Jerry Seinfeld to Howard Stern Sorry for Saying You Ain't Funny ... Plz Forgive Me, Buddy!!!
update
7:05 PM PT -- Jerry's changing his tune on Howard, and he's issuing a mea culpa to his old pal. He tells TMZ ... "I really feel bad for what I said about my friend Howard Stern in a conversation with David Spade and Dana Carvey, talking about the glut of comedy podcasts.
He adds, "I meant to say he must feel surrounded but I said 'outflanked' which sounded terrible and insulting. And of course, none of these little shows are any threat to his giant show. Anyway, it was bad and I’m sorry, Howie. I still love you. Please forgive me."
Jerry Seinfeld acknowledges Howard Stern is the OG king of sitting around and recording conversations for air -- but says he just ain't all that funny in the age of modern podcasting.
The legendary standup went on David Spade and Dana Carvey's podcast, 'Fly on the Wall,' and they were talking about how popular pods are these days -- especially among comedians ... several of whom have huge cult followings.
That's where Jerry chimed in with a little for HS ... saying the guy certainly gets credit for inventing and spearheading that model with his radio format back in the day -- but noting, he's been left in the dust by all the competition of today ... that's Jerry's POV anyway.
