I also interpreted the clip as him trying to take a joke a little too far and not really giving up on it or knowing where to go with it.

I had the same impression of his TV show.

Yep that's why it was so awesome.

I can't decide.

Yeah, Seinfeld looks like a meglo-maniac, but what an utterly stupid question by Larry King!

ok, I decided...

Jerry has a right to be indignant and insulted. Not only did he have a #1 show, but they invited him to do an interview without even making an effort to ask him intelligent questions.

Re: The first time Jerry Seinfeld made me laugh (new)
 

I kinda hope Seinfeld wasn't seriously pissed off because he definitely looked like a d-bag there.

Re: The first time Jerry Seinfeld made me laugh (new)
 

Larry King asks the dumbest softball questions always sucking up to his guests big time, I saw 5 mins of him interviewing a 'psychic' once, it was torture.

At the same time, Jerry shouldn't get upset because he should know that's the kind of thing Larry does and he should be happy to have an hour of airtime with someone who almost certainly wont shut up about how great bee movie is.

Of course that's all moot because I think Jerry was just exhibiting a very sarcastic sens of humour and wasn't really upset.

Re: The first time Jerry Seinfeld made me laugh (new)
 

Yeah, if the end of the clip proved anything, it's that he was poking fun at Larry's question.

Not to take too seriously what Jerry says, but have there ever been shows that were, at one point, number one, that eventually got cancelled? (Or perhaps he was saying his last show was rated #1. I can't tell, I've been drinking)

Oddly, this particular clip cuts out a lot of the laughing that goes on in between what they talk about, making the whole thing look more serious.

Re: The first time Jerry Seinfeld made me laugh (new)
 

People... Larry King KNEW that the show wasn't cancelled. He asked the question for those in the audience that didnt watch his show, as well as to get a reaction out of Seinfeld in the process.

And all Seinfeld did was play back at King. His fake shock and anger was an intentional act to outperform King.

All they were doing was leveling each other.
