Seinfeld to King: "Do You Know Who I Am?"

It's hard to tell when comedian Jerry Seinfeld is joking and when he's serious, but he looked a bit perturbed when Larry King mixed up his details about Jerry's classic show. What's the deal with that?


On Thursday's "Larry King Live," the King asked Jerry if "Seinfeld" was canceled back in the day, and Jerry seemed genuinely shocked that Larry (his "Bee Movie" co-star) didn't know. "You think I got canceled?" Jerry shot back. "=I was the number one show on television=, Larry ... 75 million viewers in the last episode." Clearly, Larry is not master of his domain.

As Larry played it off and went to commercial, Jerry threw in one last zinger: "Can we get a resume in here for me for Larry to go over?" Zing!

316. I really wish you dumba$$es would read the comments or do a little research- they are good friends and they were messing around in the interview (as stated over and over again in these comments). But people just open their mouths and rant and look like idiots. And yes, I understand that a lot of people didn't like Seinfeld, but if you've never heard of it you must be living under a rock.

317. it wasn't always popular...in fact it almost didn't get picked up and as a matter of fact in 1988 they showed the pilot and then you couldn't find the show again until NBC brought it back from FOX...Seasons 1-3: The early years

The show premiered as The Seinfeld Chronicles on Thursday, May 31, 1990 on NBC. The show was not an immediate success. After the pilot was shown, on July 5, 1989, a pickup by the NBC network did not seem likely and the show was actually offered to Fox, which declined to pick it up. However, Rick Ludwin, head of late night and special events for NBC, diverted money from his budget, and the next four episodes: "Male-Unbonding," "The Stakeout," "The Robbery," and "The Stock Tip" were filmed. These 1990 episodes were highly-rated as they followed Cheers on Thursdays at 9:30. At one point, NBC considered airing these episodes on Saturdays at 10:30 but instead gave that slot to the short-lived sitcom, FM (TV series).(courtesy of Wikipedia)

318. Maybe it's Jerry that needs the check. These stars' egos are just absolutely ridiculous. "Do you know who I am"? Who cares who you are? Any of them! There's a war going on in Iraq where we're losing men and women everyday. I for one could care less who Jerry is or whether or not Britney has on underwear today.

319.
Probably one of my favorites, the one where Jerry steals the marble rye bread from an old

old lady and runs off with it . oops , art imitateing life ?

lol ! Heard the movie , BEE MOVIE is really a DEE MOVIE ....and Howard's cousin who coined the phase , "give bees a chance" is suing Jerry for using that phrase in his movie promos . although , as stated this morning from a caller on Howard Stern, Howard's cousin took it from the beatles song : GIVE PEACE A CHANCE at which point Robin quips, oh they both stole it !

320. Jerry called Larry out on his stupid question that was designed to get "a response" .... well he got one alright.

Why ask a question if you know the answer? What is the freaking point of an interview then? No wonder Jerry was irritated. And funny also :)

322. is it larry seinfeld? oh i mean jerry seinfeld, woops. i never voluntarily watched that show unless there was nothing else on (pre-cable days). in any case, since i wasn't a seinfeld fan, i thought larry king's question was genuine. jerry didn't have to get all crazy; he's a shallow and arrogant jerk...im certainly not gonna buy any crap he tries to sell either now for sure.

323. Many times, Larry's "softball questions" arrive at the plate full of mush. He is used to just bringing up subjects, as opposed to asking questions, and allowing his guests to frame and answer their own questions. Now that the political season is upon us, expect a lot of "mushballs", especially with the guest democrat party candidates. The next time HRC appears on Larry's show, you won't even see him. He will be on the floor kissing her feet, allowing her to ramble on anything she wants. Who watches his show anymore anyway?
