Jerry Seinfeld slipped into Montclair today to share a cup of coffee with late night czar-in-the-making Stephen Colbert, who also happens to be one of Montclair's favorite sons, according to photos on social media and a report on the website TapIntoMontclair.

The two sipped coffee in front of the cameras at Bluestone Coffee Co. at 123 Watchung Ave., and owner Harvey Shilling tells NJ Advance Media that it was for Seinfeld's web series called "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," which has featured Louis C.K., Chris Rock, Tina Fey, Larry David and a host of others.

The now-bearded Colbert left his post at "The Colbert Report" in December in preparation to take over for David Letterman on "The Late Show."
