No Joke: Obama Taken For A Ride By Seinfeld

The US President was driven around the grounds of the White House by Jerry Seinfeld in his latest off-the-wall interview.

Funny man Jerry Seinfeld has taken Barack Obama for spin in the latest episode of his web show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

Seinfeld drove the US President around the grounds of the White House in a silver blue 1963 Corvette Stingray.

He usually opts for the streets of New York or Los Angeles but both were ruled out by the secret service.

Easy does it: The Corvette gets into gear

The 20-minute show, which is streamed by Crackle, features Seinfeld chatting informally with a guest.

He said Mr Obama had "gotten off just enough funny lines" to warrant an appearance.

As the pair drove around, viewers learned the President blows off steam by cursing and and that his guilty food pleasure is nachos.

They also talked about the drawbacks of fame versus anonymity, and Mr Obama's most embarrassing moment.

"This may be it," he quipped.

Last month Mr Obama took part in the survival adventure series Running Wild with Bear Grylls in Alaska to highlight the dangers of global warming.

While in office he has also appeared on numerous TV chat shows including The Tonight Show, The Daily Show and The View.
