Jason Alexander Reaches Out to Jerry Seinfeld About Reunion | Howie Mandel Does Stuff

[@HideoGojira]

So cool that Howie Mandel can get any guest he wants, even someone like Art Vandelay the Marine Biologist.

[@MakingYouSalty98]

I thought he was a importer/exporter

I met Jason back in 2000 at the premiere for his film just looking and I asked him for his advice for an aspiring filmmaker and six years before KZbin even existed he already saw it coming. He told me just to make a movie and not worry about it was any good or I had Any money to make it just make one and then I would learn how to do it and wanna make more I’ve made 23 independent documentary films and it’s all because of Jason’s encouragement. Thank you Jason Alexander I will always beinyour debt.

It's always a pleasure listening to Jason talking. He's so well spoken and intelligent.

[@ThunderPants13]

Jason gives really good and thoughtful answers to the questions he's asked, which I appreciate.

[@tmrevenge]

Jason seems humble the way he shares his stories and how he is willing to accept his weaknesses or flaws, make him very likable

Great interview. Jason is wonderful.

[@nitro_001newman2]

This is my first time listening to Jason Alexander in an interview. He’s nothing like George in Seinfeld. Alexander seems so comfortable with who he is, and just seems to go with the flow. I think it would be very hard to rattle him or shock him. He has such a calm demeanor.

[@kiriakoz]

George is Larry David.

[@JudePi-jx7yo]

Very hard to read. Genuine good guy non hollywood. Or is he super arrogant? Or insecure. He's afraid of texting Jerry. Feels slighted. He certainly didn't get the payday that Larry and David did.

[@captaindj9790]

That’s why his a great actor🙂

[@spartyman7]

Amazing interview. Best I've ever heard with Jason Alexander. That's a credit to Howie as well as Jason.

You are killing independent George 😂❤

[@samuswilliams4576]

I love jason alexander's voice, grew up on it 😊

[@drakeelliott5079]

George Costanza is possibly the funniest character in the history of television. Jason Alexander made Seinfeld what it was and forever will be.

[@tRiNiTi]

Indeed. Jason and George are the very best of seinfeld

[@Radwar99]

I put George and Kramer on the same level when it comes to comedy. These 2 are the ones who constantly got the biggest laughs on the show.

[@williamhornabrook8081]

Jason Alexander has one of my favourite voices. He was awesome as Duckman.

[@stevesmith3033]

Duckman was groundbreaking. It needs to get more recognition. So many celebrity guests too.

[@alesitercrimson24]

Doesnt count

[@easye5653]

@@alesitercrimson24 I agree, that was more like Bizarro world! Metaverse shite. LOL.

[@caricatureparty]

As far as Jason's role as an actor on Seinfeld, and Curb as well, it's about as much as a service job and an actor's job can be. He throws himself so hard into roles in which his character is such a pathetic dufus, but he goes for it, because it's not about being cool and prestigous, but it serves the story, and it makes people laugh and he does it so beautifully and perfectly.

[@420Pikachu]

Jason Alexander's stage skills really inspire me and seeing George on Seinfeld for real is great to watch and study as someone who wants to get into acting.

[@HarryFredricks]

37:47 Man this is such a satisfying interview

[@drjaytee4838]

So nice to listen to Jason. I didn't know he had a podcast so I will add to my list.

[@kendallandrews8691]

Hopefully they talk about dunston checks in

[@thatsthegig]

Jason Alexander is an immense artist. I find it unfortunate that Hollywood never really casted him for significant leading or supporting roles in major films. He's a consummate actor who has brought SOOOOOO much joy in people's lives. Bless you Jason!

[@shopgirlkc333]

GREAT episode! I enjoyed hearing Jason's story, and I always enjoy Howie and Jackelyn. One of my favorite podcasts.

[@CatStanleySpaceDemon]

Awesome. Best episode yet. Love Seinfeld, George Costanza. Heard many interviews with Jason and this is the best!

[@A2Z83]

always makes me happy when jason suddenly appears on a show I like

[@tRiNiTi]

Jason Alexander IS for me why the Seinfeld show was so successful ! Yes Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David wrote the show and thé funny dialogues, but Boy Can Jason Alexander act ! Georges Costanza was the best character in every thing

[@AdultsOnlyMagic]

The update at the very end made me choke on coffee 😂 Love ya Howie!

[@rwilson7197]

I am a woman & was in that non-tv -watching demographic Jason is talkng about. I did not discover Seinfeld till 1995 when it was water cooler talk at work. Seinfeld became one of the few shows I watched. ❤ Great show here- lots of fun to catch up with Jason Alexander!❤

[@mattH3ew]

Oh no! I’m sorry it’s The Moops. The correct answer is The Moops.

[@brettrobinson2901]

Its the Moors ! ...you idiot!..there are no Moops!...its a misprint!😫

[@mistyfreeze2973]

"George" is my personal favorite character on Seinfeld. I watch Seinfeld on Netflix just about everyday. Also Jason Alexander is a great follow on social media!

[@kendallandrews8691]

George was the Greatest womanizer in television history

[@benf1111]

Same. It's funny to me that Seinfeld is my least favorite character on Seinfeld.

[@matt75hooper]

I have a wacky sense of humor. I could sit through 50 comedies & not even smile. But that Kramer had me howling.

[@joycampi7233]

I watch every night on Netflix!

[@Margarita-j6j1w]

Jerry’s secret about Seinfeld’s ending was in regards to the last show of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It was pretty good.

