Jerry, George, and Newman Return to Monk’s Cafe

We now know what that secret project Jerry Seinfeld was shooting with Jason Alexander in front of Tom’s Restaurant (aka Monk’s Cafe) was all about. The Seinfeld reunion was shot for a special edition of Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” series, with just a snippet of the episode spotlighted during the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime.

The special edition of “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” marks the first time in 16 years that Seinfeld cast members have gotten back together in NYC at Tom’s Restaurant. And the “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” episode, as well as the halftime commercial, included a quick appearance by Wayne Knight as Newman.

The Plot:

In a brand new episode of “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” Jerry Seinfeld picks up his “best friend for almost every single day of the 1990s,” George Costanza in a 1976 American Motors Pacer–a car Jerry describes as perfect for Costanza since it “doesn’t work, looks ridiculous and falls apart.” The duo ride together to the legendary Tom’s Restaurant (aka Monk’s Cafe) for a cup of coffee and some famous Seinfeld banter, when they’re interrupted by a crazed Newman.
