2006 - Jerry Seinfeld (The Michael Richards Show but NO Michael Richards)

Late Show with David Letterman

[@strictlycasual765]

79,000,000 viewers watched the finale that’s just fucking mind blowing and won’t EVER be repeated for any show ever again that’s a stone cold fact

One of his strongest interviews. The real Seinfeld was starting to emerge here

[@tHeXeKuter]

Dae Mitchell yeah i agree. the public was starting to understand the brilliance of the man because we were starting to see him outside the show

[@GeneBurnett]

I like the way he tied it all together with the "small time mob boss" bit.

[@ReonKad3]

by far one of the funniest interviews ive seen. The animation was the cherry on the cake lol. Seinfeld is a legend and Letterman compliments him well.

[@MrT67]

O think that the thing about Seinfeld's comedy is that it lends itself well to interviews because it's about everyday stuff that everyone can relate to.

So when he said you don’t want to rant at hecklers he was referring to Michael right?

[@tomggabin5838]

Another interview where Letterman was completely unprepared and, if I may say so, an emotional wreck.

[@mmafyasco]

why does the title say 'the michael richards show' ? the fuck ? he's not even on here

There was an apology message (about his racist rant) from him during that Jerry's visit (something like 7 minutes) that was cut from this video.

[@mook9708]

It was at the end and edited out....Good seen enough of the Kramer meltdown and his pathetic apology....his rant at the Laff factory was no laughing matter...he ruined his career in minutes....used to love Seinfeld back when they were new and in reruns.....after seeing Richards' show who he was, I'm not interested in the show anymore...he can spin it anyway he wants, he's a blatant racist...

[@MarcusJohnson98]

Back when late night was actually entertaining

[@danshazam8511]

Jimmy Kimmel is far more entertaining then past late night shows.

[@strictlycasual765]

[@camillelambert5474]

Why does Jerry says 'thanks for helping my friend' at the end?

[@Roesch03WRX]

I believe it was gratitude for David promoting Js friends book

[@dan_gee]

The title - He is thanking Dave for having Michael Richards on the show, but as the title suggests, he is not in this clip.

[@camillelambert5474]

@@dan_gee I don't understand the title either

[@dan_gee]

Michael Richards is the person who played Kramer on Seinfeld, Jerry's friend (who he refers to in this clip, thanking Dave). When this episode of Letterman went to air, they had a segment with Michael Richards (via Satellite), who came on to publically apologize for the incident that happened around that time. Jerry was thanking Dave for having him on to be able to do that. In this particular KZbin clip, it doesn't show the segment with Michael Richards, hence the title - The Michael Richards episode, without Michael Richards.

[@camillelambert5474]

Jerry is fascinatingly tedious. It's like, he's not funny at all. Nothing funny about his jokes. But he's got perfect timing. His timing is off the charts. So he's delivering dull joke after dull joke but with pitch perfect timing so it's kind of interesting to watch anyway.
