't it?"

I love drinking fresh roasted coffee out of a diner mug and watching this.

Great stuff so far, Baldwin and Larry were the best.

I've got to give Seinfeld credit, I figured these would suck after Larry David, but these have been pretty good.

Man, that opening makes coffee seem like the most appealing thing ever.

This was by far the weakest I found. Joel just didn't bring much to the table.

I disagree. It started slow but picked up quite well in the middle. They should have included more of the spare parts segments though.

I also thought this weeks was the weakest so far. Joel had some funny moments but he seemed dull to me. It appeared that Jerry had to carry most of the show.

Even though Joel wasn't nuts like most guests have been, it was still entertaining to see these guys do an everyday thing like breakfast. I do agree that the spare parts were funny. I particularly enjoyed the spare part with the guy riding his bike.

Next weeks is with Bob Einstein (who plays Funkhouser on Curb). The preview looks fantastic. Marty is such a great character on Curb. I'm really looking forward to next weeks.

The spare parts had some gold in em.

The episode itself was pretty weak. Somewhat entertaining but definitely not full of laughs like the others. Still love this show, though.

You could tell that Joel is extremely intelligent, and probably one of those guys that has been friends with Jerry for a long time. He wasn't loud and in your face like alot of the guys, but very subtle, dry funny. I liked that as kind of a change of pace.

I also thought their convo as the ketchup execs was hysterical

If the only thing that comes out of this is raising awareness of Brian Regan it was time well spent on Seinfeld's part. I love the guy.

I've watched that Cirque du Soleil bit a dozen times. I love seeing how much fun Jerry and Brian have cracking each other up.

Bob Einstein was awesome as SuperDave.

His brother is Albert Brooks and he might be funniest person on planet.

Looking forward to that episode.

Great episode!

OH **** SUPER DAVE OSBORNE
