- In 1997, Steve Kroft sat down with comedian Jerry Seinfeld, whose quirky television show about a handful of neurotic New Yorkers quickly became a ratings juggernaut. Kroft also spoke with the show's co-stars. This Sunday marks 25 years since the "Seinfeld" series finale.

"people that read tabloids deserve to be lied to" 🤣
Damn..... Interesting point.
Twain-esque
Larry David bitching about the camera angle in his first appearance in the segment is just perfect 👌🏽🤣🤣🤣
The more one watches Seinfeld the better it gets.
As Kramer said - levels Jerry 😂
it ages like fine wine...
Always fresh, always funny, even watching for the tenth time.
@@kathyduby8150 I’m either watching repeats or watching the DVD’s.
It's only the pilot that was a bit underpar
What I love about Jerry and Larry David is that they give people themselves and don’t try to pretend or hide who they are. Like Larry leaving the show because he was burnt out and wanted to try something else even when the show is wildly successful.
"People that read tabloids deserve to be lied to."
What a brilliant line and he came up with that on the fly!
Seinfeld is still funny & a relatable show for anyone who lives in cities especially.
Or if you're Jewish then it's even more relatable.
@@BeranM OR IF YOU'RE ANYONE FROM ANYWHERE WITH EVEN HALF WAY SMART. IDIOTS NO NEED TO REPLY

It portrays human nature down to the tee
I didn t know i was in a city
"Who leaves a country packed with ponies to come to a non-pony country." Best line ever!
I had a pony!
I watched this episode yesterday, it never gets old😅🤣
That's what's so great about Seinfeld still so quotable
@@gracepeterson7483 Best comeback ever. Best delivery too.
Brilliant
God...I was in highschool when Seinfeld was still at its peak.
Crazy how quickly life flies by.
You both peaked at the same time congrats 👏 😅
@@mr.monitor. that's what she said.
you ain't seen nothing yet!! lol
I was in highschool when it ended
So was his girlfriend..lol

Genius ⭐️
I am Nigerian and I have watched seasons of Seinfeld more than I count and it keeps getting better and better. Great Sitcom
That whole back-and-forth on marriage was absolutely priceless.
It's a prison- you're doing time!
Right.... So True. 😹
@@BillWarrellFLRealEstate Lol..! 😹
Even in the late 90s he was telling jokes from the mid 80s that he’d still be telling in the mid 2000s!
Greatest show of all time, simple as that.
Curb made me belly laugh more, but yeah, in the top 2.
Second to prime simpsons, in my opinion
Seinfeld and South Park both take the #1 spot for me
Two and a half men
All in the Family
Seinfeld is like fine wine, gets better and better with time.
maybe like ice in the freezer? itll stay good forever
Agreed....now I'm in my 30's, I relate to it even more.
Still, I love how he dodges these invasive questions and has fun with the interview.
Right... You definitely have to move a certain way with People in these interviews.. They WILL TRY YOU and Try to get you to say something THEY wanna hear.. But Not everyone moves in Stupidity.... People are crafty & snake-ish.
watching Seinfeld is so timeless and the humor is classic
You’re wrong. Curb your enthusiasm is much better also written by Larry David and uncensored. Not to mention there was no script. It was all ad-lib.
The best sitcom there has ever been or ever will be
The only sitcom
Larry Davis a decent writer. He had pretty good writers and good character s playing his firneds true. He ought to cut that idiotic stand up out though its so stupid uts annoying
@@katbrown1449 larry david does standup..?
If you're a Jew
@@SH-zz2ef no way. not in the same league
When the interviewer ( Name?) says, " But you've been able to disguise it as family entertainment", and Jerry bursts out in laughter, what a feather in your cap! To be able to tell people, " Yeah? Well I made Jerry Seinfeld laugh one time."
Steve Kroft, I think.
I love how honest this interview was. There is no better show and there never will be a better show.
Met Seinfeld at a Dodger game, early on, when the show was called “The Seinfeld Chronicles”. He was walking through the concourse around the 7th, I called out ,Hey Jerrraaaaayyy, from about 20 feet away. He stopped, turned around, I told him I loved the show, we shook hands, he said thanks, we went our ways. Didn’t wanna bug him for an autograph and that was pre selfie. If it were to happen today, i’d play it the same way.
Seinfeld is a unique genius comedian. You can view any episode again & again & it’s always hilarious! Thank heaven for him!
Yes, but Larry David wrote the episodes primarily
@@brassattacks2411no Jerry did also. There is a reason curb isn't as funny.
60 Minutes should post the full archives online
The writing is genus but I feel the cast and other characters they chose really is what made it so successful. ❤
True.....
he is smart enough to know that in his sitcom, others were more important than he, and that is super rare
'I never thought that I could do what I'm doing now. I'm very proud of the fact that I believed in myself...
and that I turned out to have something, because I didn't really know.
