- In this extended conversation with "Sunday Morning" correspondent Mo Rocca, comedian Jerry Seinfeld goes deep when talking about the precision of his approach to comedy, and how he made a fondly-remembered part of his youth - the breakfast staple Pop-Tarts - the subject of his directorial debut, the Netflix comedy "Unfrosted."

Seinfeld is a comedy master. The way that he is handling the interviewer is absolutely hilarious.
"We can lose a few kids" lmao😂
😂
so out of pocket yet so true 😅
Part of the irony of Unfrosted has to be the media tour that Jerry Seinfeld is on, where the interviewers try to ask him serious questions about his childhood relationship to Pop Tarts.
He’s such a great talent! I still watch reruns of his show everyday.
Same here! Even if I am cleaning. It is on in the background or in my earphones. :)
"I didn't have a salad until I was 40." So true! My mother's idea of a good meal was cut-up chicken pieces boiled to death in hot salty water, soggy canned green beans, jarred sweetened applesauce and a glass of whole milk. I didn't have fresh vegetables or fruit until I was out on my own. It was years later I realized my family was too poor to afford fresh produce and my mother hated cooking!
And yet the meal you described is still healthier and better for you than most people get today. The food wasn’t made with high fructose corn syrup and chemicals, and most people weren’t morbidly obese.
So true . In the other hand , it was a way of eating . Our “ salad “ was iceberg lettuce with blue cheese dressing on it , and that was only on a night at some supper club where they had beer cheese soup with popcorn in it . I😊 was little but I remember.
@@kph2858 You got blue cheese dressing? Ooh la la! I was in my late teens when I finally realized that all salads weren’t just iceberg lettuce with vinaigrette and some croutons.
Can I ask why Americans did not know how to cook, and these packed non-food products started to appear? When I go shopping I still see a lot of non- food products in the food sections that I haven’t seen those anywhere except here.
I adore this freaking hilarious interview… Thanks Mo & Jerry ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
What’s with the sound of Jerry’s mic? He sounds like he is at the other end of the room…
his mic wasn't plugged in
Sounds like there is 1 overhead and it’s angled toward interviewer.
@@MANZANOADRIANyou can say that again. And Jerry needs to do that too…
I was gonna say just that. My hypothesis:” Mr Seinfeld, I’m gonna set up a mic on your shirt. Jerry- Don’t bother, you’ll hear me just fine! There’s plenty of mics in here!”
I noticed that to. But I don’t care, I could hear him. Life will go on just fine.
This is great, Jerry is literally talking to someone who takes it all too seriously. The whole basis for his comedy.
“I don’t know what this is but I’m in on this” lol great line and so true my son loves his pop tarts just we did as kids
This seems like a comedic episode with the interviewee😂 I’m waiting for Jerry to roast him lol
“I don’t know what you’re talking about”4:22 this is the funniest part… the look on Jerry’s face!!
Looking back on his TV Show, Pop-Tarts were all over the place. On his kitchen counter and in his cupboards. He also would pull them out of a bag, like he had just gone grocery shopping, and then proceeded to stick them up on his shelf.
The one time that he sticks a box in the cupboard above his microwave, then he turns around, has an epiphany, and then spins around, opens the cupboard, grabs the box and proclaims to the camera, "I can't believe I got the low fat!!" 😂😂
Jerry is 69! One of the old timers of Hollywood that deserves serious respect from the next generation. Thanks for all the laughs Jer
He also has an affinity for young girls. The dude dated a 17-year-old when he was 38. That is creepy and WRONG.
@@jcc152509 Get over it, zoomer.
@@alramone1 Do you have children i.e. a daughter? I would presume you don't.
Good one, alramone1, "zoomer!" Your comment is rather presumptuous and hurtful.
He turns 70 today, 29th.
@@annehajdu8654 no kidding? Geez
Snap, Crackle, Pop & Shemp....there's a show, that's a show!
it's gold!
Boing!
I feel like a lot of y'all complaining don't realize that this is an EXTENDED interview. Interviews that air on TV are like 5 minutes and heavily edited to be tight and concise. This is like the full convo, so there's gonna be gaps and missteps. Calm down and stop being so critical. I'd love to see you speak with another human being PERFECTLY for over a half-hour.
Sir, it all comes down to relating to your guest. . .This guy doesn't. . .But, he obviously thinks projecting his somewhat "prissy" attitude makes him interesting in some way. He's kind of annoying, and that's why many people are critical of his "style." And it's NOT about being "PERFECT", it's about being more "real" and not trying to project an attitude that ends up interfering with the flow of the conversation. And you're wrong about TV. I spent 35 years directing "live" TV newscasts and interviews. It's not about being "perfect", it's about getting out of the way and enjoying the flow of an interview that your guest reveals to you. You just pick up on where your guest wants to go and help them get there. Because THEY are the show. . .NOT YOU!!! The best interviewers understand this.
@@BluesImprov I honestly can't think of a better person at CBS to interview Jerry than Rocca. he's been in the comedy world for 25+ years now. I feel like he relates to him fine and never seems to have an attitude to me. but to each their own.
