This teaser for the show features Seinfeld driving with Larry David, Michael Richards, Ricky Gervais, Alec Baldwin and Colin Quinn.
The new show will premiere July 19 on Crackle.com.

New Comedy Festivals Stand-Up Comics Wanted
SHE-DEVIL COMEDY FESTIVAL - NY
The She-Devil Comedy Festival will be taking place October 24-28 in Long Island City and Manhattan. The festival seeks to honor and reward the artists that most personify The Art of Comedy, while celebrating and helping further the long tradition of women in comedy.
The She-Devil Festival is combination competition/celebrity headliner event centered at the Laughing Devil in Long Island City with additional shows at Broadway Comedy Club, Gotham Comedy Club, and more. Created by the same people behind Laughing Skull and Laughing Devil festivals, the festival will also feature a private roof party, an art gallery party, museum tours, industry panels, and more events to be announced. The festival will be raising money for FORCE, a charity that educates women about cancer.
The winner gets at least $2000 (the prize package is growing as sponsors are added) and paid work from various clubs - and the judges are all decision makers in the industry. The audiences will be filled with agents, managers, bookers, casting directors and more. At the Laughing Devil festival, all three Letterman bookers attended the finals. More than three dozen bookers and agents have already agreed to participate.
The festival is another step in the Laughing Devil putting Queens on the comedy map. Regulars at the club already include Judah Friedlander, Todd Barry, Ted Alexandro and more. Last week, the Daily Show's Kristen Schaal made her first appearance to a sold out crowd. The Laughing Devil Festival (held last month) sold out every show.
More information on the festival can be found at SheDevilFestival.com.

Ellen DeGeneris to be awarded Mark Twain Prize for American Humor
Comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres will receive the annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
DeGeneres, 54, will receive the nation's highest comedic honor on October 22 at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall in Washington D.C.. Last year's recipient was Will Ferrell and previous female recipients included Tina Fey and Whoopi Goldberg.
DeGeneres went from comedy clubs to fame with her Emmy Award-winning sitcom, "Ellen", wrote several best-selling books, appeared in several movies and voice characters and of course, currently hosts, Emmy Award-winning syndicated talk show "The Ellen DeGeneres Show".
"To get the same award that has been given to people like Bill Cosby, Tina Fey and Will Ferrell, it really makes me wonder...why didn't I get this sooner?" DeGeneres joked in a statement.
The Mark Twain Prize, established in 1998, recognizes people who have had an impact on society comparable to the 19th century satirist and writer of novels such as "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer".
