President Barack Obama and Jerry Seinfeld went out for a cup of coffee recently.

The gathering was part of Seinfeld's web series "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee."

No, the commander in chief isn't a comedian by profession, but he "has gotten off just enough funny lines to qualify for getting on this show," Seinfeld says.

The 20-minute segment (in full below) begins with Seinfeld introducing the day's ride, a 1963 Corvette Stingray split window coupe, which is just the right amount of cool for his guest.

Seinfeld calls the White House to arrange the meeting and is greeted by Obama himself on the other line; shortly afterward Seinfeld makes his arrival known while the president finishes up some paperwork.
The conversation is refreshingly candid and lighthearted. The two discuss the concept and luxury of anonymity, why Obama admires Teddy Roosevelt, the president's daily routine, a surprising amount of underwear questions and much, much more. 
As expected, they don't stay in the Corvette for long, which makes for a special treat as viewers get rare glimpses into the president's limo and of the White House.
