But Johnny always recovered and that would often be infinitely funnier than the original bit. Back then late night hosts didn't kiss a guests ass. They often insulted them with sarcasm and back handed compliments. Johnny & Letterman were masters at it. But of course, Letterman, Olberman, Stern etc. have retired their anti-establishment role once held by comedians as the modern day fool, court jester, speaking truth to power.

Despite the vulgarity and desperate need by people, especially women, for attention and validation, we are a much more prudish and provincial society today.
Thank you Mike for your podcast with Jason Alexander. The way the industrial media complex has caused me to rely on podcasters like yourself, Alex Jones, Mark Dice, Benny Johnson and others. If I come across a telly with the fake news on, I can't take it. I'll start to scream at the screen. I have learned to just walk away. I feel sad that Mark Dice actually watches the fake news so that we don't have to. So, thank you again for what you all do.
The trick is understanding that it's all fake. People who tell the truth don't get a voice. Tʜᴇʏ make sure of it. Not saying everybody in the so-called conservative news is aware they're part of it, but it's all fabricated to destroy our credibility, all the way up to that actor who got elected twice for playing a fake strawman republican. Because that was still better than the alternatives.
The trained actors that propped up some of these “let’s give a comedian a show” series from back then can’t get enough credit. Alexander to Jerry is the same as Laurie Metcalf (and Goodman) was to Roseanne, without those real actors holding the first few seasons together while the comedian learns how to act the shows would’ve died on the vine.
Seinfeld being a show about nothing is the biggest practical joke played on the audience. Think about this: each episode began with Jerry doing a stand up routine with jokes that would later relate to the episode. Instead of a show about nothing, it's really a show about how stand-up comics get material for their routines, that being, everyday life.
It’s probably more accurate to say it’s a show about the mundane because It’s a show about nothing in the same way when someone asks you what you did today and you shrug and say nothing. Of course you did something, but you did nothing out of the ordinary or worth really talking about and that is the genius of Seinfeld, they made a series about the “nothings” in every day life. Waiting for a table at a restaurant is not a story worth telling, but somehow they turned it into a classic 30 minute episode
At least, it started out that way. Then it just became "hey what do people who aren't just destroying themselves with work all day, because they're nightclub comedians, unemployed losers, or whatever... do with their day? While the Waltons are over there being perfect, what are a few schlubbs from New York up to?"
The past couple months I’ve been rewatching Seinfeld, so many great memories with my family around the tv. In maryland in the 90s, the channel fox5 would play 2 episodes of the Simpson’s, then friends, then Seinfeld from 6-8 Monday through Friday. I’m 36 and that memory of eating dinner and laughing with my family is something I’ll always smile thinking about.
@@SnoopyReads I would say Modern Family and Mike and Molly can trace their roots through to the classic sitcoms, so even though they're well done and certainly creative for how they do things, but I wouldn't consider to be creating a new thing. Parks and Rec is directly from The Office. The American version of The Office has the British version of The Office, which technically is a mockumentary, and that's been around a long time. Plus, none of them are new. Every genre of entertainment needs an infusion of young, envelope pushing, creatively groundbreaking talent, but we just aren't cultivating or curating it. Nobody is taking any chances. Sooner or later though, something will pop and everything will fall in line behind it.
I think the original Show About Nothing was the Jack Benny radio show. Particularly in the 1940's. Most of the shows are about getting everyone together at Jack's house for a rehearsal which never happens. Some are about the show itself. Some are going shopping or taking the train to NYC or coming back. But the best are probably "Jack Takes a Walk" or goes down to his vault. The show is in another class compared to the frenetic Milton Burl Show or the quite clever Red Skelton or the oddball Gracie Allen George Burns show. A lot of these shows were archived by the US Army for broadcast in other lands where Americans were based.I listen to them and I think of Seinfeld every time I hear a Jack Benny. Benny's cast of regulars is so much like Kramer and Newman and Elaine and the rest. I have wondered if there was any direct inspiration.
Some of you say he has TDS. He does but I'll give him kudos to appear on a show helmed by a ''conservative''. I saw the whole interview it was very good. We need to see more of this.
Nonsense- we aren’t giving out atta-boys or standing ovations for doing what you’re supposed to do to promote your product. MJ always said ‘republicans buy sneakers, too’ and refused to pick sides in a public forum; it’s too bad more people weren’t capable of just sitting their traps and doing their job.
@JumpCutThis agreed. Pat maholmes takes this approach too. As far as actors, Kurt Russell. It's common sense. Why would anyone alienate possibly 50% of your audience?
What happened to commercials? Like for products we actually use. Im sick of pharmaceutical adds. So sick of it. They don't know their audience. As a gen x i can say we are a rebellious generation. We do the opposite of what is pushed and shoved at us. Go back to trying to sell us shampoo and cake mix already.
What happened to Straight, White men in commercials? Television is dying because they’re neglecting the majority. Video on Demand has supplanted television programming. Wokeism destroys all that it touches.
@@CathyHolton-jh1xv Are you actually serious? You're sad and you think there is a decline in society because "WAAAH NOT ENOUGH WHITE PPL IN MUH CASSEROLE ChIcKeN COMMERCiAls" .

