It was a dumb question. Of course it wasn't canceled -- everyone should know that. ESPECIALLY someone inviting Seinfeld on their show to discuss his career and new movie. You could tell Jerry was harmlessly ribbing King. It's actually refreshing to see someone like Seinfeld put a journalist in their place instead of smiling and nodding in approval.Quote:

oh whatever neck hair. Seinfeld's a pretty safe bet when it comes to comedy. I haven't heard any of his new material, but his old stuff coupled with his delivery was funny. Not to mention his show was, and still is in 8 years of reruns, one of the most consistently funny ones on television.Quote:

This is what made the show so well rounded, and why its enjoyed the longevity it has in syndication.
He jokes about airplane peanuts and shit.
If he was the mastermind behind the tv show or whatever, kudos to him, but every standup act of his I've seen was very unfunny.
qft (quite fuckin true) Larry King is a poor interviewer. Sure ain't got nothin on Charlie Rose.Quote:

He never had it. His stand up was the driest, dullest crap at the time, and he got by on the whole "didya ever notice..." schtick, even though there have been far funnier comedians doing it long before he did. But then, he's not the only crappy stand up with a show. Ray Romano's act was just awful. I think both he and Seinfield were greatly helped by a much more talented cast making them look good.Quote:

Larry King is the asshole there. He goes into every interview completely unprepared and doesn't know shit about who he's talking to any more.
Seinfeld is a dick, too, but he has every right to be the kind of dick that he is.
Charlie Rose rules you
