Jerry Seinfeld: A Kind of Post-Humor Comic

I’ve never much liked Jerry Seinfeld:
To promote the new season of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," the comedian called out some shows he claims were "influenced" by his idea, including "Carpool" from British comedian Robert Llewellyn.

"These are all real shows!" Seinfeld says in the new season trailer for his Netflix series. "And we are proud that others have taken notice of our style and have been inspired by it. The only comment we would like to make is: If you're going to knock us off, get it right!"

But on Wednesday Llewellyn took to Twitter to say, hey, his "Carpool" show streamed online in 2009 and aired on TV in 2010-11. That means it predates "Comedians in Cars," which debuted in 2012.
