Seinfeld is the GOAT. Just ask him - he'll tell you
He’s certainly not humble
very few people disagree with him
@@evansgate When you make one of the influential tv sitcoms of all time you don't have to be.
00:10 Listen very carefully what he's saying here.
He recognizes the show wasn't all of his talent. He gave credit to the entire cast and Larry David.
That's okay, maybe you'll accomplish something someday little fella....
Mad respect for him walking out on top. Felt that way when the show ended, feel the same today.
He's also trying to explain to Stern why everyone hates him now and Howard isn't getting it.
There are so many shows and limited series which we all wish- as fans- they ended at their peak... So many went "that little bit too far" and spoiled the lore for us...
@@v4v819 Stern show specifically is a good example of a show staying on too long and ruining its legacy.
People loved Stern. Was huge.
Howard stayed past his due date for doing comedy and trashed the whole thing trying to be respectable.
@@andrionwaser6772 Did you notice a difference when Larry David left?
@@v4v819 The situations be ame sillier. Series jumped the sark.
Kramer eating snacks during the "commercial break" on the Merv Griffin episode had me dead.
And we're back!
lol you see George break when Kramer burps.
@@methridge ..burp....
Yup, absolutely hilarious!🤣🤣🤣
Pretty sure they had to do multiple takes of that scene because they were all laughing so much and in the actual show you can still see Jason Alexander laugh a little bit after he burps. That was the take they could use.
jerry always makes perfect logical sense. it's a rare gift.
I think if he brought back the original show and cast, it would instantly rocket to #1. Plus he has another 25 years of pop-culture lunacy that needs to be made fun of.
@@paulrybarczyk5013it would ruin the legacy
All I can think of is the idea of Jerry describing the $110m offer to George and the levels of frustration and "oooohhhhooooooooOOOOOO" that would be coming out of George, at the thought of turning down the money.
@@paulrybarczyk5013 We already have curb your enthusiasm.
Howard Stern interrupts too much, let Jerry talk I want to hear what he has to say.
Too many American sitcoms pump out season after season, Jerry is spot on with leaving at the perfect time while the audience is in love with the show.
Not all executive producers are paid as well as Jerry and Larry were. So when a network wants to run a show into the ground with endless season renewals, those EP's are of course going to say yes even though they know the show doesn't have much left in terms of stories to tell.
@@osaji922very well said
True although I think they could have done another season and killed
@@osaji922 they had already sold it to syndication for a billion... 110 isn't as appealing after that, mayhaps??
Also helps with keeping merchandise etc. sales up if the show is still looked upon favorably and with nostalgia
9 seasons of a show where almost every episode is a classic. unheard of before or since
(and most episodes that weren't were in the fist season)
Wrong. All in the Family
Always sunny in Philadelphia
@@windmillin-in-the-dirt2489 oh, ew no.
Although it is my favorite show, the first two seasons were not that great,
"The word masturbation wasn't used in the masturbation episode"
"But one sponsor pulled out"
*I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE*
Jerry is such a badass. He's so calm and collected and no nonsense. I love him
The way Kramer says “And we’re back!” while eating the chips and drinking a soda on the Merv Griffin episode was actually a funny psychological reminder I would use when I would observe my mind drifting from the moment.
True authentic conversation at its best. And I love how Jerry references to Howard that coming on his show, it allows for truth and and authenticity.
Jerry hated howard.
Authentic?
Look up the word in the dictionary.
Stern's genius is that he makes it look authentic.
Except that it's not true. Look up 'Erica Durance on Howard', how they actually bullied and sexually harassed her, to go along with a story that wasn't true, just to make it spicy. Disgusting stuff.
really lathering-up Howie !
How do you not love Jerry. I’ve seen every episode probably 5 times, it deeply shaped my sense of humour growing up.
Those are rookie numbers. You gotta pump those numbers up. I'm at about 30-times per episode.
@@CompassIIDX at this rate you should be memorizing and reciting the script line by line 😂
@@IbrahimQasim-sb5kr Oh, I'm close to that! 😀
@@CompassIIDXI own a Seinfeld trivia board game and nobody wants to play with me anymore lol.
Mad respect for Jerry to look past the money and have a good sense of what they created and how it was ingested by us and gauging the show's place in the world. Just wow.
Also much easier when you're already worth 500 million by that point..
@@nighthawk0077 only Seinfeld could shed light on that thought.
@@ScreengageLLCeither way he’s rich so your respect is kind of invalid
Jerry was so smart ending things when he did
@nighthawk0077 Also seems to be much less common when ur already worth 500 million.
Sadly.
Watching through Seinfeld with my wife as we started the 8th season I said, "Watch, the show will be worse without Larry David." To my surprise it was just as good and sometimes even better.
