Jerry Seinfeld says he regrets claiming the extreme left suppressed comedy. Jerry Seinfeld: I did an interview with The New Yorker. Tom Papa: Mhm. Jerry Seinfeld: And I said that the extreme left has suppressed the art of comedy. Tom Papa: Mhm. Jerry Seinfeld: I did say that. Tom Papa: Yeah. Jerry Seinfeld: That’s not true. (laughs) It’s not true. Tom Papa: No? Jerry Seinfeld: No. Again, you want to go back. Let’s go back to our solid, liquid analogy. Tom Papa: Okay. Jerry Seinfeld: And the other thing that I have said about this: if you’re Lindsey Vonn, if you’re a champion skier… Tom Papa: Uh-huh. Jerry Seinfeld: …you can put the gates anywhere you want on the mountain. She’s going to make the gate. Tom Papa: Right. Jerry Seinfeld: That’s comedy. Tom Papa: Mhm. Jerry Seinfeld: Whatever the culture is, we make the gate. Tom Papa: Mhm. Jerry Seinfeld: You don’t make the gate, you’re out of business. That’s your job. You make the gate. The culture moves. People are different. They react differently. Your job is to make the gate. If you can’t make the gate, get another job. That’s what I think. That’s how I feel about it now.

Seth Rogen says Jerry Seinfeld accidentally buried his Just For Laughs audition when he was 15 "I’m about to go up, and someone comes over and they’re like, Jerry Seinfeld is about to show up and he’s going to go up instead of you" "I’m like, I’m gonna go on after Jerry Seinfeld? They’re like, yes" "He comes and just annihilates. Then he gets off stage and they’re like, and now, from Vancouver, 15 year-old Seth Rogen" "I bombed horribly, and I did not get into the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival. I told Jerry Seinfeld that story and he was completely uninterested"

While filming the SEINFELD episode "The Abstinence", Jerry hadn't seen what Michael Richards's constant cigar smoking makeup looked like. Combined with Richards never going full force during rehearsals, and only seeing his real performance during the live taping, Jerry couldn't help but break character 😂

Jerry Seinfeld apologizes after realizing he hurt Adam Carolla’s feelings by refusing to look at his Porsche. Jerry Seinfeld: He came up to me and said, “Hey, my 935 is here. I want you to see it.” Adam Carolla: Mm-hmm. Jerry Seinfeld: I thought, for me to get to where his car was, I’d have to move through a lot of people. I was already dealing with a lot of people. At a big Porsche event, I get a lot of interaction, which is great. I love meeting people and I love the fans. Adam Carolla: You’re a very recognizable guy. You’ve been in the public eye for a long time. People recognize you at any airport. But if you go to a Porsche event… Jerry Seinfeld: It amps it up. Adam Carolla: It amps it up. The recognition factor is off the charts. Jerry Seinfeld: So I said, “Why do I have to see your car? What does it do for the car if I look at it? Nothing. It doesn’t add value. All that’s going to happen is I’ll walk over and say, ‘Hey, that’s cool.’” Adam Carolla: I know. Jerry Seinfeld: And I thought, if he needs that, what kind of comedian needs that kind of recognition? So I said, “I don’t need to do that.” Adam Carolla: I’ve been saying for years they should brick up the Louvre. What does it do for the Mona Lisa if you look at it? Jerry Seinfeld: Yeah, but you do get it. You want the recognition of saying, “I have this.” I’m the opposite. I’m not a “look at what I have” guy like a lot of car guys are. Adam Carolla: Right. Jerry Seinfeld: I’m very low-key. I never like to show my stuff. I do it for me. I enjoy it. There’s a whole show-off segment of the car community that I don’t love being around. Adam Carolla: Yeah. They’re called most car guys. Jerry Seinfeld: I thought I was just being smart-alecky and funny when I said, “I don’t want to see your car.” But I later saw Adam talking about it, and I realized I had hurt his feelings. I felt terrible, and I wanted to come here and apologize for trying to be funny in a way that came off as nasty.

Jerry Seinfeld: I'm never not working on material. Every second of my existence, I'm thinking, could I do something with that? Howard Stern: That, to me, sounds torturous. Seinfeld: Your blessing in life is when you find the torture you're comfortable with.

