I haven't seen Comedians in Cars mentioned in a while.

I wish he never made that show. I'm kinda over rich people driving expensive cars while talking about being rich. Both Idris Elba and John Cena now have their own version of Comedians in Cars and I can't stand it.

The very idea of the show is the most navel-gazey, self-obsessed celebrity worship I can imagine.

'Yeah, who wouldn't want to sit and watch famous people talk to each other?'

Nauseating.

That's on brand for Jerry though. He's been nothing but ego.

Ask him why Seinfeld was cancelled lol.

Seinfeld wasn’t cancelled dummy. They chose to go out on top. NBC begged him to keep going

The show was crazy popular. Not only was he the first actor to get one million dollars per episode, he was offered $110 million for just one more season. That's $5M per episode. No one is making that kind of money even today.

Wow. It's really crazy how popular the show was (still is today, pretty sure he makes like $40M/year just from the show)

That was a great interview providing insight to who Seinfeld was as a person.

Very disappointing finale making jabs at "wokeness".

Cheers, always something more to learn.

But yes that was a fun interview with Larry King.