This is the first I'm hearing the Jerry took over at any point. I'll have to rewatch the 8th season now.
Season 8 has so many of the classic moments/episodes. It’s by far one of my all time favs from the show
"Do you get fatigued when people talk about their favorite seinfeld episode?" "no" "my favorite episode is..."
It's amazing how seinfeld actually had so much raunchy plots, but made it feel family friendly
That’s so true! I’m not typically comfortable with sex jokes but they succeeded in making it so funny, you could actually watch it with your parents without wanting to crawl into a hole! 🤣
The episode where Jerry talks dirty about the panties is so good!!
@@johnjohnson3709watching this episode now. And Elaine called him Jerome. Now I'm here
What a Legend. We all would have loved another season, but Jerry was also 100% correct to go out on top.
I think that even the best sitcoms I've ever seen end up going on past their use by date and you think wow they should have stopped while they were on top ,Seinfeld didn't make that mistake, kudos to Jerry
Michael Richards went out on top with his standup too.
I remember Jerry being interviewed after the first season in his new home that wasn't furnished yet. He had a review framed on the wall that he read to the interviewer where the critic bashed the supporting cast. Jerry looked at the interviewer and said, where could we have come up with a better supporting cast?
Can you share the link to this interview?
@@senpai-vu6og Yes! czcams.com/video/2togFepved8/video.html
@@senpai-vu6og It's his interview with "60 Minutes".
Both of My Labours Started on a Thursday Evening in the 90’s While Watching “Seinfeld”. ❤🍁
Any of your kids named Jerry, George, Elaine or Cosmo?
canadian?
Any episode with the Costanzas gets me every time
Considering the syndication rights to the show 110 million is chump change.
He did the math !!
Ya!
110 million, especially in 1997, is still nothing to sneeze at.
The show has made over 4 billion from re-runs and royalties.
And all that $$$ has only been boosted by everyone’s positive feelings about the show, which come from it not overstaying its welcome.
Jerry is one of the most balanced celebrities of all time. Mad respect
He's not balanced he doesn't swear... That means his show is not balanced.
He's pretty nutty, lol
look up "robert kelly seinfeld story" for an instance where he was (arguably justifiably) a jerk
You're mad at him? Why?
NOT YOUUU!!!!
I love the fact that the episode where George Costanza (Larry David) says, "This is the show!" is confirmed here by Seinfeld to be how the show came about! One of the most meta shows in history!
George is Larry
You mean Jason Alexander
@@nachorodriguez145 no, we mean Larry David. Jason Alexander's character was loosely based upon David.
Great interview. I love Jerry’s energy. I could listen to those 2 talk for hours.
Curb is an incredible follow-up project for Larry. It is possible to get from under the shadow of Seinfeld. Julia had a couple of hits after Seinfeld too.
She is funny 😂
Please upload more of this interview
Jerry is so down to earth and honest. Love him
Howard interviewing Jerry Seinfeld’s biggest fan.
lol
Oh, there you are!
Lmao nicely done
I'd ne too. He did great for us, didn't he?
Loved watching Seinfeld every night after school, it was just a different type of show!
You know you're rich when you can turn down 110 million dollars. You don't even want to know what I'd do for a fraction of that money.
I'd imagine the "talk" they had was look we got a hit here, and they will play the shit out of this in syndication.
I'd imagine even today they pull in some nice checks from this show all these years later.
@@spencers4121 Seinfeld has a net worth of $950 million, so you are correct. He and Larry david made tons from syndication
After 5 million dollars (I imagine a lot more, but for argument's sake) and a guarantee of a perpetual syndication trickle, does any amount make a difference to 99.99 % of the people on this planet?
@@seitavw I believe most of his net worth he made after the show was finished. so he didn't really lose anything
@@spencers4121 Seinfield makes $50 million a year in royalties.
I saw Jerry’s stand up in Philadelphia 10 years ago. I cried laughing for most of the act.
I cried too, mine was over wasting money though
Ya
He is that good.
I saw him inMelbourne , Australia. He was great.
Jordan Albert the GOAT 🐐
Jerry already had double syndication in the books and he owned the show. For him $110 million was what he'd make anyway within a few years of the show being in syndication.
...and could have hurt those syndication numbers if the show fizzled
Jackie Gleason did the same with "The Honeymooners"
This show in 2023 still holds up!
Howard Stern has this trait where he likes to explain to the guest how something happened, will get a number of things wrong, and then is corrected by the guest. Overall, he's a good interviewer, but I can't that he tries to drive the conversation instead of giving his guest some room to actually answer.
I think it’s actually a pretty genius technique: say three things that are correct and one thing wrong, then the interviewee corrects the mistake. It seems more likely to get a response (being corrected) than just asking someone something.
