If you are in a car like that, especially one that's not yours. You should stop driving when you hear those sounds and see smoke. Diagnose the problem, run, whatever. But don't keep driving. Being Jerry Seinfeld, I would think he knows his way around a car. Apparently not.

FYI - It ended up being a cracked distributor rotor for the right cylinder bank.

My guess: dramatization.
The breakdown at the side of the road seems to have actually happened, but the symptoms leading up to it may have been emphasized after filming. Backfiring/knocking sounds may have been emphasized or added for dramatic effect. The events may not have even been filmed in the same sequence as they were presented to us.
Perhaps it's not as dramatized a show as something like Top Gear, but it's still a comedy-based program rather than a fact-based documentary.

I could tell it was a shitty restoration from the way the door fit in the opening scene.

I was thinking this too. While the car was misfiring, it probably wasn't a constant issue, but enough to change up the taping a bit.
Besides, how many of us have kept driving on a misfire? As long as oil pressure and water temp are good...

Not to mention a misfire in one cylinder out of twelve is much less noticeable than one out of four.
A cracked distributor cap on one bank might make six cylinders misfire, though...

It was the rotor in the right side distributor.
