At a time when we all could use a little levity, Jerry Seinfeld will provide it in “23 Hours to Kill,” his second special for Netflix. Filmed at New York’s Beacon Theater during a run that was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, the special falls under Seinfeld’s deal with Netflix that included his special “Jerry Before Seinfeld” last year and the series “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.”

Premiering May 5, the special’s title refers to Seinfeld’s assertion that standup comedians spend all day waiting for that one hour on stage.

Seinfeld is scheduled to release an untitled book about standup comedy, his first since “Seinlanguage,” on Oct. 6.