I think he'll bring up something significant that he had heard from someone in the industry and based on the person he's interviewing wanted more clarity on it or even just personal curiosity. It's a closure point for the whole discussion.
It's low self-esteem Howard, trying to be the one that knows something, when he usually doesn't
He's completely right, too many great shows just go way too long and it does change your opinion about them.
He went from the show to starting & raising a beautiful family. I’d say that’s pretty awesome.
Absolutely 💯 I remember a bunch of conversations about them ending the show. I’m happy he went out at the TOP! ✊
Please we might want another Seinfeld but we don't need one. Seinfeld is a freaking classic
nobody loves jerry more than jerry
Someone described him as "Larry David's lucky friend".
Should be that way, tbh
That's true for a lot of people
you would feel the same way if you were him😂😂
Get lost
Love the way you can hear the side chain compression affecting the vox in a way where it makes a beat apparent without any actual percussion
I love Jerry Seinfeld. I love all the stories about the show and how they stuck to what they truly wanted to do. He he knew the perfect timing. I so respect that.
My favorite episode is “The Gum”. Jerry wearing those glasses was hilarious and to top it they made Elaine lose a shirt button 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌❤️
not to mention the whole arc with that lady thinking George is crazy is hilarious
The only show I can watch over and over knowing I've already seen each episode at least 5 times.
You really get a sense of his heart in this interview. ❤
Jerry’s talked about this quite a few times, but this is my favorite version of it. Only Howard can draw this out of guests…
By battering them with questions hahaha
@@bradleylovej Howard actually let him finish a sentence. That's rare
Only Howard can get someone to talk about something that they have already talked about a million times before??
OK Ralph?
When he’s not talking over them after just asked them a question, sure
He and Chappelle *
He could have gotten 110 million for 1 more season....from what I've read, he still makes 100 million per year from all the syndication /streaming deals.
The thing I love about Jerry more than anything is he doesn't lie and doesn't try to dress up the past, he tells the truth as best he knows it no matter what angle the other person is putting on it
Gotta admit: Seinfeld is a comedic genius! 👏🔥👏🔥👏
He is
The real genius is Larry David. Seinfeld is funny, but Larry is at one level above.
no, really don't...but he is a murkin...
Much smarter then given credit for.
Just watch Curb Your Enthusiasm season 7 for the greatest Seinfeld reunion. It was great seeing them all together. Honestly, the best season of Curb.
I LOVE Seinfeld's reaction when he hears Larry ask that lady how her daughter's pussy was doing.
Jerry first ran the show on his own in the 8th season and it’s always been one of my favorites, it’s the one big time period in the show where Jerry employs self deprecating humor, including a whole arc in which his comedy is taking a downswing and his parents (and Kramer😂) are trying to convince him to take up a Bloomberg executive training program, it was pure gold!
Gold Jerry! ,Gold!
Season 8 was better than season 7 for me despite what the Larry loyalists say. Season 7 didn’t have as many great episodes, and the Susan plot line while funny is not the series best. In my opinion the show was exactly the same after Larry’s departure and most of the episodes in season 8 were absolutely hilarious.
@@Danker19991 agreed!
Love Seinfeld, he's so powerful the way he speaks.
I still watch it every night before bed
Same here brother, it's been my routine for 18 years and just can't stop lol
The finale episode was an indication of what Jerry’s pov was about the show. If it was any other sitcom, the final episode would be about uniting Jerry and Elaine as a couple
Not all 'sitcom' finales focus on 'X and Y characters finally getting together / reuniting', tho. The '30 Rock' finale didnt show Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy getting together, for example.
I think it was the final show of Season Two where Jerry and Elaine had gotten back together. That's the "this, that, and the other" episode. Larry and Jerry thought the show would be canceled. The network had always wanted Elaine and Jerry back together, so that was the finale...so they thought at the time.
The Merv Griffin show was my favorite episode also. Lol
this is probably my favourite interview of all time. so good.
A sense of timing is everything. Unfortunately, I have no sense of timing.
Seinfeld is nothing but authentic. At least he got one more bite at the apple with the reunion on Curb!
He is a pedo so he is something else too.
Exactly. Authentic to the hilt.
True. A breath of fresh air. You can just feel that the truth is important to him.
Just don't ask him about dating a minor and you're good.
The point at which it’s too much cake…Perfect analogy!
The Merv Griffin episode was a comedy gold. When Jim Folwer said “where are the cameras?” and Jerry was looking around for cameras 😂
Best sitcom of all time, not even close .
Not even close
@@jamessollazzo4860 every ones dead and gone
How do you evaluate? Was Babe Ruth better than Hank Aaron?
