Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Season 6 is very diversified
5 second plot: Jerry drives around and has coffee with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Steve Harvey, Jim Carrey, Bill Maher, Trever Noah and Steven Colbert.
5 second review: The comedians are so different this season, it's unbelievable. Their styles are miles apart. But Jerry loves them all, so it's very relaxed and everyone's enjoying themselves. I especially laughed real hard with Steve Harvey. He's the man. Jim Carrey is, of course, Jim Carrey, you gotta love him. And Trevor Noah will blow you away with crazy facts about South-Africa (his home country).

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Season 5 is more relaxed
5 second plot: Kevin Hart, Amy Shumer, Bill Burr, Miranda Sings, Fred Armisen, Ali Wentworth and Jimmy Fallon all get to ride along in a cool car and drink some coffee with Jerry Seinfeld. Jimmy Fallon is so much fun he gets two episodes. Jerry even takes him out for a spin on his boat. And to his favorite pancake house.
5 second review: This season most of the comedians aren't intimidated by Jerry. He doesn't overshadow them. That makes it more fun, because the more relaxed these boys and girls are, the funnier they get. Jerry also added some sketches with the so called president of Crackle. These bits suck big time. But here the added value of the webisode format comes into play. You can simply skip this crap.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Season 4 is a short one
5 second plot: Jerry Seinfeld drives around with his buddies/heroes/soulmates Sarah Jessica Parker, George Wallace, Robert Klein, Aziz Ansari and Jon Stewart, occasionally has a bite to eat and drinks some coffee.
5 second review: I don't know what makes a 'season' a season in Jerry's eyes. I don't think he cares. All he cares about is stand up comedy. Everything else is not worth his time. I would say two out of these five episodes are loads of fun. There's one with good facts. And two episodes are pure time fillers. I wouldn't want to be in this show if I were a comedian. Too much pressure to perform before the big and critical Jerry Seinfeld.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Season 1 Episode 76: Jennifer Lopez/Keenen Ivory Wayans
5 second plot: Tonight the show is broadcasting from the Universal Orlando Resort. Jimmy starts the show with clips of Brian Williams (the news anchor) edited to look like he's rapping. Then Jimmy and his sidekick buy the perfect Harry Potter wand. Jennifer Lopez is next to promote her new album A.K.A. And Keener Ivory Wayans pops in to talk about Last Comic Standing.
5 second review: The Roots must be the coolest band in showbiz, right? Jimmy is one hell of a performer, entertainer and seems to be a really nice guy. J-Lo did not look like the cover of her album at all. But I must say her performance is quite a blast.

5 second plot: Conan organizes an NBA mascots dunk contest with mascots that should never dunk. After that, Eric McCormack is on the show to pitch the start of the new season of Perception. Next up is best selling author Michael Lewis. And to round things up: stand up comedy from Roy Wood, Jr.
5 second review: Crazy fun with the mascots. Great stories from all the guests. And Roy Wood, Jr. is a really great comedian. He has the smartest joke build ups I have ever heard.

Conan Season 4 Episode 99: Jack White
5 second plot: Conan starts the show with his clueless review of the game Super Smash Bros. Jack White pops in to talk about all sorts of stuff and to perform some songs from his new album. Amber Stevens drops by to talk about her movie 22 Jump Street.
5 second review: Conan doing these game reviews is always great. Because he gets to play amazing games in extreme preview, but he doesn't give a shit. So he's giving comments no-one else would ever come up with. Jack White is amazing. What an inspirational artist. Amber Stevens is really jolly and super-beautiful.

Conan Season 4 Episode 98: Cobie Smulders
5 second plot: Conan and Andy have some fun with Hilary Clinton. Next up they test the Wiki Bear. Then from the new movie They Came Together, Cobie Smulders is on the show. Next Jenny Slate from the movie Obvious Child. And also comedian Ian Edwards, who's got a new album out called 100% Half-Assed.
5 second review: I love Cobie Smulders but I still hate what they did to How I Met Your Mother. Jenny Slate has got some great energy going on there! And Ian Edwards is hilarious. Spot on funny.

Conan Season 4 Episode 97: Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill
5 second plot: Conan made some new lists for Buzzfeed. Apparently they were running out. Conan and Andy go over some things that have never, ever been said. Their guests of the evening are the stars of 22 Jump Street, Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. And the musical guest is Group Love.
5 second review: A strange episode, with just one guest (well, two in one). I was afraid Conan was going to run out of stuff to talk about. The inside stories the guys bring, are really cool and funny.

Conan Season 4 Episode 96: Jon Favreau
5 second plot: Conan's crew falls apart because someone (Andy) distributed rice crispy treats spiced with marijuana. Jon Favreau is on the show to talk about his movie Chef. And food, of course. Rob Riggle is next to talk about 22 Jump Street. And pubic hair. And Conan's musical guest is Echosmith.
5 second plot: Rob Riggle is funny by nature. Just looking at him makes me laugh. I had never heard of Echosmith. But I'm glad I have now. What an amazing band.

Conan Season 4 Episode 95: Emily Blunt
5 second plot: First up is a Fan Correction. But of course: the fan is totally wrong. Emily Blunt is next to talk about Edge of Tomorrow and punching guys in the balls. Brent Morin from Undateable is next. And musical guest Bob Mould brings it home.
5 second review: The monologue is really smart and funny. Especially the Burt's Bees topic with the quadruple punch line. Emily Blunt is very beautiful, very funny and has got a great accent. Love that.

