Jerry Seinfeld Has His Regrets About The ‘Seinfeld’ Finale
11 October 2017 2:00 PM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
It’s not just the fans of Seinfeld that had major regrets about the ending of the show, but the namesake of the show as well. Jerry Seinfeld actually felt that they shouldn’t have done the show at all, or should have at least found an ending that could work for the cast and the fans in some way. Too many shows have ended on such a sour note simply because the entire program was canceled, the writers went on strike, or the writers couldn’t come up with anything new so they just quit. The issue with comedy is that having

Jerry Seinfeld says he can no longer enjoy Bill Cosby's work, just a few years after everybody else
7 October 2017 1:45 PM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
Jerry Seinfeld is a guy with a reputation for caring about jokes and comedy above all else (give or take a cup of coffee or a fancy car). Seinfeld doubled down on that humor-over-everything attitude last week, when he went on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and the two ended up on the subject of comedy legend and…

Jerry Seinfeld Responds to Steve Bannon Profiting From 'Seinfeld'
7 October 2017 12:17 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter - TV News | See recent The Hollywood Reporter - TV News news »
Jerry Seinfeld doesn't care that former White House aide and Breitbart boss Steve Bannon invested in his show Seinfeld.
When asked if he felt "responsible for the 'alt-right'" during a Q&A following his talk with David Remnick at the New Yorker Festival on Friday night, Seinfeld replied, "No," adding that it was tough for him to have issues with any of the faceless investors involved with Seinfeld.
"I mean, there are dozens and dozens of investors and people you don't know about," he added. "These are giant multinational corporations. NBC [and] Turner, and [NBC] got bought by Comcast."

It’s been 19 years and fans are still debating the “Seinfeld” finale. One of the most-anticipated sendoffs of all time, the comedy’s last episode also proved to be one of the most divisive. Jerry Seinfeld was asked about the polarizing last hurrah at the New Yorker Festival last night, where he admitted that “I sometimes think we really shouldn’t have even done it.”

“There was a lot of pressure on us at that time to do one big last show, but big is always bad in comedy,” he continued. Rather, it should be “small and cheap and quick,” which is why Seinfeld also thinks TV is always funnier than movies, “because you don’t have that much time and that much money.” The episode ends with all four »

6 October 2017 9:08 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
In a New Yorker Festival conversation with the magazine’s editor, David Remnick, Jerry Seinfeld covered a wide range of topics in a 90-minute session that was equal parts stand-up, deconstruction of stand-up, and reflections on his singular path to the top of the comedy heap. Given a fond hometown welcome at the Society for Ethical Culture, where he and Remnick both sent their children to private school, Seinfeld showed that at 63, his keen observational skills and… »
10 Actors to Watch: Kumail Nanjiani Builds Buzz for ‘The Big Sick’
4 October 2017 10:00 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Kumail Nanjiani is one of Variety‘s 10 Actors to Watch for 2017. For the full list, click here.
Fans of HBO’s “Silicon Valley” are familiar with Nanjiani, but ever since Sundance he has broken out on the big screen thanks to sleeper hit “The Big Sick.” The actor had studied computer science, but switched to comedy between his junior and senior year in school because he realized the only thing he could become is a professor. “It was not that interesting to me and I was very bad at it,” Nanjiani says. “I never really felt stupid in my life, but studying computer science, I felt really stupid.”
Standup comedy beckoned and then film and television. He racked up a lot of credits with characters such as: Cable Guy, Statistician, George the Counter Guy. As a South Asian, he has seen his share of stereotypical roles. But he’s grateful to those who pushed for change, including »

School is in session; Professor Stephen Colbert residing. The CBS “Late Show” host regraded President Trump’s Puerto Rico response following Hurricane Maria’s devastation in the U.S. territory.

My 5: ‘StarTalk’ Host Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Favorite Comedians
3 October 2017 7:00 AM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »
“For so many people, learning is a chore, but laughing is not. If we can combine learning with laughing, you can teach anybody, anything,” says famed American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who does exactly that as host of the National Geographic talk show StarTalk, which returns on Sunday, Oct. 1 with a new season of facts, laughs and plenty of A-list guests.
While the show regularly features scientific commentary and cosmic queries, it’s all delivered with a comedic punch. And in today’s polarizing political climate, Tyson says “it’s a comedian’s obligation to challenge social, cultural and political norms.” If they are not, then no one is being challenged to think, he adds.
So it makes sense then that so many funny people, including Ben Stiller, Jay Leno, Larry Wilmore and Whoopi Goldberg, have stopped by the show. “When a comedian is on the show as a guest, I don't seek »

Jerry Seinfeld no longer thinks we should distinguish Bill Cosby the comedian from Bill Cosby the man. We think. “Can you still listen to his comedy?” Stephen Colbert asked his Friday guest about the stand-up whom they both most-admired as kids. “Oh, yeah,” Seinfeld replied, echoing logic he’s previously shared with Norm MacDonald and others.

At Netflix's premiere of Jerry Seinfeld's long-awaited stand-up special Jerry Before Seinfeld, held Sept. 19 at the Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study, the Q&As weren't the usual humdrum.
After Netflix boss Ted Sarandos chatted with the legendary comedian about his prolific career, his strategy for crafting timeless jokes and when he'll get around to turning in that second special the platform ordered ("Might be a couple years [before] I'll get the time to do it," Seinfeld admitted), the chief content officer called on an audience member who had his hand in the air.

Tom Cruise caught a ride with Conan O'Brien in a pretaped segment for Tuesday's episode of the TBS late-night show Conan.
Joining the host in London, Cruise hit the road with O'Brien behind the wheel. "We’re going to do 'Carpool Karaoke,' right?” Cruise asked, confusing O’Brien’s segment with fellow late-night host James Corden’s popular sketches in which celebrities belt out songs while cruising the streets. When O'Brien explained that wasn't what he had planned, Cruise inquired if they would be getting coffee together, as seen in Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
O’Brien had something bigger planned, however. “We’re going »
