Of all the things one might associate with Jerry Seinfeld, passionate sentimentality may be the last. But recalling the day he shot the recent finale. Curb your enthusiasm, His voice comes dangerously near swelling. “When I went home that night, my scalp was just burning. I thought it was the best, wildest, most remarkable thing we’d ever done,” he says of his amazement (although his overestimation) says about appearance. It was, he says, the callback to finish all callbacks, a comedian’s dream. “What you have is a joke that was set up 25 years ago and then played out 25 years later! How do you explain something like that?”
“It was a lot of fun,” says Larry David, who admits he once swore that he would never attempt to do anything like the original – Seinfeld: The finale. “What changed was that we started with this premise of Larry getting arrested for handing someone water in line to vote and it was like, ‘Where are we going to take this thing?’ That when (executive producer and director) Jeff Shafer had the idea. I said, ‘Okay, sure, let’s do the same horrible thing again.’ People hate it! Jerry liked the idea. He was playing right away.
“We all got really excited: ‘Let’s discuss the final. The finale!” Seinfeld said of the scene’s final line. “It was absolutely one of the highlights of my professional life.” After slight encouragement, David also admits to feeling of closure and relief.
On this vibrant day, Seinfeld sits in a conference room high above Manhattan, the view stretching out toward the Upper West Side, a website over which Seinfeld stays the undisputed master, should you will. The callback just made a finer point about how strongly ingrained in the culture it iss. Seinfeld, the show, continues to be a guest who checked out 1 / 4 of a century ago, but never actually left the premises. Of course, the version of New York he made famous is long gone, as the Nineteen Sixties lost a world during which his latest film, Unfrosted, is based. Seinfeld is philosophical about it. “All the world is lost. It’s all lost,” he says. “What you remember is gone. Forget it. One of the great follies of men is to think that it is.”
However, some things remain the same. For example, breakfast.
