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!

1. Sounds like Larry needs those arteries in his neck that carry blood to the brain cleaned out again.

2. Just knowing this old man is humping that young chippy is enough to make me sick. I remember my grandfathers wrinkly skin before he died at Larry's age. When I'd see it I felt sorry for him because he aged as naturally as possible. Well Larry is doing the same thing but he has that young thang hopping on top of him at times. She must be sick or hard up. He's a hunched over midget with money.

4. Keep your shirt on Seinfeld! Larry can make an honest mistake. Not everyone in the entire U.S. watched the show even though it was great. :)

5. Seinfeld's an arrogant ass... The world would go on fine without him, contrary to what he thinks of himself. I think Larry King proved just how forgettable he is.
His appearance on Letterman ripping Missy Chase Lapine was a disgrace.

7. I think Jerry needs to get his ego in check. Not everyone, especially educated people who are doing their own shows watched Seinfeld. I did not like it, nor do I like him, but that's okay. Many people liked him, he got rich, married a woman who was on her honeymoon when they met, and seems to be happy. Not everyone knows Jerry or Larry. Probably most who watch Larry don't watch Jerry. Egos in check boy, ego in check.

8. Jerry is an ass. He and that bitch wife of his need to be bitch slapped.

9. Jerry you are acting like a meshuggeneh! I love you, but you don't have to jump on Larry like that.

10. Fan of Larry - it has nothing to do with ego. If you run a talk show that has guests do your goddamn research - otherwise, what's the point of even having guests? Opinions on Jerry's personality are irrelevant. A talk show host should at least read the info that their staff prepares before the interview.

11. He is a total cu@t!

12. When a show goes off the air most people think it was cancelled. I was not a fan of the show then. So as I can see I was not alone

13. larry king has stated that he does absolutely no research before any interview. he wants the interview to be "spontaneous". so you may think he is just playing dumb but he really is just ignorant- on purpose! I saw the interview- that part anyway, and its just like most of the others- a lowest common denominator Q&A- and do you think he "remembers" the seinfeld show? he doesn't remember what he had for dinner last night- HE IS AS OLD AS DIRT. i know i'm not hurting his feelings because he doesn't own a computer and never has. i wonder if CNN is hoping he will kick the bucket on the air- for ratings of course- because he is the epytomy of SOFTBALL interviewers. did you see paris hilton's chat with larry? he asked her if she does drugs and she said no- there was no follow up to that question, no defining drugs or drug use. he is just a publicity platform, like a store's front window.

14. They're both a couple of has beens. Its common knowledge King does do homework or prep work before his interviews---claims it keeps him openminded. Uh, the real reason is he is having trouble keeping up with that young wife he promised a singing career to and the young boys they now have that could qualify as great grandchildren for him.

Jerrys coming out act is wearing thin on most. The cookbook rip off and Imelda Marcos shoe gifting to Oprah his wife pulled is shameful. Than Jerry's hateful comments about the real author on Letterman shows how shallow that Hermit really is.

The Bee Movie Publicity and overkill shows how Hollywood Insiders take care of one another. I hope the thing bombs.

Larry and Jerry---made for one another.

15. Seinfeld needs to be careful about those zingers. King was getting repect when Seinfeld was in diapers
