Jerry Seinfeld on the Dan Patrick Show (Full Interview) 1/30/14

[@September2004]

9:30 You see the way Seinfeld looks at that video, you can feel the decades of experience in comedy in his brain working on it.

[@lanzelot1989]

I think he may be just short-sighted a bit

Thank you! Somebody had to say it.

[@MrPSzebra]

What's amazing about this is that Jerry is a legend and many would say the same of Brian Regan. Brian Regan gave that guy on the staff the exact opposite advice on timing. Both comedians are geniuses and they gave opposite advice. Goes to show how much of comedy is art, which makes it highly subjective.

[@boyspodcast]

also interesting that Norm Macdonald has said comedy is really a craft because you have one task which is to cause people to make a sound - laughter

[@RandyDinwiddieInsurance]

Seinfeld is a true professional and knows how to run a business

[@vintagevinylvets1187]

Our favorite on Jerry Seinfeld’s show was the two times Alec Baldwin was on-hysterical!🎧

[@moonstars787]

I love Jerry! And the interview was different and pretty good!

[@DanLoFat]

until we heard his nonpandering, brutally honest crit.

[@daveknow]

Jerry is so right about marriage. I also got married at 45 (but it didn't last 14 years.) It was a learning experience for me

[@siriosstar4789]

the secret to marriage is " Yes " .

[@juancpgo]

Awesome studio indeed.

[@stevenygabbyperez695]

I think Dan's pauses between answers threw Jerry off a bit and actually made it more interesting for me.

[@DanLoFat]

Dan is a listener.

[@ComedyJakob]

Jerry looks like he's in pain watching that Seinfeld parody

[@DanLoFat]

his normal, brutally honest look.

[@bradlafferty6076]

Jerry filmed an episode with Robert Klein in my current village of Ossining at the Landmark Diner, which just burned down last month. That was no joke.

[@citizenghosttown]

That is sad about the Landmark Diner. What I love about that episode is that they go INTO the diner and each of them are drinking a Starbucks coffee -- which kind of defeats the purpose of going to a diner for coffee but it's also kind of funny.

[@dafcorleone]

I say this all the time im not a fan of his standups but i do love his interviews

[@cecilrichardanderson]

You say this all the time?

Why is this video so clear it's crazy

unless u set your playback for best bandwidth, mine was 480. changed it to 720p60fps, yep, damn sweet.

If only the audio level could reach such height!

[@lobitopr]

A lot of natural light too.

[@seinfeldfan442]

Great tips from jerry in this interview about how to execute comedy

[@moonstars787]

"Maybe" I love Jerry!

[@scarbourgeoisie]

It takes the average guy ten years to figure out "what this is" (i.e. marriage), and then you have to change and stop doing the things you shouldn't do in order to be the guy your wife wants you to be. Holy shit, never have truer words been spoken.

[@peterlucier1813]

There’s a moment where the guy is like “Jerry Seinfeld is about to tell me the key to comedy I should write this down”

[@flinchless]

He’s funny naturally it’s a incredible visually

[@juanortuno565]

Seinfeld has all the right answers to the wrong problems

[@pts5217]

Jerry’s advice was great...however, you also can’t polish a turd

[@huandru]

Loud & fast!

[@MightySheep]

When you watch other interview shows you start to appreciate Howard Stern's skill more. Theres something about this set which is so sterile and uncomfortable (too open, too bright) and the questions are a bit dry and forced.

[@bobby33x97]

The greatest comedy shows that never get any respect were: 1) the original BOB NEWHART SHOW & 2) BUFFALO BILL, which was cancelled because it was incredibly Politically Incorrect (Brandon Tartikoff said cancelling BUFFALO BILL was the greatest mistake of my life!).

[@mattmcguire3410]

I think Dan was a little intimidated, and it made for an awkward interview.

[@kargelr]

800 million bucks do that.

[@thegamingpigeon3216]

I can't blame him. Seinfeld took the idea for "a show about nothing" and turned it into a billion dollar TV show that changed pop culture forever.

[@albanymike]

Every Seinfeld interview is awkward because that's what most of his comedy is based on. That's his schtick.

[@bertlee3470]

Hunter Mirr ..everyone knows it was Larry David.

[@DanLoFat]

awkward is where seinfeld lives, perfect for me.

[@jeffreyphillips7312]

make uo a new guy to please your wife? Jesus, if that doesn't say it all about marriage. Happy wife happy life, to the point we have to do everything in our power, including becoming a different person, to please her. And in return she'll complain about everything you do

[@mdougf]

love seinfeld

[@ppny48]

The reality is that the show was first done in England back around 2007 by a local comedian, Jerry probably bought the rights

[@DanLoFat]

Seton, I blame Seton for the resultant low audio on this clip. Or 2adaze? There must be a punishment.

[@patricklemire9278]

[@igolffff]

Two greats.

[@DanLoFat]

funny, the critique of the bit. Paulie nail Jerry? "Oh, that was me?"