Greatest comedy sitcom of all time. Nothing will ever top it.
False. Greatest tv show, period.
FACTS 💯
@ ASIAN CONNECTION but he was on the show
@@asianconnection7701it’s the perfect recipe …they all have to be in the show to create the magic
The fact that it only won ONE Emmy for best comedy series and Frasier won 5 in a row during Seinfelds glory days is a disgrace.
No show comes close. Seinfeld ruled the 90s
the Simpsons
@@adrianbiber5340 agree . But Seinfeld was much much bigger than the Simpsons at that time
Frasier was really good a well
Frasier and Friends were also great
Friends was the only other show to rival Seinfeld.
Great interview with respectful questions from Howard
Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David meeting is the comedic equivalent to Jimmy Page and Robert Plant meeting…
We have watched and rewatched the Sienfeld series in it's intirety several times over the years. It's that good!!.
I love jerry! Always be a fan and my wife and I catch him at the Beacon theater in NYC whenever he does a few shows there.
0:10
Tremendous respect for him: he realised he stepped into leadership position of the perfect team and his role was to guide them.
NBC Thursday nights were a sight to be seen in the 90s.
Jerry is just smart and he honors the CRAFT OF COMEDY WHICH I LOVE...
Truly, the sitcom was a Masterpiece.
Great artists know when to leave the stage. Charles Aznavour said that you have the stage and let the public wanting for more. Seinfeld also had this great sense of timing.
Even this little clip is such a good interview.
Classic Comedy! ❤
Jerry and Larry
Geniuses!
The funniest thing Jerry did was not hug Kesha. That was hilarious.
For a long time the Merv Griffin episode was my favourite Seinfeld episode. Such a brilliant idea, although dubious you’d find a network TV program set in a dumpster. My current favourite is the Stand In - where George dates that woman for spite, and Mickey & Kramer are stand-ins on All My Children
2:24 surprised Stern didn’t know this. That episode was particularly famous for NOT saying it.
If The Office had ended when Michael left . That show would be up there with Seinfeld. (My opinion)
Nah, it was brilliant with Robert California
Hollywood's problem is that they have the exact OPPOSITE approach to Jerry.
Love that, even after years of being a smash hit success, Jerry Seinfeld could find gratitude in learning how to be a showrunner, something he said he didn't think was in him before Larry David left. Goes to show you there's always room for growth and learning something outside your comfort zone!
Seinfeld is the pinnacle of Sitcoms
Everyone added something to the show, from the mailman to Kramer to Georges parents.
Jerry was smart not to continue. Seasons 8 and 9 without LD were entertaining, but it was carrying on thru the name I think. It was less Seinfeld formula and more slapstick, physical etc...
this is very authentic and i could listen for hours
I could listen to these two for days
This spiel from Seinfeld should have served as a lesson for Howard. He should have wrapped up in 2015 at most, now he's a sad character that has lost most of his fans.
Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia could have learned the lesson about knowing when to walk away. Seasons 2.5-7 are near perfection. And while its still got its moments its a shell of itself.
No sunny is still better than the best seinfeld season.
@@timothycarey3883 i think even charlie and rob would disagree with that ludicrous statement
@andrion waser he says he would have done another season, not another 10. Look st the simpsons, lost its entire Jenna say la croix.
@andrion waser devito in taxi and sunny are nothing alike.
Awesome interview..love JS..GOD BLESS
"One sponser pulled out, with some blowback" 😁
full respect that's why by far Seinfeld will remain the best show,
with every character as a legend
I remember staying up till 11pm to watch seinfield, such a good show, my favorite of all time
Great interview. Gotta Love Jerry. 😀😃😄😁
my version of a Bronx Tale “door test” is asking a chick what do you find funnier Seinfeld or The Office..
I go with the Bronx Tale trucker test
Both good but in different ways... your brother Noel is a big fan of the former as you know.
That's quite the minefield you have them in. Both are great shows.
Or Friends
Mine is Seinfeld or the Big Bang theory
Greatest sitcom of all time
Outstanding interview!
The exact same happened to me once, that's crazy.
What Jerry says about having too much is exactly how I felt about John Wick 4. Loved the movie, but I got a little fatigued by the end.
Same and idk if you've heard, there's going to be a 5th lol
@@steveroonie37Lol it is?
110 Million in 94 is almost a 1/3rd of a billion now
The show ended in 1998.
That episode is the best, I laughed just watching the setup
It takes balls to walk away from money when you know you've creatively exhausted your character exploration
Love Jerry. Brilliant comedian.
Larry David, brilliant.
Howard is such a great interviewer.
Seinfeld was the best show in television history, compared only maybe to I Love Lucy.
I compare it to Mash.
Great insights! I still miss the show!
