DC's Ali Wentworth to Appear on Seinfeld's 'Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee'

The guy who made a spectacular success out of making a show about nothing on NBC returns this week for a fifth season of a similarly themed show, online.

Jerry Seinfeld debuts “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” Thursday at noon, with guests that include DC’s Ali Wentworth.

In each episode of the show, Seinfeld picks up a comedian to go grab a cup of coffee and chat about whatever comes to mind; to up the fun quotient, he is usually driving some sort of exotic car. The people he interviews, outside of the confines of a TV talk show, seem to open up more when they’re hitting the road or sipping some Joe with Jerry. Seinfeld appears to be having a grand old time.

Wentworth is an actress with many credits on TV and film; she played Seinfield’s girlfriend “Schmoopie” on the ”Seinfeld” show’s Soup Nazi episode. Wentworth is the mother of two girls and is married to ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos.

Wentworth grew up in DC, where her mother was a White House social secretary during the Reagan administration and her father was a journalist covering politics.

In addition to Wentworth, others on the show this season include Jimmy Fallon, Kevin Hart and Fred Armisen.