[@largepimping]

The writing on several seasons of Seinfeld was obviously a big factour in the show's success, but without this man's acting, it would have NEVER succeeded.

[@Matthew-ve7uv]

Dunno. It was a perfect storm. Michael Richards was also just so unique. And the writing -- the success of Curb shows there's an audience without Jason. But it wouldn't have been the phenomenon without Jason -- that perfect storm is definitely in part due to this man's incredible performance

[@generaphaelian8893]

Jason Alexander is a legend! 👏

[@Jacqie_Lee]

I gotta say, my kids, 4, 8 and 10(just turned 11) LOVE Seinfeld and they LOVE George. It's so funny how he never thought it'd hit. And me? At that age? I lived Alf 😂

Howie, I rewound your mentalism bit and I think I know how you were able to do it. In fact, I found that after a few viewings, I was able to say the words that Jason (Jay?) was going to say before either of you said it. Thanks for being such a great teacher!

[@geraldinetoltschin7776]

Reporting in from Barcelona. What a FABULOUS show. Jason looks like one of the kindest people I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing the joy. I have seen all of the \SIENFIELD show at least three times, monumental humor. Howie you are also AMAZING, thanks for this show.

[@shirleyrhodes3741]

[@evanjuleen]

Wow Howie this is a hell of an interview. 💖 You asked all the right questions. I'm seeing an unfamiliar side o something I'm very familiar with. This is the best part of podcasts. Seeing things from somons else's pt of view.

[@SharkWithFreakinLaserBeam]

Wow, Howie's explanation or reason to do an autobiography was something I haven't really ever thought of before - not really for the money, but in case it happens to help people in some way or form. Then Jason's answer to that is almost equally as good.

[@canoeman1961]

Great interview. And Howie has his own Ed McMahon: someone who sits there and says nothing. Nice gig.

[@TheJeffShadowShow]

SEINFELD2 would be a blockbuster series!!

[@elizabethcarrington5819]

When Jason mentioned and showed his short, stubby fingers, I can't believe Howie missed the opportunity to say how George was almost an elite hand model...a brilliant career cut short by a tragic accident. :)

[@HowieMandel-fm3jd]

Thx

[@mosttriumphantvideos]

Jason’s story about not wanting to text Jerry is a great type of plot line bit that could be used for the reboot. They never had cell phones back then, so they could do all sorts of funny takes on modern tech, text or cell phone, internet, etc bits

[@easye5653]

When they got to the Colonoscopy conversation i just about died from Laughter! Should there be a brush, should there not be........ should we get together and make a party out of it? Is there splashing going on? 🤣🤣

Shout out to Tannen's! I didn't attend the camp, just loved going to their store on W 34th in NYC when I was kid. Got a killer Dove pan.

[@MOE-db8oc]

32:17 This statement by Jay right here is what those pushing DEI don’t get. People don’t have to literally ‘see themselves’ playing a character to buy into it, enjoy something, and be entertained. It just has to be good. Just as these folks enjoyed and were fans of Seinfeld, I was a fan and enjoyed Good Times and Sanford and Son. Even though, I wasn’t represented in these shows. They were just good and I felt something for the characters.

[@reddelicious744]

Great ep 👍

[@cliffyknight]

I didn't even think about a 6yr old not understanding the house was robbed. I'm sure I would have thought my family bailed on me. Holy crap that would've sent over the toddler top.

[@lowellmartens6135]

Jay's podcast with Kevin Pollack, Pete holmes are two I re-listen to often. Now this one will add to the rolodex. He is such a mensch!

[@wttwtg4165]

I would love to see a storyline in Seinfeld where one of the group signs up for the Blind contact thing. The direction and advice and ensuing fights would be hilarious.

[@tracydearman-g9l]

[@cindee1794]

They did that colonoscopy thing on Last Man Standing. I'm guess Tim Allen wasn't part of that party, but maybe he heard about it and thought it would make a good episode.

[@UncleBernhard]

[@elizabethlanders9805]

I'm with you Howie No guest would ever be expected to use the non existent toilet brush to clean up after themselves, thats why there is often a mess that your guests leave for you to clean up. I am the exception however, and maybe Jerry Seinfeld. That toilet brush is usually under the sink anyway.

[@CatherineAKennedy]

Jason's story is so, so important - it could help so many children who suffer trauma - they need to know that the overwhelming fear is not the end.... and then i realised that Howie interrupts his guests almost as much as Heather McDonald does - such a shame because everything Jason has to say is interesting.... the smoke is not fair to impose

[@nancypedrick5596]

One thing I'm not ashamed to say that I do just Like George is, I take off all my clothes to relieve myself in the bathroom. 🤣😂

[@Matthew-ve7uv]

Who's feelings did he hurt? I'm guessing the girl who played Susan. I always thought he was super harsh on her -- especially since her relationship with Jason was amazing. Stunted, sure, but so fucking realistic for that kind of relationship. Just truly special interactions. It's nice to see Jason a lot more laid back and humble and thoughtful than in other post-Seinfeld interviews. He was a joy to listen to here, absolutely loved his vibes and answers

[@Dumballa]

That was awesome.

[@starks1974]

They had a Series finale on Curb...it was great and doesn't need to be touched again. And I was in HS when Seinfeld came out, loved it from the start. So I guess I was part of that demo.

[@Matthew-ve7uv]

Huh? It was in season 7