The fact that I bet on myself & didn't lose, is a pretty deep reward.' - Jerry Seinfeld
It’s such a great relaxer at the end of the night. Funny, good pace, relatable humor
Thanks for these archived interviews (It’s gold, Jerry. Gold!)
Flawless interview/retrospective.
The writers throughout the series deserve WAY more credit. We never hear anything about them but they created everything
The writers created everything ? Jerry and Larry wrote 50 of the episodes . Every single other episode written by the other writers had to go through Jerry & Larry for the first 7 seasons and in seasons 8-9 after Larry left it was up to Jerry . Nothing passed through Larry or Jerry without them rewrites or tightening up scenes from those 2 .
Exactly what Mercury said. I read a book by one of the writers - he actually was a comic, played the really boring guy who Elaine dated bc he couldn't remember her name, ended up on Raymond I think? Anyway, he said Larry told the writers to come to them with ideas about stuff that happened to them in real life and pitch them as storylines. They (I get the impression mostly this was Larry) would then workshop the ideas and create their A/B/C storylines from all these ideas. Then one writer would be assigned to doing the outline for the ep, but pretty sure Larry & Jerry actually then wrote all the dialogue. That's until as stated S8/9 where it was much more traditional sitcom writers room, which is no surprise while they contain some gems are responsible for 100% of show's few clunkers.
@@tombonneau Cheers man .Spot on here .The fella you are referring to is Fred Stoller who was Elaine's forgetful boyfriend in "The secret code " ep .
Fred wrote "The Soup " ep - the one where Bania gave Jerry an Armani suit . Jerry takes him out for dinner and Bania has soup . The other ep he wrote the Kramer and the chimpanzee incident subplot in "The face painter " ep .
Yeah the dynamic of the show changed after Larry left at the end of season 7 became more absurd but in a good way .
Seinfeld was Larry & Jerry's show with Jerry taking sole responsibility for seasons 8-9 .
The DVDs and box sets of the show throughout the years are jam-packed with interviews with the writers. They are prominently featured. They definitely got their due credit.
bro that's writers in general. Directors get all the credit when its like cheating on someones test and passing it off on your own.
I was born in 93 and I love this show. Didn't understand it until 2008. He is one of the goats of comedy. Being able to blend controversial topics in a daytime 90s show is amazing.
@Aaron Lashomb yes I am a youngin. When I started watching it was 5pm~. Not 9pm like it was originally showed.
Yes great actors, but also genius writers, some of my favorite lines starting with Kramer... "Jerry don't worry about it, these big corporations write everything off" Jerry... "They write what off? Kramer... "Whatever they want" Jerry... "You don't even know what a write off is" And to me, the most genius line Kramer comes back with... "Well they do, and they're the ones writing if off"
“I wish I had the last 20 seconds of my life back.”
He's correct about Robin Williams, who (bless his memory) was "that kind of guy" - George Carlin also. But Jerry is very clever.
I watched Seinfeld in the 90s and I think 2012-14 again and NOW I do it again and it is still funny!!!
Larry David was always the genius behind this operation
This fact somehow gets lost in the shuffle..
Came here to make sure everyone knew that Larry David was the special sauce. Jerry is annoying AF. Thank you!
It's Paul and George. Both are amazing. Together, Perfection
@@davidwright873 It may seem that way because Larry never appeared on camera in that show. He got his own show afterwards ("Curb Your Enthusiasm"), and the residuals from "Seinfield" are also keeping him well-fed. I wouldnt worry about him and his legacy.
@@wylierichardson-tu6zs He did too appear on camera in Seinfeld.
Seinfeld, the comedian. Thanks for sharing it, again! The finale here is priceless, motivational..."I never thought I could what I am doing now... I believed in myself, and I turned out to have something 'cause I didn't really know.... The fact that I bet on myself and didn't lose, it's a pretty deep reward." 😀
"These pretzels are making me thirsty!"
That stinks. THESE pretzels are making ME thirsty!
Howard Stern's version of "At Seventeen" by Janis Ian starring Jerry Seinfeld and Shoshana is one of the greatest bits ever.
Its pure genius, i didn't watch it for a long time....but when you go back and watch it....its just a finny as ever
How can anyone not like him!
What I like about Jerry Seinfeld even his stand up Comedy is clean! You don’t have to use foul language to be funny! Jerry is a prime example!
Excellent point.
True.....
What’s wrong with foul language? I find it fascinating some people prefer comedy without curse words. Genuine question. TIA!
My 85 year old gramma liked seinfeld back in the day cause she said they were a perfect example of young people nowadays. She said to just make sure people got tv, big macs and a phone and theres no threat of revolution
I've been in the business for 42yrs Its all about the writing and the casting
Just saw Jerry at Caesar’s Palace last week - he’s still incredible!
Sweating under the scrutiny.
Jerry's standup act is hilarious & a must see.
Been falling asleep to Seinfeld for the last 15yrs. 🤷🏽♂️
“People that read tabloids deserve to be lied to.”
