Default The first time Jerry Seinfeld made me laugh (new)

I'm like the only guy in the world who didn't like his show.

No, I'm not saying that to be cool, or to be different. I've got to like a show's characters before I can like the show, and I don't like any of the characters on that show.

Jerry is doing the interview circuit now, and in every case, he says absolutely nothing, and the interviewers fawn over him like he's the greatest talent ever.

But now, finally, Jerry got me to laugh today--though I've yet to decide whether I'm laughing with him, or at him.

I wish more interviewees would rip interviewers for their dumb ass questions.

He didn't really think much of you either.

I was responding to a comment that the OP made. I think 2+2 is getting overrun by idiots.

Your sense of humor must be flawed.

Neither. He looked like a gigantic tool.

It's a fine balancing act. On one hand, the interviewer should know something about the interviewee. The fact that Seinfeld was the #1 show on TV is fairly well known and it is shocking that an interviewer didn't know this. It'd be like asking Tom Brady if he's ever played in the Super Bowl.

OTOH, getting too defensive can make you look like a tool.

(Totally OT: a friend of mine was at a mixer for people from technology companies. A guy from Apple introduced himself to her. She responded, "Interesting name. What do they make?")
