Seinfeld: Roundtable

that's this guy to let me in come on it's the driver's responsibility put on your signal and move in like a man you don't ask permission ready to go to Paris all set Wow I was very worried when the show got successful in the budget did expand they said you could spend whatever you wanted that the comedy was gonna suffer I always thought cheap and comedy are good together hmm but somehow it didn't hurt us I don't think it made a difference killed me because your craft service budget became unlimited remember the guys and yet craft service was always the same thing no no no don't know when that guy Billy came in Billy yeah catered meals three times a day prior to that I just remember Suzy Greenberg saying to you we can you can spend whatever you want you said you got to be kidding me this is all-you-can-eat Cafe and then and it was like there's a plate of carrots and there are some olives over there and that was pretty much what wine definitely I was it for like eight years I send them that's what we referred to it from then on the all-you-can-eat cafe is what we prefer crap service it essentially looked like this table with the things of water the budget was really there for all the exterior work we were doing yeah that's why we really started to burn they built us that straight that was when things were shot let's go over to Universal wrote me in a water tank and set that up for half a day buddy it's my winter coat you're gonna wear this all the time all sides Porter yes I find on the flip side I'll tell off the speaker I'm a recovering germaphobe ten years yeah that's right Jennifer does that's right you stole my Jesus fish yeah but the high five is just so stupid oh yeah I'll tell you what's stupid you stupid yeah you laying on a breakup patty it's Elaine we're through Elaine be reasonable you're spending the night work in the cuddle great performance he was just talking the other day when we did the commentary about he was so blown away to have done the show and then three seasons later he comes back right to make a significant run right he said it was just such a gift he is so fantastic and his energy was such a great foil against actually all of us you know that because everything was so pitched and he was so yeah and this too you know that that way is squinting into the distance acquitting unseen object I remember we were shooting outside somewhere on New York Street yeah and I was about maybe four months pregnant with Charlie you know not really pregnant yet just fat and you came up to me and you said hey listen we got an idea of how to play this out this season what if Elaine just gets fat and I just burst into tears Cheers yeah burst yeah disbursing no kidding me yeah so that so anyway we didn't you know what it's a really good idea but you know is a good a great idea I know yeah cooler head should have prevailed but at that moment I was a lot of hormones that was that was hard to hear yeah was that what to talk into that you would have you might have but it would have taken a few lunches um light lunches right no not in my case that must be interesting when if your kids watch the show and see those shows when you put yeah yeah and I say oh look Charlie that's you in my tummy or that's Henry yeah yeah but you were able to do some really physical stuff even though you were still yeah you remember when we were doing that fighting thing and you say duh can't you to see you love each other right get your finger out of my face you get your side up it's your first I don't I don't you to see that you're in love with each other I remember feeling that the first time cuz when you get pregnant you're it's harder to get catch a breath you know you get and I remember we were doing all of that and I was like wow that's harder to do now should I pick up do you want me to get that get it who are you don't wory Seinfeld I cut velvet for 40 years with Harry alban 1946 i went to work for harry Fleming and I came up with the idea for the beltless trenchcoat these haven't been made in 20 years why would they nobody bought the men my stories are what sell these clothes cheap fabric and dim lighting that's how you move merchandise you are making out during Schindler's List my urine don't keep cookies for breakfast who eats dinner at 4:30 by the time you sit down that'll be quarter to 5:00 oh good funny Martin well that was bad was a godsend to that he's really a weave man never acted in his life til he was 50 years old yesterday right he was in new york city cop and he was in the producers the film of the producers yep he was very funny an art there all right there was a big move for him right and he was Jackie Gleason standing and the honeymooners oh I didn't know that he was he would rehearse no kisses Gleason would never rehearse Wow and Liz was fantastic James Dean's experiment that's right they fit together nicely to do them very what uh you know else I really loved the Lloyd Bridges did a couple of shot what a great man justic Jim why he was he funny and sweet loving funny do you think you I'm one dad you think that you are the number one dad this was a gift for my son oh I see how it was now he knocks me out of commission so you can strut around in your fancy number one shirt I was after me it was Lloyd Bridges yeah I wasn't there for him you weren't there for Louise now uh sorry here's here's a lovely man I'm sorry what do you want I want a decent sock that's comfortable doesn't strain on my foot it's not top of the muffin tell you no no it is Oh God chief beekeeper was this horrible hag of a woman with no teeth to a giant would she called a nose he's back on the horse Elaine smack white palace the Chinaman's nightcap there's no human fund those donation cards were fake what's the matter with you this the third time I've had to repeat myself I don't want you to think that item was gonna treat you any differently just because if you're up a handicap it also like a welcome back into the folder a little shrimpy friend George Costanza who hello he he really didn't have a very good year how you blew that McConnell deal I'll never know but they what the hell huh we've always enjoyed his antics around the office I think I want to add to this drink up it's come to my attention that you and the cleaning woman have engaged in sexual intercourse on the desk in your office is that correct was that wrong that was hard to get through is that wrong yes I not have done it Richard fancy Eve he really seemed like he worked at that company yeah he's an amazing actor yeah and years before Seinfeld I did a pilot for NBC that was a spinoff from Family Ties called the art of being Nick and he was in it essentially as an as an extra and we didn't know each other but we can he came up with a bit that we did that ended up in the pilot that was actually really funny and then he shows up and he's the boss it was such a treat to see him really talented guy Peterman Peterman when I was wonderfully not afraid yes young boy did he'd get everything out of every word oh yeah with his own funky take on it but it was a great character I