An actual real tour love it
Awesome to hear him share, thank you for posting!
My favorite comedy of all time 🎉🎉🎉
I love how when they step into the room with his writers there are about thirty different boxes of cereal
Great writing and great acting make this a classic
Seinfeld is my favorite show of all time and I was born a month before this 60 minutes episode aired!
"I bet on myself...and it turned out...is a pretty deep reward". lovely.
He started dating Shoshanna when she was 17 and he was 38 😅
And when Paul McCartney was being honored at the White House during the Obama administration - and Jerry was asked to do a few minutes as an intro... he kidded McCartney about the lyric "She was just 17... You know what I mean" - saying what did you mean, Paul...? Btw... Paul was just 19 when he wrote that song.
he wasn't married, he didn't already have kids, like he says, he was kind of immature. And he has pretty good genetics and looks 10 years younger than his age. And to cap it off, they're still married and seem to have a solid marriage. So people need to get over it, stop being jealous.
@@monkeyb1820 "they're still married"? who? Jerry and the college chick broke up the same year this interview was filmed. he married his current wife, whose 18 years younger than him rather than 21 years younger than him, a year or two later (after the woman completed her divorce from her new husband who she had just returned from their honeymoon with when she began dating jerry, of course)
@@ereek5 sorry, I did mean to track down my comment. He did indeed break up with shoshana, got involved with Jessica (there was some drama there), but he and Jessica seem to have a strong marriage and mostly stay out of the limelight.
13:57 is my favorite part of this interview
I still love the library one with the library police Mr. Booker. Comedy gold right there!!!
14:39 - "The fact that I bet on myself and didn't lose is a pretty deep reward." That, right there, is more New York City Jewish than Katz's on Houston St. Not "bet on myself and won", but "bet on myself and DIDN'T LOSE!" :D
Kramer is the best of them all
I met Jerry when he came into the shop I was working in. We had a fun little exchange 😅
My very favorite TV show of all time.
“Bad things happening to selfish people” sums it up pretty well
Love this show, I started watching it when I was 16 and I think I have a bit of every character in my personality in a very unconscious way ❤❤❤
We still watch the re runs and absolutely Love Curb ❤️
These shows have been divinely inspired.
George by far is my favorite!!
Definitely
"I bet on myself and I didn't lose"....That is the goal of life right there.
Pure genius, always fun
"People that read tabloids deserve to be lied to..." 😂😂😂
I love some of the Seinfeld shows even today.
Seinfeld couldn’t have been more genius comedy
oh look he's humble. what a guy
they are like the Beatles of sitcoms/tv
That's what Michael Des Barres Said he was an actor on the smelly car episode
The legend of legends.
Best show ever made!
Thank you Seinfeld! 😊
Jerry Seinfeld is the GOAT. Just ask him about it, he'll tell you.
Legend.
Mr. Seinfeld has really something to say. It´s inspiring to listen to him. Thanks for the great entertainment, that was like a good friend in many hours of solitude.
The funniest sitcom of all time.
Love, love, love Jerry Seinfeld!
Great ending line.
Intelligent, thoughtful guy.
"the people that read the tabloids deserve to be lied to"... best line of the whole interview
Yeah... I never thought about it like that.
I can’t believe I’m still watching this 😊
That colored car still got me
7:35 what a casual work environment
I love how they insinuated things and didn’t say the words. Lol and the way it got zany later.
King of humor
Greatest Show Of Any Time
Take it or leave it, no middle answer with Seinfeld. Godspeed, dude.
This is GOLD Jerry, GOLD.
I still watch his show and laugh. It was genius!
Good for him and the rest of them. The older I get, the better it is. Well deserved fame.
I have been watching Seinfeld for 30 years now and will until my last breath . Giddy Up !!!
When the trio described "real life Jerry" as a guy who has more money and when Jerry said, "they plot against each other, for short term gain", felt like they weren't 100% joking.
When you bet on yourself and you do not lose it is a pretty deep reward.
Not sure yet if I liked the Seinfeld show. I've seen each episode at least 10 times and still love watching it. I guess I like it. "No soup for you!" "He pulled it out?" "Are you still master of your domain?"
"tippie toe! lemon tree!". "these pretzels.. are makin me thoisty!"
"he took. huh huh. it out"
what about "I was in the pool!" 🙂
@@wylierichardson-tu6zs "it shrunk?" "like a frightened turtle"
@@wylierichardson-tu6zs Elaine: "Why does it shrink?" George: "It just does." Great episode also.
Thirty some years later still watch nightly re runs still funny !
The best show ever, at least since I have been alive. (Apparently there is a case to be made for M.A.S.H. as well, but that was before my time.) Something magical went right even beyond the excellent writing, though that was a very important factor. It must have been a wonderful experience to be involved with a project like that.
His last sentence pretty much sums it all up
I used to work all evening shifts and missed seeing this or didn't have time to watch. Retired now and watching all of these shows. I see ow why it was and is so popular.
