The teaser from Netflix was released on April 23, 2020, with a secret agent theme. 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".

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." 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."
