Longtime pals Paul Scheer and Rob Huebel stopped by
Late Night with Seth Meyers to talk about how much they love ridesharing, and to share some of their Uber pro tips – like, instead of asking your driver “How are you?” why not make things a little fun with, “Wanna see a dead body?”
Scheer (
The League, How Did This Get Made?) and Huebel (
Childrens Hospital, Transparent) have been comedy collaborators since their days in sketch team Human Giant, so naturally this
Late Night visit wasn’t just an Uber ad spot: they were there to promote their new show,

Streaming now on Go90,
Drive Share is an anthology series set mostly in the back of a car, with the tagline: “Every day, millions of people use ride-share apps. These are their stories.
Each minisode (they’re all under ten minutes) tackles a typical ridesharing issue, like finding out your driver is your ex, or – in the clip they shared with Meyers – trying not to give birth in the back of a stranger’s car.
Drive Share follows Scheer and Huebel’s last project, 2015’s equally offbeat special
Crash Test, in which an audience – shuttled around LA on a double-decker bus – was treated to “a fast-paced improvised ride with standup on the street” from Aziz Ansari, Natasha Leggero, and many more.