mean if you like those cat we got the character from from the catalog right by the way do you know that John O'Hurley has bought into the Peterman catalog now he's part owner of it isn't that weird that is weird how about this shows it's okay Jerry he's a guy Blanc hmm you don't know the first thing about first base just even smell I know people and I have a very good feeling about you if you bring it up again I'll feed your genitals to a wolf all avoid the pain train I'm not sorry I was never sorry it was cashmere I hate stop nein you promised a kid in the hospital I'd hit two homeruns I've won the World Series six games I missed that cheater episode you're that wasn't your ID now wasn't there that you would have been ashamed to me I was so I knew so little and continue to nurse a little about sports they showed up a couple weeks after winning the series and I didn't know which was which um excuse me hi could you tell me what kind of office is well they just passed it last year huh that's modeled after the French law I heard about it after Princess Diana was killed and all those photographers were just standing around yeah you're the first ones to be arrested on it probably in the whole country haha let's talk about how that finale was received and I think one of the things that people had a problem is it didn't feel like the show because it wasn't small yes big right and we didn't really do big right you know small was really our our instrument that we played and that might have been Wyatt the people that were so used to the show and liked it so much felt a little this doesn't fit in but it was the finale you know exactly it should have been different I also don't know what any human being could have written that would have lived up right to the hype and the expectations people have going on in their own I mean it for every other on mossad nobody's thinking about what's the show gonna be about this week they just turn it on and watch it right but for finale oh my god it's just a little series finale they all have their little ideas of what should happen right and and your show isn't gonna be better than the one that they had in their head right and what could be more fun than seeing everybody that we had seen over those nine years yeah I'm back right through our lives through this you know the only possible venue that they could was this crazy trial if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't have kept it so secret like what what it was about well not what difference does that make well I just think that hiding the hide yeah right there's expectations yeah although I think that's unavoidable I mean how many people ultimately tuned in to watch it something crazy like 70 million or something like that you couldn't avoid it and we didn't die looking an envelope so yeah the four of us are in a jail cell yep that's a closure that's ultimately what everybody was tuning into we were talking about if we did one more scene you know it would be a coffee-shop scene of them getting out of prison and they'd get in the booth before them and the first line would be that was brutal he's all tatted up you know we could have kept going obviously we were the number one show on television and I always wanted to ask you actually if you were as convinced were you completely convinced at that moment that we were doing the right thing you know when we go through this stuff and the feelings come up again you go well maybe we should but at the time it seemed it not only seemed artistically right it seemed right for where we all were in our lives at that moment we've done this and it's not gonna get better than this we can sustain it but it's not gonna get better and I think you're right that's a good indication of maybe that's the time I was open to going ahead right but when I heard that I go that's first time I've ever heard that kind of thinking we can't get any better it was pretty hard for me to do the show that way I mean I was struggling you know you had nine years of no break he the show was cake for us we knew the characters the show was easy you as far as I can remember never had a break night so we'd finished shooting one you'd have the next one to prep and then when we went into our summer hiatus you guys were figuring out what the next 23 hours per night but you know if I if I had been doing that for nine years I think I would have felt pretty burned out I was pretty convinced that it was the right thing to do in that moment although I will say about a month later when we were getting ready to wind down I thought oh yeah oh really what are we thinking this became more and more clear sort of what we were let's say and goodbye to you know that was some that was that was a hard thing to do yeah it was very clear this extraordinary event and the power of it and the magic of it and what it has done in the world that's once-in-a-lifetime you know you're never gonna see this again and I was very aware of that the thing I felt most strongly is that the show deserved a potent finish mm-hmm you know not a notch on wait yeah that would not have suited it because it had just because it had reached so many high levels that you had to you had to go for something that was a little distinctive you know it was a weird thing to do you know number one television shows don't go off the air I remember when we were shooting the finale and remember they had to block out in front of the stage because our stage was very close to the gate and so there was all sorts of reporters and paparazzi sort of staked out and I was like wow I couldn't believe people cared that much to be staking out on the sidewalk you know because when you're doing it it was just us doing it it wasn't you're not thinking about the ripple effect the mark you're gonna make you're just doing the show you know that's why I say where its biggest fans all right you know it always felt like our little show right yeah at the garage man yeah Wow it's only a year that's not so bad we'll be out in a year and then we'll be back could be fun don't have to worry about your meals or what you're gonna do Saturday nights and they do shows yeah we we could put on a show maybe Bye Bye Birdie or my fair lady yeah Elaine you could be Liza Doolittle why don't you just blow it out you'll get see that to me that button is in the worst possible spot really oh yeah the second button is the key button it literally makes or breaks the shirt look at it it's too high it's a no-man's land don't we had this conversation before you think I think we have yeah you

This is a great video, I had never seen it before. Thanks for posting. It led me to another great one on YouTube called "How It Began", which is a documentary about how Seinfeld started. You'll find it in the related videos section if you watch this one. Great stuff.

Patrick Warburton (David Puddy) is so wonderful. Here he is in an M&M's commercial doing his signature act.

Great Video. I'm still bummed that this show stopped but I guess I always have the past shows to watch. Thanks for the upload.

WHAT? This exists?? Is this from the DVD?
