  • I turn around.

  • It's You were very nice conversation and it got me thinking You're just walking down the street backpack and I thought, What is it like for you to walk through Manhattan?

  • It seemed to me like you're that kind of guy that just walks around.

  • Well, you're kind of that guy to you walk around, Yes, but it was a very interesting moments.

  • Oh, you know, you see that?

  • That's how I am with my wife everyday.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • It's like when you don't answer the phone and you don't know who is there, who is it, Right?

  • Oh, but people are there.

  • Be when people see you come out of the television.

  • You're the, you know, the so famous for being a New Yorker.

  • Yeah, and you are the same.

  • I don't know.

  • People think I come from some other dimension.

  • You know, I'm not the parade float going down the street.

  • I don't think it's the same.

  • People don't connect me on a human level.

  • It's like being in a focus group all the time.

  • People are always telling you I didn't like the Zantac joke last night.

  • You know, you're always getting ratings on everything you dio doorman or just yelling at me or cabbies.

  • They yelling me and you know how you're doing.

  • They go.

  • I like this.

  • I don't like that, right?

  • You know what I get?

  • I get people telling me I saw that thing you did on the show last night.

  • Let me explain to me why they were up a 12 30 e.

  • I love that thing in the show last night.

  • You see, I take a medication for a rash at 12 30.

  • All right now, do you have said famously, It's been quoted a lot that you think New York City, Manhattan is good for comedians.

  • It's good for comedy.

  • What's the theory behind?

  • Irritation is good for comedy Bond.

  • Everything in New York is irritating.

  • I have always right thing about how I used to love the thing about when you're in New York and in the back of the cab and you look through the glass.

  • It seems like it's happening on TV and whatever the guy does, you think, Oh, well, he's a cab driver.

  • I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

  • You don't think for yourself.

  • He's going to kill May.

  • It doesn't seem really trust.

  • You see the license and you trusted, even though a lot of the letters air like elements from another planet or something.

  • But you just trust in New York that cab drivers know what they're doing.

  • But it is very annoying that you put your life in this person's hands that you don't know.

  • You've never met them, don't know them.

  • They've never been here before And I'm sure he knows what he's doing right.

  • Right now you are.

  • You also said you think it's good to be a cranky guy, that comedians are all cranky, a little bit irritable.

  • Do you think that's really Yes?

  • Yes, you name it.

  • I can't stand it right.

  • That's where it all comes from.

  • I don't like things.

  • Everything s things irritate you.

  • Everything irritates me.

  • Humans all inanimate matter.

  • Oxygen it all your total irritates me.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah, Well, what a wonderful life.

  • Well, you know, you try and make a joke about I want to mention something else.

  • You're also here to mention and it deserves mentioning Seinfeld, the complete Siri's That's box set which nine years of my life in that box right here and, uh, in phenomenally successful show, and I wanted to point out quickly a show.

  • I think a lot of people don't know this.

  • It's surprising people just accept when something's a success, and I think it was always a success.

  • Seinfeld struggled, actually remembered in the early years.

  • It struggled.

  • 3.5 years were very borderline.

  • People didn't at NBC.

  • We're not excited about this show.

  • When we did the pilot, there was only one guy at NBC who really did like the idea of his name was Rick Blood when he was from the late night and specials department.

  • And he's still with NBC.

  • In fact, he's here tonight, and I would like to introduce seven right there.

  • That's E.

  • That's what he does now.

  • Yeah, his reward.

  • His reward for saving Seinfeld and making it all happen is to stand and monitor each one of our shows.

  • If it wasn't for him, that would be an empty box right now, and I deserve mentioning.

  • We struggled to in the first a little longer than you, probably, and Rick Ludwin was one of the people who stepped in and said I think this show has potential and he was eventually proven wrong.

  • So thank u E.

  • You're batting 500.

  • Good for you.

  • B movie is in theaters now.

  • Seinfeld.

  • The complete Siri's will be in stores on Tuesday.

  • I think anyone's gonna wanna have that big throw for us.

  • Thank you so much.

  • Seriously, big.

I'm sitting here with Jerry Seinfeld.
