2020 stand-up comedy special
23 Hours to Kill is a 2020 stand-up comedy special starring Jerry Seinfeld. The special debuted on Netflix on May 5, 2020. It was taped in October 2019 at the Beacon Theatre in New York City.[1] It is the second stand-up special Seinfeld has done for Netflix in a two-part deal that started with the 2017 special, Jerry Before Seinfeld.[2] The teaser from Netflix was released on April 23, 2020, with a secret agent theme.[3] The special is one hour long and covers topics including "talking vs. texting, bad buffets vs. so-called 'great' restaurants, and the magic of Pop-Tarts".[4]
Reception
Brian Logan of The Guardian gave the special four out of five stars, saying "Finding a novel angle on everything from Pop-Tarts to the annoyances of modern technology, the American everyman is still on sparkling form."[5] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave it three and one-half stars out of four, saying "It's classic cranky Seinfeld, but there's such a spring in his step as he moves about the stage, such a twinkle in his eye as his voice goes higher, to the point where he sounds like everyone's not-good imitation of Jerry Seinfeld, that none of it comes across as angry."[1]
