Jerry Seinfeld took part in an "Ask Me Anything" Reddit conversation yesterday to promote the third installment of his web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. In addition to talking about the new season and of course the expected questions about his famous show about nothing, Seinfeld did end up spilling a bit of exciting news.

Apparently, he and Larry David have plans for a new top-secret project. "We wrote this script for this thing that you will eventually see but I can't reveal what it is at this time."

We'll have to wait to find out what that is all about, but chances are it'll be hilarious. In the AMA chat, Seinfeld clearly devoted a lot of time and energy to share about many things fans were curious about, including how he first ended up meeting David:

"That's a long story," he said. "I actually was eavesdropping on him talking to another comedian, and I wasn't even in comedy yet. But he was leaning on my car in front of the Improv on 9th Ave and 44th Street [in New York City], and this would be probably 1975. That was the first time I ever saw him. But we didn't talk. But him and this other comedian were leaning on the fender of my car, and I knew that they were real comedians and I was still just flirting with it." Three years later the two would reunite at a bar called Catch a Rising Star. "We couldn't stop talking. We were both obsessed with the smallest possible issue."

As it turns out, the famous sitcom was not originally pitched as a "show about nothing," despite George and Jerry's pitch to NBC in an episode on the show. "The real pitch, when Larry and I went to NBC in 1988, was we want to show how a comedian gets his material," he said. "The show about nothing was just a joke in an episode many years later, and Larry and I to this day are surprised that it caught on as a way that people describe the show, because to us it's the opposite of that."
