   2 November 2007 - Jerry Seinfeld

   Jerry Seinfeld:   
   	- Seinfeld hasn't been on this stage in years; he's now married   
   and has a family.  He considers the foibles of dating and the need to   
   feign interest in someone.  And women ask insane questions of their   
   husbands.  He considers it as a game show.  He enjoys taking out the   
   garbage.  His wife hates throwing things out.  And he considers the   
   details of turning things from consumer goods to garbage.   
   	   
   	- Seinfeld thinks there's a crack in the spacetime continuum   
   that he's on the Conan O'Brien show hoping to be liked.   
   	   
   	- Seinfeld called him on the street and they had a nice   
   conversation.  What's it like for him to walk through Manhattan?  Conan   
   walks around too.  He was being carried by Lars and Unge.  Seinfeld knew   
   Conan thought he was some psycho and would change to ``oh, no, guy I   
   know'', and he liked watching the change.   
   	   
   	- It's like being in a focus group all the time: people tell you   
   they didn't like your Zantac joke last night.  Conan gets people telling   
   him why they were up at 12:30 last night.  ``Uh, I take a medication for   
   a rash.''   
   	   
   	- Seinfeld thinks Manhattan is good for comedy as irritation is   
   good for comedy and everything in New York is irritating.  For example,   
   taxi cab drivers are insane and dangerous and have funny foreign names   
   with silly letters.   
   	   
   	- Seinfeld thinks crankiness and irritability are good; he   
   doesn't like things.   
   	   
   	- 'Bee Movie' took four years, and yet it still came out like   
   this.  'The Simpsons' had a pipeline of a year or more, the opposite of   
   Late Night.  There was a joke Seinfeld had to wait four years to see; he   
   could've done better.   
   	   
   	- Seinfeld thanks Rick Ludwin, the guy who believed in the show   
   and saved it during the early years when no one watched it.  He saved   
   Late Night too.