As well as degenerate. I was a HUGE Seinfeld fan, as can be seen by my avatar, but I started questioning my media viewing after having children in 2001. I no longer watch Seinfeld or movies that I used to love like Boogie Nights and American Psycho because it hurts my soul and is an affront to God. I’m not perfect and slip sometimes but I know I’m headed in the right direction
@@lloydbraun6026I stopped watching Seinfeld also for the same reason. I still watch Older sitcoms from 80's and 90's which aren't sexually explicit. Jerry Stiller in The King of Queens cracks me up. Seinfeld's cast learned comedy from Stiller. Larry David in Curb your Enthusiasm was funnier than Seinfeld.
They're fun to watch because they have all of our worst instincts but we don't succumb to them like they did. At least we try, those of us with a conscious. It would be fun to be attractive, clever, confident and fun & TOTALLY SELFISH and have a fulfilling life but of course that is impossible. The characters of Seinfeld used the people around them to gratify themselves, then dropped them. That would make me miserable, so fast.
@@lloydbraun6026 It's not that deep. How they are in the show is part of the comedy. You're not supposed to follow the characters as if they're Jesus. You're supposed to laugh at the silliness. Watching movies and shows for enjoyment has nothing to do with who you are as a person. Who you are as a human being isn't defined by the shows and movies you enjoy. There is a separation there. You can continue to watch shows you enjoy without letting it hurt your soul. Jerry Seinfeld can't hurt your soul. You do that to yourself when you beat yourself up about it when you don't have to. You can enjoy your shows and movies and still feel great about who you are as a person, with your soul untouched by the media you watch.
It is a show about how karma always wins in the end. These four people were awful (btw Always Sunny stole this from seinfeld) and never got what was coming to them until the very end.
I'd love to hear JA discuss his character in "Big Time in Hollywood Florida". He played himself as a vile monster who totally dismissed his time on "Seinfeld" and proudly proclaimed that he made most of his vast fortune as a kingpin in the world of child sex trafficking. That show was definitely madness!
of course he does. His tribe believes socialism can work out for the best, despite history showing otherwise. It's part of the indoctrination they put all their children through for centuries, and still do. Kinda hard to break through that level of cultural stonewalling.
Seinfeld is a comedy about modernity, and how we can see the most awful people and say “yeah that’s pretty normal”. Most of Seinfeld you don’t ever get moments where on its face you’re immediately thinking every person here is terrible. It’s like a vague sense but all their actions in isolation are just like any other person you know but amped up to 11. Most of us probably see traits in the cast of Seinfeld that we could put onto people we know, Greed, lust, manipulation, envy, etc.
Mike should ask Todd Carmichael to come on the show, he is an interesting guy and had a show called 'Dangerous Grounds' about travelling to remote places to track down the best coffee for top restaurants in America. He also holds the worlds speed record for doing a solo trek across Antarctica to the South Pole on foot with no assistance.
Elephants are not being poached into extinction. From my own experience in South Africa, they are considered a pest and extremely difficult to get rid of because of how protected they are.
The Seinfeld show was about nothing, about something… representative about everyday life and conversation… a discussion of everyday life that many weren’t comfortable to have, at the time….
I agree with Jason about; there are hundreds of pod casts out there, and we are looking for that one. SNL is a looser from degrading Trump, "All" late night talk shows are the same. No one is funny anymore. Other than Tim Allen shows. Sorry, but true.
Podcasts can be a breath of fresh air when you are working in a sewer. The sewer is all the lies being told about life by the government, schools, medical profession and your employer/ union.
@@rickyspanish492 I don't care about what a consensus of morons thinks, especially ones who dig out the thesaurus to sound intelligent in UA-cam comments
Podcasting? Moments of heart. Literature? Moments of thought. Former tv producers trying to jump into either space have adjustments to make - some might make it, but most hit a brick wall: there's no laugh track in either setting.
Jason you should higher someone that can spend the whole day advertising about the podcast. I didn’t know who even had a podcast. Until today. Higher someone that knows who you are and higher someone who don’t know who you are , so they can find the happy medium, somewhere between the best of both worlds.
Who says we ought bring anything back from extinction? Things have been going extinct as part of the natural cycle for longer than we can imagine. Why ought we mess with that any more than we already have? The law of unintended consequences is a bish.
when they mean the show is about "nothing" it meant the show was about daily life and the BS that happens in everyones "boring mundane life". there was no action and adventure, there were no extremely hot people in skimpy clothes, there wasn't any ploy to destroy the world. it was just 4 friends living their daily life in NYC and dealing with the shit that happens there. just like normal people do everyday. its why so many people related to it.
Remember the JFK assassination skit with Keith Hernandez and Roger McDowell spits at Newman and it could never hit and Jerry says that was one magic Lugee? If do that scene has been edited out, wonder why?
“if do that scene has been edited out, wonder why?” excuse me, what are you trying to say? i’ll repeat what you wrote again, “if do that scene.”👈 that makes ZERO sense. maybe fix your comment.
8:00 Cute theory but the mammoths are found below the permafrost because there was no ice on the ground when they roamed around that area...