Watch his interview w Neal Brennan
@@sloanadair8009 I planned on it. Just watched the Bill Maher one. very fun.
Interview: I have never had a pop tart?
Jerry Seinfeld: YOU NEVER HAD A POP TART??!!!
My Girls, now in their 20's, knew a hurricane was coming when I stowed in Pop Tarts "just in case."
Wife & I always made sure they had "healthy foods" but, they (Pop Tarts, not my kids) were shelf-stable and had enough enriched what-ever to make it after a storm :-)
Jerry S. is a legend
Ho Ho's rock, Jerry! And yes, they are made by Hostess.. 😜
My mom and dad and uncles and grandfather all worked at Kellogg’s.
At Christmas they would put on a Christmas show for all the kids of the employees. After we got a small suitcase of all the new stuff and I remember getting pop tarts once. Along with Tony the Tiger spoon. And a small box of cereal that was new.
It's just good for the soul to see JERRY.
I, along with a lot of other people, watch Seinfeld every night before bed so I fall asleep laughing.
Omgosh! I just put brown sugar pop tarts on my grocery list!
In depth conversation about Pop-Tarts... Ha love it!
"POLICY!?" 😂
Someone forgot Jerry’s mic…
Brown sugar cinnamon!! 😂😂😂 My favorite also!! Followed up by the frosted strawberry and the frosted blueberry!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Without the frosting so you can put it in the toaster 😊
Jerry ~ We LOVE you!! ❤❤
He is a National treasure, continues to make us laugh.
This whole interview is tongue in cheek and Mo Rocca is just trying to go with whatever Jerry is tossing out, it's like Improv. And I'm really loving Mo Rocca as a silver fox. Mo, "the guy", as someone calls him here, is a seasoned interviewer and regular contributor to CBS for many years.
He's also an original Daily Show correspondent.
@@usergodcandy777 I completely forgot that! That seems like so long ago.
Hysterical interview - they clearly were having fun feeding off each other - thanks for posting!
Typo in the interviewer's name. Should be Mo Ronic.
Jerry is so great, even after all these years! He came out of the starting blocks spot-on funny and has stayed right there, which is pretty amazing. Can't wait to see Pop-Tarts!
they did him dirty with this sound quality
they did him dirty with this interviewer quality
There are moments, you remember all your life. There moments you wait for and dream of all your life. This is one of those moments! Yentil knew about Pop-Tarts?
As soon as I realized this was Mo Rocca, this interview finally made sense 😂
Ho Ho's were INCREDIBLE!!!!!
Jerry should have said .... "Ya know Mo, comedy is about timing. It's about knowing when to pause correctly, when to segue, practicing your lines, being prepared. It's about doing the direct opposite of what you're doing here today!." hahahaha! :)
Whew. I thought I was alone. I like Mo Rocca, that said, this is a clunky and awkward interview. Huh. struggling.
I kinda enjoy frustrated Jerry. A frustrated Jerry dealing with a person who can’t speak the same language as him is an hilarious Jerry.
@@user-rq3oj8xn6v He's probably starstruck. Jerry probably his idol and he's intimidated.
i'm too high for this audio right now.
I'm in the exact same situation. "Duuuuuude, ever listen to Jerry Seinfeld... ON WEEEEED???"
He starts reminding me of legendary Garry Shandling
I love the pop tarts at whole foods market and trader’s Joe.
Brown sugar cinnamon Pop Tarts oh yeah.
The interviewer was not equipped to interview Jerry. There were a lot of blank stares back at lines like “90% of the flavor of the pop tart is the heat, 90% of the flavor of ice cream is the cold”
I like Mo Rocca, that said, this is a clunky and awkward interview. Huh. struggling.
Most interviewers are not as witty or smart as JS and too egotistical to acknowledge it. Larry King interviewed JS well because he just laughed at most of what he said.
@@user-rq3oj8xn6v Mo Rocca kind of sucks and this is proof enough.
Jerry Seinfeld doesn’t have a high tolerance for people who don’t understand humor, so this was probably painful for him.
😅this interview was brutal. Jerry had to be bored out of his mind.
I love both of these people so much, I don't give a damn about hair, sound mixing, whatever.
So Mo may have been a little star-struck in this interview.
I loved the background info.
Calendar is marked for the day this movie comes out!
A conversation I never knew I needed 🤎🤎🤎
Pop-Tart fun facts.
1. Science to create a fruit filling that didn't need refrigeration (or canning) was stolen from General Foods, Gaines Dog Food Burgers.
2. The POST product, "Country Squares" entered the market 7 months prior to Pop-Tarts but failed because of the stigma associated with the word "square" in the 60's.
3. The guy at Kelloggs who oversaw the Pop-Tart product had the surname POST. His kids ate the very first Pop-Tarts and demanded them when they woke-up every morning, thus the decision to market them as a breakfast food.
4. All Pop-Tart ad photos showed the product broken diagonally in order to make it appear to have more filling than pastry. All tests on versions with more filling resulted in Pop-Tarts exploding in the toaster.
I love useless trivia like. I mean "useless" in a complimentary way.
