He’ll do stand up and sit down. Because if you can’t get your friends to appear, then you might as well hang it up. Question is, does anyone still care about Seinfeld anymore? Sure, it was great when his show first went into syndication. But now I haven’t bothered with those reruns of the reruns of the reruns in years.
Loading ... Loading ...
What is the deal with Nikki? I just don’t get it. For most of us in the 20-40 range, Seinfeld is our show. He can have extremely questionable relationships with women and we still turn the other cheek. That show still amazes me and, if I am ever in traction in a hospital, you better believe it’s Jerry that will keep me smiling. NO SOUP FOR YOU.
Yes people care about Seinfeld. I care about him very much. And Nikki, maybe you’re too busy ripping on people to know that a Seinfeld reunion is planned for this upcoming season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, a show which is great and since you hate great things, you probably don’t like. Many of us grew up on Seinfeld and still quote his show daily – are you kidding me, best sitcom of all time. I’ll be tuning into Jay for Jerry.
I probably watch more Seinfeld on a weekly basis — especially during the summer – than any other show. It never stops being funny.
Unfortunately, you can’t really say the same for Jerry. I desperately want him to make something great again.
Billy Crystal wasn’t available?
I would like to see, and believe, Leno will fail as much as anyone, but this is a good booking.
Twice every night on channel 13. “Curb” reunion will make the greatest and most “re re re”watchable sitcom relevant again.
Jay didn’t secure Jerry. Jerry’s need for another hit show (The Ref) and NBC’s desperation to have something people wanna watch secured Jerry on Leno
I love the post-show über-rich Doesn’t-Give-An-F curmudgeon Jerry a lot more than I liked him as an observational comic.
But I’m not watching Leno.
People of a certain age love him. And Leno’s musical guests for the first show are Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Riahnna. So there’s something for the old and the young.
It’s excellent an excellent booking strategy. Frankly I’m impressed.
More important question: who does Conan have on that night?
The series is making a comeback in the pre-pop world…all the 90′s flashback stuff along with the bright neon fashion. Seems like a good move for Jay — and draws the audience he’s looking for at 9pm.
he tours regularly you fuckin douchebag
Desperate times for NBC calls for desperate measures and getting this once-popular hack back on the airwaves must be their reasoning for higher ratings…YEAH RIGHT!
Bad move, Leno. But you’re known for making ‘em.
Seinfeld fans. Just a lot of hooligans.
Not sure what you’re thinking here, Nikki. Doesn’t matter how long Seinfeld has been off the air. Cosby has been off even longer, and when he’s on Dave he still gets laughs and is a great talk show guest. Big name, still funny. What else do you want for opening night?
For us in the 20-40 range, Cheers is much better in reruns than Seinfeld.
I can’t stand to watch Seinfeld reruns anymore.
Three’s Company and Cheers over Seinfled any day….
ROCK ON CHEERS!!!!!!!!
I still care about Jerry. Still think he made the funniest sitcom ever, so that alone has my eternal respect. The guy remains one of the funniest pweople on the planet.
I guess I’m in the minority on this next thought: I believe that Jay at 10 pm is a good idea and it may be a consistent hit and ratings winner — as long as NBC doesn’t screw it up.
You’re absolutely right, Nikke…the US lives in the past.
Seinfeld on Leno = Back to the (same old) Future.
Our technolgy changes and grows but we don’t make big cultural leaps anymore as a society.
It’s 2009 already…we should’ve been listening to drum + bass by at least 1995 — with about two major social revolutions under our belts, by now!
Henny Youngman wasn’t available?
Does it really matter who they book for the first show. They just want to declare Jay the King of 10pm after one episode. The real question is how many telecast before Carrot Top headlines?
When you consider the way this decade has been dominated by reality shows, it’s not too surprising that Seinfeld can still be a draw.
Seriously, who’s going to make people nostalgic 5, 10 years from now? Simon Cowell? Jon and Kate?
Please.
Seinfeld’s appearance is part of NBC’s all-out, shameless attempt to get people to watch “Bee Movie” on HBO Family, September 17th at 2:30pm.
“More important question: who does Conan have on that night?”
I don’t really think anyone cares.
NBC should fire Conan and give the Tonight Show to Seinfeld. I predict there will be active discussions about doing just this a year from now because Conan is getting worse and worse. He had a brilliant show in New York and 12:30 was the ideal time for him. He’s bombing terribly at 11:30 it’s painful to watch. Mark my words O’Brien is done for there’s simply no way to fix his show it will just get worse and worse.
And it will just be a matter of timing the announcement that O’Brien has been given the axe. The Tonight Show with Jerry Seinfeld would destroy Letterman and Jerry would be King of Late Night for at least 10 years which is exactly the right time for him to do this gig he’s still young enough that he could rule the airwaves at 11:30 for a decade. Nobody will be able to touch him.
Conan has no one but himself to blame for his horrible show he let the idiots dumb his humor way down to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Way to go Conan. You had the best show ever now you have the worst. Spin all you want pal because as you flush yourself down the toilet your spinning will get faster and faster until you’re out of sight.
Nikki – you’re right and you’re wrong. I still love Seinfeld (the show) and watch reruns obsessively.
But that doesn’t mean i really care about what any of the actors are doing/saying now.
