Netflix to air Jerry Seinfeld-produced sketch-comedy show Stand Up and Away! With Brian Regan

Vulture

Seinfeld and Regan are teaming up for the four-episode sketch show that will premiere on Christmas Eve. “I wanted to do a show that’s a sketch show but the sketches are set up by stand-up bits — some of the older stand-up bits that I’ve done," Regan told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. Seinfeld, also appearing on The Tonight Show, explained to Fallon how his show came about. “I always wanted Brian Regan to have his own show because we love him; he’s the funniest guy,” said Seinfeld. “I can’t deal with the jungle of network television … so I said, ‘Let me bring you to Netflix; they will do it right.’ So I brought him in and I said, ‘Let’s just make a show with Brian.’”
