Jerry Seinfeld Was Offered $110 Million to Make Another Season of “Seinfeld” (2013) 

Mad respect for him walking out on top. Felt that way when the show ended, feel the same today.

Kramer eating snacks during the "commercial break" on the Merv Griffin episode had me dead.

jerry always makes perfect logical sense. it's a rare gift.

9 seasons of a show where almost every episode is a classic. unheard of before or since

Seinfeld is the GOAT. Just ask him - he'll tell you

Too many American sitcoms pump out season after season, Jerry is spot on with leaving at the perfect time while the audience is in love with the show.

The way Kramer says “And we’re back!” while eating the chips and drinking a soda on the Merv Griffin episode was actually a funny psychological reminder I would use when I would observe my mind drifting from the moment.

Jerry is such a badass. He's so calm and collected and no nonsense. I love him

Mad respect for Jerry to look past the money and have a good sense of what they created and how it was ingested by us and gauging the show's place in the world. Just wow.

True authentic conversation at its best. And I love how Jerry references to Howard that coming on his show, it allows for truth and and authenticity.

How do you not love Jerry. I’ve seen every episode probably 5 times, it deeply shaped my sense of humour growing up.

Watching through Seinfeld with my wife as we started the 8th season I said, "Watch, the show will be worse without Larry David." To my surprise it was just as good and sometimes even better.

"The word masturbation wasn't used in the masturbation episode" "But one sponsor pulled out" *I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE*

"Do you get fatigued when people talk about their favorite seinfeld episode?" "no" "my favorite episode is..."

What a Legend. We all would have loved another season, but Jerry was also 100% correct to go out on top.

It's amazing how seinfeld actually had so much raunchy plots, but made it feel family friendly

Any episode with the Costanzas gets me every time

Great interview. I love Jerry’s energy. I could listen to those 2 talk for hours.

I remember Jerry being interviewed after the first season in his new home that wasn't furnished yet. He had a review framed on the wall that he read to the interviewer where the critic bashed the supporting cast. Jerry looked at the interviewer and said, where could we have come up with a better supporting cast?

Jerry is one of the most balanced celebrities of all time. Mad respect

Both of My Labours Started on a Thursday Evening in the 90’s While Watching “Seinfeld”. ❤🍁

Considering the syndication rights to the show 110 million is chump change.

I love the fact that the episode where George Costanza (Larry David) says, "This is the show!" is confirmed here by Seinfeld to be how the show came about! One of the most meta shows in history!

Jerry is so down to earth and honest. Love him

This show in 2023 still holds up!

Loved watching Seinfeld every night after school, it was just a different type of show!

Howard interviewing Jerry Seinfeld’s biggest fan.

You know you're rich when you can turn down 110 million dollars. You don't even want to know what I'd do for a fraction of that money.

Please upload more of this interview

Jackie Gleason did the same with "The Honeymooners"

Jerry already had double syndication in the books and he owned the show. For him $110 million was what he'd make anyway within a few years of the show being in syndication.

He went from the show to starting & raising a beautiful family. I’d say that’s pretty awesome.

Absolutely 💯 I remember a bunch of conversations about them ending the show. I’m happy he went out at the TOP! ✊

Curb is an incredible follow-up project for Larry. It is possible to get from under the shadow of Seinfeld. Julia had a couple of hits after Seinfeld too.

I saw Jerry’s stand up in Philadelphia 10 years ago. I cried laughing for most of the act.

Howard Stern has this trait where he likes to explain to the guest how something happened, will get a number of things wrong, and then is corrected by the guest. Overall, he's a good interviewer, but I can't that he tries to drive the conversation instead of giving his guest some room to actually answer.

Please we might want another Seinfeld but we don't need one. Seinfeld is a freaking classic

nobody loves jerry more than jerry

Love the way you can hear the side chain compression affecting the vox in a way where it makes a beat apparent without any actual percussion

He's completely right, too many great shows just go way too long and it does change your opinion about them.

You really get a sense of his heart in this interview. ❤

The only show I can watch over and over knowing I've already seen each episode at least 5 times.

The Merv Griffin show was my favorite episode also. Lol

Jerry first ran the show on his own in the 8th season and it’s always been one of my favorites, it’s the one big time period in the show where Jerry employs self deprecating humor, including a whole arc in which his comedy is taking a downswing and his parents (and Kramer😂) are trying to convince him to take up a Bloomberg executive training program, it was pure gold!