Jerry Seinfeld explains why he turned down $110,000,000 to make another season of Seinfeld. Jerry Seinfeld: “That was Larry David’s idea.” Howard Stern: “NBC didn’t say, ‘Hey, you’re mentioning masturbation’?” Jerry Seinfeld: “Never said the word. One sponsor pulled out of the show that was all I remember in terms of any sort of blowback.” Howard Stern: “Warren Littlefield wrote that if you would have given him another season of Seinfeld, he would have paid you $110,000,000 for the year, and you said no. Is that the ultimate integrity?” Jerry Seinfeld: “I could have gotten more than that. “Integrity is a nice word, and a flattering one. I appreciate that. That’s what’s fun about coming on your show, you really want to be honest, because that’s what you bring to it. “The love affair between the people making the show and the audience was so intense, so white-hot, that I had to respect it. I couldn’t let it get to the point where it started to age and wither. It can only stay that way for so long. “We had this hot, intense season, so the audience would have a feeling that it never was bad.”

Jerry Seinfeld explains why Tom Brady missed the perfect retirement Jerry Seinfeld: Let’s go back, if I may, to an obsession of mine, which is Brady winning that Super Bowl with Tampa Bay, his first year out of the Patriots. How do you miss that moment as the greatest retirement opportunity? I mean, I went to another team and took them all the way, my first year. Anybody in show business would know, “I just did the impossible.” “Goodnight, everybody. You’re old anyway. This is not going anywhere. Take that trophy and say, ‘I’m out!’” Adam Carolla: I know. Jerry Seinfeld: That’s show business! That’s good show business! But these guys don’t care about show business.

Hugh Jackman says Jerry Seinfeld turned down $100,000,000 to do another season of Seinfeld and told him to walk away from Wolverine the same way HUGH: "I had a great chat with Jerry Seinfeld. I sat next to him and I asked him, I said, 'How did you know it was the end?'" HUGH: "We were getting offered whatever money they were getting. It was 100 million he got offered to do another season." HUGH: "He said, 'I believe you leave. Leave when you're not like I'm done.' He says, 'Because if you're done, it will affect your next thing.'" HOWARD: "I was going to say to you, no offense to Jerry Seinfeld. That's the worst advice I ever heard."

Norm Macdonald realizing halfway through an interview that he has no clue how many kids Jerry Seinfeld has is peak comedy. The way he just moves on to talking about legal jargon is why nobody else comes close to his timing. Norm: You don't have a child. Jerry: Pardon me? Norm: You don't have a child. So you don't have to worry about. Jerry: I don't? I have three. Norm: Well, that is what you thought, then. It is honestly impressive how he can just derail a conversation and end up talking about how breaking and entering sounds like a landlord problem.

Jerry Seinfeld says he wouldn’t be able to do many jokes from ‘SEINFELD’ in today’s world. “One would be Kramer decides to start business of having homeless people pull rickshaws because, ‘They’re outside anyway.’ You think I could get that on air today?”

Larry David says he was ready to quit Seinfeld if NBC refused to air “The Contest.” “The Contest sat in my notebook for three years.” “It was a Seinfeld episode built around a masturbation contest, and I thought there was no chance NBC would approve it.” “I didn’t even tell Jerry about it at first.” “We had a board with all the upcoming Seinfeld episodes on it.” “I refused to put that one on the board because I didn’t want the network asking questions.” “I knew it was something special.” “By the time I pitched it, I’d already made up my mind.” “If they didn’t do the episode, I was quitting Seinfeld.” “That was always my move. I was always threatening to quit.”

Jerry Seinfeld says Seinfeld only survived because one NBC executive reallocated funds from Saturday Night Wrestling to make four more episodes Rich Eisen : “Was it truly a pitch about a show about nothing when you actually pitched it?” Jerry Seinfeld : “No, no, no, never.” Rich Eisen: “What was the original pitch line?” Jerry Seinfeld : “The original pitch was how a comedian gets his material. Which Larry and I knew we were lying when we said it, because nobody wants to see that, it's not interesting. But it sounds good to a network executive.” Rich Eisen : “Right.” Jerry Seinfeld : “So, they gave us a pilot. They didn't like the pilot. And then Rick Ludwin said, 'You know what? I think this show isn't that bad.' Everyone disliked it. And Rick Ludwin said, 'I'm gonna take some money from Saturday Night Wrestling.' In those days, professional wrestling replaced Saturday Night Live once a month.” Jerry Seinfeld: “And he took the money from one of those, and it was enough money for us to make four episodes. We made four episodes, they still didn't like it. And then Fox said, 'We want the show,' and then NBC said, 'Okay, we'll make a few more.' They still wouldn't order it; they just didn't like it.” Rich Eisen : “So, which episode turned the tide? Was there one in particular that turned the tide, do you think?” Jerry Seinfeld : “No. No, but when they put it after Cheers, we got ratings.” “And then they put us on Wednesday night, and we went in the toilet again. We had four years of struggle, which, you know, we didn't really care, we were just having fun doing the show.”

Also, how are you worse than a kick streamer? Like straight up objectively, a far worse person than the kick streamer in this situation.’’