Conan Season 4 Episode 94: Jane Fonda
5 second plot: First up is The Star Wars Nerdgasm Choir. Next Conan and Andy have some fun laughing with the Google Self Driving Car. Then crazy infobutton results in What Am I Watching. Conan's first guest is the legendary Jane Fonda. Then Ramón RodrÃguez from the TV show Gang Related. And musical guest Twin Shadow.
5 second review: Not as fun as usually, but it's always great to see Conan interview a legend. Ramón RodrÃguez is really relaxed. He seems to be a fun guy.

Conan Season 4 Episode 93: Kellan Lutz
5 second plot: Conan kicks off the show with a little thing called Coffee Table Books That Didn't Sell. After that Kellan Lutz is on to talk about his inventions and The Expendables 3. Next up is Kate McKinnon from Saturday Night Live. And then stand-up comedy from Gary Vider.
5 second review: Conan's monologue and the Coffee Table Book segment is really good. Why did I notice that? Because it's not always this smart and funny. (But no worries Conan, I'm always laughing, even when it's really stupid.) Kate McKinnon is da bomb. Shy Stallone is off the charts funny.

Conan Season 4 Episode 92: Ellen Page
5 second plot: Conan starts the show with a very important video game review of Watch Dogs in a section called Clueless Gamer. Then a little bit of backyard fun with Andy. Ellen Page is next to pitch her new X-Men movie and talk about her pubic hair dreams. Next up is actor and comedian Bob Saget who wrote his memoirs. And finally musical guest Jennifer Nettles.
5 second review: Oh man, I almost choked with laughter. Conan dives in a couple of times, not knowing where he'll end up and of course, it goes horribly wrong. Fantastic comedy.

Conan Season 4 Episode 91: Norm Macdonald and Mackenzie Davis
5 second plot: First up: Conan brings us the results of his latest Celebrity Survey. Then actor and comedian Norm Macdonald is on. He wants to become a talk-show host. Next up is Mackenzie Davis who stars in the new show Halt and Catch Fire. And finally musical guest Veruca Salt. They almost tear the roof off.
5 second review: Norm Macdonald is completely nuts. If you dig him, you will cry with laughter. Personally, I think he's a comedy genius. Conan gets away with saying 'you're a gorgeous woman' again. Multiple times again. To a gorgeous woman! And she replies that she loves him! How can he not be every man's hero?

Conan Season 4 Episode 90: Steven Ho
5 second plot: Conan first performs crazy stunts with Steven Ho and finds out that fake blood does not come off easily. Molly Shannon is next to talk about her movie Trust Me, but instead talks about head orgasms for the entire duration of the interview. And stand-up comedy with Mike Leigh.
5 second review: I just love the guys screwing up and then laughing about it. It's classic comedy stuff. Mike Leigh is pretty funny, but he needs a little more time to be able to knock it out of the park.

Conan Season 4 Episode 68: Simon Helberg
5 second plot: Conan first tries to dress up his European looking producer as a cowboy. After that the state of Texas gets to rumble with a couple of other states. Then Simon Helberg from The Big Bang Theory is on. He does a mad Al Pacino impression. And a musical note from Eli Young Band.
5 second review: The part where they dress up their colleague is mostly funny for Conan, not so much for us. But if Conan is having fun, we're having fun. The crew seems to be feeling really well in good old Texas.

Conan Season 4 Episode 67: Seth Rogen
5 second plot: Conan tries to become a beauty consultant for Mary Kay. After that he sings a song with Wikipedia facts about Dallas. Seth Rogen is there to promote his new film Neighbors and to talk trash about Zac Efron. There is also musical guest Phillip Phillips. Oh yeah, and they launch a baby towards a basketball hoop.
5 second review: The bit from Mary Kay is out of the world hilarious. Conan making a complete fool of himself is always spot on. The girl from Mary Kay does an amazing job keeping her cool.

Conan Season 4 Episode 66: Adam Sandler
5 second plot: Conan is in Texas all week. In this episode he gets deputized (even after randomly killing people in a test) and he gets tested on his knowledge of Texas by Dallas Maverick Dirk Nowitzki. Adam Sandler was there to promote his new film Blend It. He also told a crazy elephant penis story. And stand up comedian Tig Notaro was wondering who would want to go swimming with diarrhea.
5 second review: Really great and funny stuff. My personal favorite: 'State flower? Beef.'. Now that's great writing. And what a big and amazingly excited crowd!

Conan Season 4 Episode 65: Rosario Dawson
5 second plot: First some crazy info-button results in 'What Am I Watching?'. Then a promo for Jan Seat's Backting Like a Pro. Then the gorgeous, super relaxed and super friendly Rosario Dawson, promoting her new film César Chávez. Next up actor/comedian Hannibal Buress who is not a fan of Jimmy Carter's nasty hands. And musical guest Frankie Ballard.
5 second review: This is one of those episodes where everyone is sparkling with joy. You can feel that they had fun making it. It's unbelievable how much Rosario Dawson likes to touch people. She is amazing. Conan did not object. Nor did Andy. And nor did the entire band.

5 second review: Fun stuff. Conan laughing with himself is always great.
