Jerry Seinfeld Teases Possible SEINFELD Reunion
By Movieguide® Contributor
At a recent stand-up set, comedian Jerry Seinfeld hinted that his legendary sitcom SEINFELD could return.
During the Q&A portion of the show, a fan of the sitcom asked Seinfeld if he was happy with the show’s ending.
“Well, I have a little secret for you about the ending,” Seinfeld teased. “But I can’t really tell it, because it is a secret. Here’s what I’ll tell you. OK? But you can’t tell anybody. Something is going to happen that has to do with the ending. Hasn’t happened yet. And just what you are thinking about, Larry and I have also been thinking about it. So, you’ll see.”
SEINFELD ran from 1989 to 1998 and concluded with a now infamous episode that saw the four main characters going to jail after mocking a carjacking victim rather than helping him. The episode included many cameos from past guests.
The episode was met with widespread disdain as it left many fans unhappy with the ending.
In 2014, Seinfeld explained that the episode “was a way to thank all the people who worked on the show over the years that we thought made the show work. I don’t believe in trying to change the past, but I’m very happy with it.”
However, his opinion about the episode was different in 2017 when he told Vulture, “I sometimes think we really shouldn’t have even done it,” adding, “there was a lot of pressure on us at that time to do one big last show, but big is always bad in comedy.”
Movieguide® previously reported on Seinfeld:
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld says modern, politically correct culture ruins sitcoms.
“When we did my show in the 90s, it was so easy to make fun of things. It was so easy,” Seinfeld told Amy Schumer.
“You just knew what to do,” Seinfeld continued. “You know the angle you’re going to take and you know it’s going to be fresh and it’s going to be funny.”
SEINFELD, one of the most popular comedies in the 1990s, poked fun at nearly everything people today find offensive – politics, religion, race, gender, romance, and homosexuality, among other topics.
“You know exactly where their head is at,” Seinfeld said of older sitcoms. “We don’t know where anybody’s head is at now. In terms of 300 million people. Where’s their head at?”