[@pillettadoinswartsh4974]

"Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" doesn't bring up any questions? Not all the guests have been comedians. Sometimes you go out for lunch instead of coffee. Sometimes it's not a car, but a van or motorcycles.

[@DrTimWhatleyDDS]

The older I get the more I agree with Jerry - I’m really only interested in things that are funny. And sex. And the mafia. That’s really about it.

[@MrJking065]

This is the first time I have seen Jerry Seinfeld seem a little in awe of someone. And Dan must of been pretty good at asking question because Jerry did not seem irritated at the questions.And if Jerry said your comedy bit was pretty good...your comedy was pretty good.

[@APOLLO-dy8rc]

I completely disagree, I thought that Jerry was clearly amused by DP's moronic questions and the chemistry seemed completely off, you could tell that they were complete strangers even before Seinfeld mentioned that they'd never met

[@kenhasibar2450]

If you've watched enough Dan Patrick interviewing people - especially comedians, he is soo desperate for ... not attention ... but validation from his guests. He's funny and intelligent and seems like a nice guy. But goddamn he asks his guests to give him praise and compliments. His inner child is still about 14 years-old. Love the guy. He's obviously successful, so I can't give him shit. But he is successful. Every sports fan knows Dan Patrick - stop trying to suck up for some pat-on-the-back thing. You're huge Dan. You're better off without ESPN these days.

[@mitchelll3879]

Ken, not necessary to use GD..u can get ur point across without it

[@Blackmore8088]

Okay any Devin Townsend Project fans out there? Tell me he did not steal his logo idea from Dan Patrick.....

[@ripapa6355]

If Jerry was half as good as he thinks he is, he'd be an even bigger star.

[@jennhoff03]

Wow, the show really needs to fix that microphone. Jerry's great, though!

[@mikcall54]

It's like I've always said that if you tell a joke, make it under 10 seconds.

[@DanLoFat]

you have literally never said that.

[@ANTYQUE]

Loud and fast unless you're Dave Chappelle

[@Moonawrathic]

Dave Chapelle is the least funny comedian I know of.

[@DanLoFat]

but Chapelle doesn't leave air out there.

[@DanLoFat]

@@Moonawrathic why do you think that? And you never met him, so u don't know him.

[@broncobilly4029]

Jerry says in comedy, you should talk quickly. Norm MacDonald was an exception.

[@mlg4035]

Jerry wasn't being honest about the video Dan showed him...it sucked! The timing was all wrong...

[@WilbertBeltman]

Jerry's voice is kinda different then in the show but that makes sense actually haha

[@johnrwalker53]

The problem with the show is Jerry laughs way too much like everything is the most hilarious thing he ever heard. Be real Jerry!

[@johnrwalker53]

Talking about comedians with coffee.

[@tyler-pg6lm]

Why do I feel like people are purposely not understand the personality of Jerry Seinfeld??

[@DanLoFat]

you need fresher people.

[@joejoe188]

Make Jerry laugh and he is all yours! He is right, the married you around your wife n kids is a different you. When you are with your guy friends you behave more like one of the guys.

[@TJRsongs]

Dodgy frequency on Jerry's mic. Sounds like a gnat farting a glass bottle. Fun interview though

[@tehallanaz]

That's just Jerry

[@richardmckrell4899]

Good thing he met Larry David.

[@larryhardy7928]

what an insult to your wife its called being courteous to another soul

[@formermpc10]

In listing his influences he didn't mention Abbott and Costello. On Stern Jerry mentioned how they were huge. Fake.

[@HarryJoiner]

9:52 ... Note to self: LOUDER / FASTER

[@Joesfosterdogs]

disagree to the louder faster rule...Jason Alexander almost jumped shark on last few seasons of Seinfeld because he was too loud and over the top...sometimes subtlety and space is very funny...Kramer toned it down later on and was money, but earlier too clownish...Elaine was money the entire series...best actor on the show by far...

[@DanLoFat]

just because Jason was allowed to bend the rule, doesn't break the rule.

[@DanLoFat]

but the rest of the paragraph proves that you do agree with the rule because you've noted notice that Jason broke the rule and therefore was not as funny. are you going to have to prove an episode by episode basis with a timeline that Richards toned anything down that Kramer ever did.

[@ernieD]

She's so damn good on VEEP.

[@djtoona]

I realize that you may have just watched "Swingers", but Vince and his 'money' crew are so 23 years ago

[@tacobill70]

[@dirkdiggler8330]

Dont be mad at me jerry.

[@TimTheMusicMan]

Ok. It wasn’t that special. Nothing new. They reenacted a Seinfeld scene ? That’s not unique. It’s a copy of a completed scene from the show. Dan Patrick is sports ? I don’t even know who he is ? Was he a pitcher for the dodgers ? The only good part was Seinfeld’s advice.

[@HandsomeJimK]

Love DP, but this interview stank....of ALL the things Jerry Seinfeld would wanna talk about..lets bring up his show ump-teen friggin times..weak

[@ddl74]

Yeah, but you can't have Jerry on and not talk about "Seinfeld". People always want to know more about that show. Plus it wasn't the whole interview and it was sports-related.