We shouldn't freak out over it based on our short lifespan and perception of progress. Before the last ice age, there was very little thick ice to be found on Earth.

I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made.

There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.

SNL is a looser from degrading Trump, "All" late night talk shows are the same.
No one is funny anymore. Other than Tim Allen shows. Sorry, but true.
Tim Allen.🤣
Trump himself is a looser. Making fun of him is kind of low hanging fruit though.
You sold the bit with the Tim Allen reference. Awoooooooooooah!
As soon as someone figures out how it works, they will "create a formula" and it will die immediately after...
I never realised George Constanza was so deep!
Podcasts can be a breath of fresh air when you are working in a sewer. The sewer is all the lies being told about life by the government, schools, medical profession and your employer/ union.
What's the truth other than something you believe to be true?
@@SnoopyReadsA consensus on an empirical, repeatable measurement of reality.
Truth is objective, not subjective.
@@rickyspanish492 I don't care about what a consensus of morons thinks, especially ones who dig out the thesaurus to sound intelligent in UA-cam comments
Podcasting? Moments of heart. Literature? Moments of thought. Former tv producers trying to jump into either space have adjustments to make - some might make it, but most hit a brick wall: there's no laugh track in either setting.
Jason you should higher someone that can spend the whole day advertising about the podcast. I didn’t know who even had a podcast.
Until today.
Higher someone that knows who you are and higher someone who don’t know who you are , so they can find the happy medium, somewhere between the best of both worlds.
I wouldn't hire someone who's as "higher" as you. 🤪
The cherry pie is to die for.
Seinfeld will never get old, it’s by far probably the best show about nothing there will ever be
The next stage is the audience becoming their own stars. The old model doesn't work when the audience are focused on their own stardom.
Who says we ought bring anything back from extinction? Things have been going extinct as part of the natural cycle for longer than we can imagine. Why ought we mess with that any more than we already have? The law of unintended consequences is a bish.
Jason looks great, he's aging really well.
What is “The Bear”?
For me, podcasts have become not only a substitute for mentors, but also for friendship ...both of which are becoming harder to find these days!
Yes, it was a show about nothing
I loved Seinfeld, it was pretty great.
I have no idea what Alexander is saying. Word Salad?
He must’ve taken some public speaking lessons from Harris herself.
Very artsy fartsy bs
It's pretty clear.

