The riding portion of the latest “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” had to be cut short after the yellow Ferrari that Jerry Seinfeld had picked out for his guest Amy Schumer started smoking on the streets of New York City.
The sports car showed signs of trouble as soon as the two took off from Schumer’s Upper West Side apartment, with Seinfeld eventually declaring the vehicle a “piece of shit.”
“It’s comforting to know how I’m going to die, I guess,” Schumer said, clutching her broken seatbelt like Rosary beads.
“I really, seriously, don’t know if we’re going to make it,” Seinfeld said. “But, we don’t cancel shows. We do the show and if things go wrong, that’s just the way it is.”
Things did go wrong but the comedians made the best of the situation, abandoning their ride somewhere in the Bronx and traveling on foot to a nearby diner.
After finally arriving at a restaurant, Seinfeld ordered his coffee and a very specific breakfast of eggs over medium, “with nothing else on the plate.” His waitress then promptly asked, “do you want toast with that?”
“Part of me just wants to go ‘Full Metal Jacket,'” an aggravated Seinfeld said after the server walked away.
Schumer opened up to her comedic elder statesman about her youth, her career and her love life, which she compared to a tsunami of unforeseen disappointment.
“For female comics, it’s hard to date someone,” Schumer said. “It’s usually an issue, what we do.”
Schumer was in a relationship with fellow standup Anthony Jeselnik and also dated professional wrestler Dolph Ziggler. After Seinfeld complimented her on how nice she looked for their day out, Schumer shot him down with her patented self-deprecation.
“There’s a team of people making me look this mediocre,” Schumer said.

25 of 'Seinfeld's' Most Sponge-Worthy Guest Stars (Photos)
"Seinfeld" will disappear from Hulu in late June 2021 before heading to to Netflix -- leaving an indefinite amount of time to be unavailable for streaming. In the meantime, check out the show's best guest stars, from Bryan Cranston to Kathy Griffin.
NBC
Bryan Cranston, "Tim Whatley" Before he was Walter White, Cranston played a dentist with a thing for Elaine. He converted to Judaism for the jokes.
NBC
Phil Morris, "Jackie Chiles" A clear spoof of Johnny Cochran, the fast-talking Chiles found himself involved in several hair-brained lawsuits, usually involving Kramer. He defended the gang in the finale.
NBC
Larry David, "George Steinbrenner" The co-creator of "Seinfeld" and eventual "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star played several off-camera roles, most notably that of the late New York Yankees team owner.
NBC
Wayne Knight, "Newman" Jerry's nemesis and downstairs neighbor was not a very adept mailman. But as a buddy of Kramer, he often was embroiled in something that the gang was doing. No one said "Hello" with more venom.
NBC
John O'Hurley, "J. Peterman" One of Elaine's many bosses -- and possibly the zaniest. Peterman was a bit of an idiot, whose dumbest move may have been leaving his magazine in Elaine's incapable hands.
NBC
Patrick Warburton, "Puddy" One of Elaine's many boyfriends -- and possibly the zaniest. David Puddy and Elaine were on-again/off-again for 10 episodes. He also wore the best jacket in the show's history: the leather "8-ball" coat.
NBC
Danny Woodburn, "Mickey" Kramer met Mickey while they were both stand-ins on a sitcom: Cosmo for the dad, and Mickey for the kid. A friendship was born that eventually turned into a rivalry on a double date.
NBC
Peter Crombie, "'Crazy' Joe Davola" "Crazy" Joe Davola lived up to his name throughout five "Seinfeld" episodes. As is a common theme of male guest characters, he was a short-time flame of Elaine's. He also sometimes dressed up like a sad clown and beat people up.
NBC
Reni Santoni, "Poppie" Poppie not only got sloppy, but he also practiced poor hygiene. Do not eat in this man's restaurant.
NBC
Keith Hernandez, "Keith Hernandez" The New York Mets star played himself on the NBC sitcom. He dated Elaine and asked Jerry to help him move. The latter was too much for the sitcom's protagonist to handle.
NBC
Teri Hatcher, "Sidra" Hatcher, a one-episode girlfriend of Jerry's, boasts one of the best lines in the sitcom's run: "They're real, and they're spectacular." She was talking about her breasts, which were in question.
NBC
Barney Martin, "Morty Seinfeld" Jerry's dad made his mark in this world selling raincoats. The Seinfelds and the Costanzas did not get along.
NBC
Liz Sheridan, "Helen Seinfeld" Mrs. Seinfeld was often kind of just there, never wanting to be a bother to Jerry and always hoping he ended up with a nice girl. That is, until she was charmed by Elaine's "close-talker" boyfriend, Judge Reinhold, who narrowly missed this list.
NBC
Estelle Harris, "Estelle Costanza" George's mom had a shrill voice that surely helped drive her son away. Still, she was somehow the sane one in her marriage. Kramer "stopped short" with Estelle while driving, which was her husband's go-to romantic move.
NBC
Jerry Stiller, "Frank Costanza" One of the greatest of the many great contributions of Frank Costanza is Festivus, a Christmas-time holiday "for the rest of us." Festivus was not over until someone pinned Frank.
NBC
Len Lesser, "Uncle Leo" Uncle Leo was Jerry's closest (in proximity) relative, leading to numerous stumble-upon opportunities throughout New York City. Leo became a thief in his old age and burned off his eyebrows.
NBC
Jeanine Garafolo, "Jeanine" Remember when Jerry was engaged? No? Well it lasted just one episode, and the break-up was mutual. Seinfeld also broke a pact with George when he called off the marriage.
NBC
Kathy Griffin, "Sally" Sally turned on her mentor Jerry in a one-woman show that earned her rave reviews. In real life, Griffin has done just fine for herself without material about Seinfeld.
NBC
Steve Hytner, "Kenny Bania" Bania was a hacky comic in a show that originally centered heavily around Jerry Seinfeld's stand-up comedy career. At some point Bania became a protege of Jerry's, cashing in on a killer Ovaltine bit.
NBC
Sandy Baron, "Jack Klompus" Klompus served on the Del Boca Vista condo association board, where Morty and Helen lived. Eventually, Kramer would run for the board as a puppet candidate.
NBC
Heidi Swedberg, "Susan Ross" George Costanza's fiance Susan probably took the easy way out when she died before having to marry the show's resident short, stocky, bald man. Susan met her demise by licking cheap, toxic wedding envelopes.
NBC
Ruth Cohen, "Ruthie Cohen, Monk's Cashier" Cohen, the cashier at the gang's favorite diner, actually appeared in more than twice as many episodes than anyone else outside of the Big 4, with 101.
NBC
Frances Bay, "Marble Rye Woman" Bay appeared in a few "Seinfeld" episodes, most famously as the woman that Jerry robbed on the street for her loaf of marble rye bread. But it was all in the name of helping George out.
NBC
Mark Metcalf, "Maestro" The Maestro insisted on being called "Maestro" because he was a maestro. This prompted Jerry to insist that Elaine call him "Jerry the Great" because he's great.
NBC
Jane Leeves, "Marla" Reeves appeared on "Seinfeld" right around the same time that her sitcom "Frasier" joined NBC's lineup. Marla was a virgin who played a heavy role in the classic episode, "The Contest."
