Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher (1993-07-25)

Air Date: July 25th, 1993
Panelists: Jerry Seinfeld, Larry Miller, Robin Quivers & Ed Rollins

[@mattb.4333]

Jerry's bit on helmets is pretty genius. Comedians are so interesting because they see the world just slightly different than everyone else and can offer some great insight, perspective, and humor in what we all seem to overlook.

[@chalinofalcone871]

I was kinda awestruck as he delivered it. Very insightful chunk of reality. In my opinion.

[@chasedwards9626]

It’s one of his written bits from his act that came up naturally.

No, they were. Cost of living was easier, political subjects easier, life easier. Plus my view is life was simpler thus I can say it was simpler. If your view is its the same then that's your view.

[@scottschreiber7528]

I believe this is the VERY FIRST episode (which aired on Comedy Central). Because I know that Robin Quivers was on the very show, and I believe that was her only appearance. I'm a big Howard Stern fan & remember it coming up on Howard's show over the years. In fact, I think I even remember them plugging her appearance, prior to it's original airing.

[@wesleysmith5275]

yes, it definitely is

I agree with you too. People don't want to see loud black women stating opinions.

Robin had thousands (millions maybe) of fans from Howard Stern and her signature laugh was a big part of the reason.

I like Jerry’s line “you shouldn’t have been going so fast!” Implying the bald guy had went so fast on his motorcycle his hair came off.

[@kenhenderson1762]

Jerry and Bill were (and are) longtime pals from their days at the Comedy Store (with Jay Leno). That's why Jerry agreed to come on the pilot episode of PI. But when the show evolved into guests espousing their political opinions Seinfeld declined to appear again. They're still friends, Maher even appeared on "Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee".

[@a.graham7979]

Yes, this was the pilot so this panel was pretty stacked for 1993, especially for Comedy Central. The show was filmed in NYC back then, and the Howard Stern show had a massive audience, so having Robin Quivers on the first episode was a smart move to get free plugs on the Stern show for that audience to tune in.

[@chrissscottt]

Funny thing is Bill and Jerry and co haven't changed at all. Was impressed by the wit of the old bald guy who's probably dead by now.

[@savage_skirt5386]

carryover from the 80's. Jerry is 39 and Bill is 37. Most of the young guys had ditched this look by then. Also they are more mullet-esque, rather than true mullets. For a real mullet, see Billy Ray Cycrus video for Achy Breaky Heart (1992).

I don't like how Seinfeld on all these interview shows during the Senfeld years is simply parroting back bits from the show whenever he wants to make a point about anything. It seems sad in hindsight this is all that he could muster beyond the show.

[@JesseColton]

He still does that. His entire life is pretty much involved with that show, outside of it he's not very witty or entertaining. Hell, even on the show he wasn't very witty or entertaining, and he had a team of dozens of writers.

[@Fersomling]

Well, he's left-handed, and that's good enough for me.

[@peanutgallery7753]

***** George however, George was great. And through him we see who the true talent behind the show was, Larry David.

[@JesseColton]

Except even Larry David's writing was bad. The first two seasons of Seinfeld are almost unwatchable they're so bad.

[@peanutgallery7753]

***** No ... The first two seasons are fine. They're just finding their own. I'd say the 3, 4, and 5 seasons are the best. After that they had two many different writers and the character got played out. Still good. Even Jerry here was pretty good. He did one little bit that was in his act, other than that he was quick and witty. And I still think Larry was the king. Just look at curb. If you don't like curb then ... I have no more to say to you. Except, what do you like? I'd be interested. Serious : )