I knew the heirs to the Post Toasties fortune. They did fine anyway.
@@jefolson6989 Can you play "Six Degrees of Separation" between Jerry Seinfeld and Donald Trump? Jerry Seinfeld produced movie featuring Post Toasties. Post Toasties was owned by the Post family. Marjorie Merriweather Post was heir to the family fortune. She lived in Palm Beach and built Mar-a-Lago. Donald Trump bought Mar-a-Lago. Frightening!
One of the greatest comedic talents of all time.
Great interviewing and interview, thanks for sharing.
This is gold Jerry gold!
There is so much opposition to this interview, along with speculating and rampant commenting... Jerry is SO FUNNY! Thanks to the man for staying in the pocket at all times 😂
This is straight out of Curb Your Enthusiasm 😂
This interview is fantastic! Well done. Jerry Seinfeld is so funny and interesting with such a fantastic perspective on things and a phenomenal storyteller. I can’t wait to see the movie.
I loved the movie! It kept getting better and you never knew what huge star is going to show up.
Love you guys!
Kudos to the sound tech. What cave is CBS using these days?
Wonderful!
Apparently CBS doesn't know to run bad audio through Adobe Podcast.
2:44 funniest part of the interview
Oh Mo 🤦🏼♀️ wrong guy to interview Jerry
We love you Jerry❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Ho ho and Ding Dongs . They were wrapped in foil . So good
Brown sugar cinnamon is the best!💯
Jerry is the best!
Interviewers, you have one job: Be quiet.
Pop Tarts are a dessert in Bethesda, Maryland? 😂
Jerry looks amazing for 70
I had them as a kid a few times but I think we were a Post Toast'ems family. I always thought they tasted better. Now it's Toaster Strudel for me.
Does he own stocks in pop tarts now? 😂
Cinnamon and Oreo pop tart are it!
Pop-Tart owner
Kellogg's (1964-2023)
Tagline
"Crazy Good!"
Nice sound mix.
This guy is a terrible interviewer. But props to Jerry for helping out with good answers to his trash questions
Yeah, he's really out of his league and doesn't seem to understand Seinfeld's humor at all. LOL
I came here to say this. This is one of the worst interviewers I’ve ever seen.
@@tekgamer33yep
Yodels!!...Loved them..Are they still around...
"I didn't have a salad til I was 40... That's not a joke."
Mo Rocca is an absolute DUD!
Love love love😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😻🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOVE YOU, Jerry 😍
I almost choked at Mo's lack of knowledge pertaining to the space race...
Pop tart policy 😂
In my college town, we have a pastry shop that makes pop tarts, and they are GF! I treat myself occasionally. They even have the sprinkles! WOW.
The snap, crackle and pop joke is the Seinfeld co stars asking for a million an episode in 97
Oh no what happened to the audio? Always gotta have that LAV mic & boom mic combo for safety
31:09 There was Snap, Crackle, Pop and Pow (circa 1954).

@7:25 --- Yeah, Clearly HAHAHAHA
35 minute int😂erview. The movie isn't much longer is it?
Mantap👌👍✊
Why not get Jerry & Hugh Grant together “in conversation”? That would be a meeting of minds who like each other & it would be genuinely funny. Please take this one suggestion away with you to consider?
Hostess IS the HoHo…and Little Debbie Swiss rolls were also the same. I never had Drakes growing up in Pittsburgh. And what’s with the audio? They forgot to turn on Jerry’s mic???
Fun Tech Tip - There are multiple mics on an interview, (over heads & lapels)BUT if an editor decides to engage ALL mics at the same time, you will hear the ambience/echo of the room. Bush-league move for a Prime Network Celebrity interview.
I wonder if cereal & pop tarts sales go through the roof now - havent tried them so I might got get some pop tarts today
PhAsInG; F'd up the audio but still bearable !
I need show
@cbssundaymorning - two technical issues. Jerry’s audio is not very present, his voice sounds like it’s being picked up from the host’s mic. Also the color between A cam and B cam are slightly off.
Carnation Instant Breakfast
I remember that ! Strawberry Nestles drink
I mean I like jerry seinfeld but enough is enough!
Honestly, could a worse interviewer have been ravioli~ed
So funny! And didn't know Toast'ems was originally from Post. If Country Squares tasted like Toast'ems it wasn't the name. They tasted almost watery and stale. You can get folks in the tent with a name but you keep them with the experience. And Jerry is right Brown Sugar Cinnamon is the absolute best.
It was nice to sit in the gym changing room and overhear Seinfeld and a friend converse in the showers. two thumb up
Tony the tiger, snap crackle pop and many other animated characters, Leo Burnett advertising
And L.B. was in Chicago competing with Madison Ave in New York. More L.B. iconic characters: Jolly Green Giant, Keebler Elf, Marlboro Man, Maytag Repairman, Morris the Cat, Pillsbury Dough Boy, Toucan Sam.
how is this sound quality is even possible on a network ! did you film the video from a bad TV with a phone?
Toaster strudels are the king.
Suzie Q's 😊 soooo GOOD ‼️
Nice audio
