AceShowbiz - 70-year-old comedian and co-creator of the sitcom "Seinfeld", Jerry Seinfeld, called into a New York sports radio show hosted by Paul Rosenberg after hearing Rosenberg's criticism of the series. Rosenberg had said there were only "a few good Seinfeld episodes."
Seinfeld, surprisingly, responded on air, saying, "I'm not arrogant enough to think that everybody should like what I do. I just wanted you to know it doesn't bother me."
Despite his initial leniency, Rosenberg reaffirmed his stance, stating that "Seinfeld" was "not his cup of tea" and that he didn't find it particularly humorous. However, he acknowledged the show's success, saying, "Clearly the show was incredibly successful. In my opinion, it's just not my taste."
Seinfeld, known for his sharp wit, responded to Rosenberg's critique by comparing "Seinfeld" to the New York Giants football team, saying, "We made three good ones. We're like the Giants, you know? We're 3-177. That's our record."
Despite his differences with Rosenberg, Seinfeld shared a common interest with him, their love for the New York Mets. "Hopefully the Mets win a World Series soon," Rosenberg said. "That's something me and Jerry do share, as the diehard Mets fans that we are."
"Seinfeld," which ran from 1989 to 1998, is considered one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. It starred Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards and received numerous awards throughout its run, including multiple Emmys and Golden Globes.