I love Jerry Seinfeld. I love all the stories about the show and how they stuck to what they truly wanted to do. He he knew the perfect timing. I so respect that.

Love Seinfeld, he's so powerful the way he speaks.

He could have gotten 110 million for 1 more season....from what I've read, he still makes 100 million per year from all the syndication /streaming deals.

A sense of timing is everything. Unfortunately, I have no sense of timing.

Jerry’s talked about this quite a few times, but this is my favorite version of it. Only Howard can draw this out of guests…

Greatest comedy sitcom of all time. Nothing will ever top it.

I still watch it every night before bed

this is probably my favourite interview of all time. so good.

My favorite episode is “The Gum”. Jerry wearing those glasses was hilarious and to top it they made Elaine lose a shirt button 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌❤️

Truly, the sitcom was a Masterpiece.

Gotta admit: Seinfeld is a comedic genius! 👏🔥👏🔥👏

Classic Comedy! ❤ Jerry and Larry Geniuses!

Seinfeld is nothing but authentic. At least he got one more bite at the apple with the reunion on Curb!

The point at which it’s too much cake…Perfect analogy!

The thing I love about Jerry more than anything is he doesn't lie and doesn't try to dress up the past, he tells the truth as best he knows it no matter what angle the other person is putting on it

Jerry is just smart and he honors the CRAFT OF COMEDY WHICH I LOVE...

Best sitcom of all time, not even close .

We have watched and rewatched the Sienfeld series in it's intirety several times over the years. It's that good!!.

Great interview with respectful questions from Howard

Larry David is the genius

I love jerry! Always be a fan and my wife and I catch him at the Beacon theater in NYC whenever he does a few shows there.

Just watch Curb Your Enthusiasm season 7 for the greatest Seinfeld reunion. It was great seeing them all together. Honestly, the best season of Curb.

Even this little clip is such a good interview.

Hollywood's problem is that they have the exact OPPOSITE approach to Jerry.

Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David meeting is the comedic equivalent to Jimmy Page and Robert Plant meeting…

The Merv Griffin episode was a comedy gold. When Jim Folwer said “where are the cameras?” and Jerry was looking around for cameras 😂

I could listen to these two for days

The finale episode was an indication of what Jerry’s pov was about the show. If it was any other sitcom, the final episode would be about uniting Jerry and Elaine as a couple

For a long time the Merv Griffin episode was my favourite Seinfeld episode. Such a brilliant idea, although dubious you’d find a network TV program set in a dumpster. My current favourite is the Stand In - where George dates that woman for spite, and Mickey & Kramer are stand-ins on All My Children

The exact same happened to me once, that's crazy.

this is very authentic and i could listen for hours

No show comes close. Seinfeld ruled the 90s

Great artists know when to leave the stage. Charles Aznavour said that you have the stage and let the public wanting for more. Seinfeld also had this great sense of timing.

I remember staying up till 11pm to watch seinfield, such a good show, my favorite of all time

Everyone added something to the show, from the mailman to Kramer to Georges parents.

Greatest sitcom of all time

The funniest thing Jerry did was not hug Kesha. That was hilarious.

Awesome interview..love JS..GOD BLESS

Seinfeld is the pinnacle of Sitcoms

110 Million in 94 is almost a 1/3rd of a billion now

Great interview. Gotta Love Jerry. 😀😃😄😁

That phase of sitcom was epic 👏🏼👏🏼

"If the people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." Thomas Jefferson

Seinfeld made way more than $110m by ending the show when he did

Outstanding interview!

0:10 Tremendous respect for him: he realised he stepped into leadership position of the perfect team and his role was to guide them. NBC Thursday nights were a sight to be seen in the 90s.

Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia could have learned the lesson about knowing when to walk away. Seasons 2.5-7 are near perfection. And while its still got its moments its a shell of itself.

my version of a Bronx Tale “door test” is asking a chick what do you find funnier Seinfeld or The Office..

I love this interview!I love Larry David’s show as well.CYE❤

2:24 surprised Stern didn’t know this. That episode was particularly famous for NOT saying it.

Still my favorite show

Enjoyable as always #LoveJerry4ever

Great insights! I still miss the show!

That episode is the best, I laughed just watching the setup

And in the end there was no more soup for us!

If The Office had ended when Michael left . That show would be up there with Seinfeld. (My opinion)