Not sure why everyone who replied to you is angry about it

Saving elephants is good, but I want to see them bring back woolly mammoths too.
books at 86 years. damnm I will be dead before 76 years. 🤣
when they mean the show is about "nothing" it meant the show was about daily life and the BS that happens in everyones "boring mundane life". there was no action and adventure, there were no extremely hot people in skimpy clothes, there wasn't any ploy to destroy the world. it was just 4 friends living their daily life in NYC and dealing with the shit that happens there. just like normal people do everyday. its why so many people related to it.
Comedy just isn’t funny, anymore.
Not in television, gotta go to the comedy clubs.
Political Correctness Killed Comedy
@@Automcanic I filmed comedy shows in the LA clubs for years in the 80s. It was a blast.
Woke people like Alexander destroy comedy.
Putting a comma after the word “funny” is funny.
I guess, we can put commas anywhere these, days. The world is crazy,
Can we get a link to his stuff Mike?
STICKIN IT!
1:50 George rightly points out where we're at with podcasts. Personally I can't stand most of them.
Remember the JFK assassination skit with Keith Hernandez and Roger McDowell spits at Newman and it could never hit and Jerry says that was one magic Lugee? If do that scene has been edited out, wonder why?
“if do that scene has been edited out, wonder why?”
excuse me, what are you trying to say? i’ll repeat what you wrote again,
“if do that scene.”👈 that makes ZERO sense. maybe fix your comment.
Hi all 👋👋
The podcast currently is the modern magazine
Seinfeld is a show about whatever you want it to be. There, win.
Am I having déjà vu or did I watch this already?
Hi Mike can you have JJ Carrell on your show
Pulp can move, Baby!!!
12 minutes in!🎉
The business aspect of this bores the hell out of me.
George was my fave

Cute theory but the mammoths are found below the permafrost because there was no ice on the ground when they roamed around that area...
Just as there is evidence of trees and plants under the permafrost. Earth is still warming up from the last ice age... Yes, it's a slow process.
We shouldn't freak out over it based on our short lifespan and perception of progress. Before the last ice age, there was very little thick ice to be found on Earth.
Great episode minus the slurping
houdini had run ins with the psychic mafia of his day
All im saying is he keeps the hot side hot and the cool side cool

I 100% agree with the police on the issue of fortune tellers bilking people. "You're dumb and gullible, try to learn from the mistake... now run along we got work to do". Seriously, if you fall for the scam you ain't too bright. Now send me my fee for being Captain Obvious, only 3 easy payments of 19.99
If comedy isn't about getting laughs anymore then maybe musicals shouldn't have music anymore.
Tom Green invented podcasting.

The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that don't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver, and digital currencies (BTC, ETH...)
I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it.
You can make a lot of money from the
market regardless of whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned.
I would really like to know how this actually works.
All you need is a good capital and the
service of a professional broker, with those your investment will most certainly produce high yields.
Do you have an idea of any good broker I
can start with?
I still watch Seinfeld most nights, only show that withstood time, I hate The Bear, I can watch first 5 years of Big Bang and some Sheldon which isn’t really funny but has some humor
I still don’t think the Bear is comedy.
More like suspense! lol some episodes get wild.
@@oscaroscar7263 That’s more accurate I would agree.
