Has it really been 12 years since the finale of ‘Seinfeld’? That was rhetorical by the way because yes it’s been 12 years. But Jerry Seinfeld returns to television this Sunday on ‘the Marriage Ref‘, where, “disputes between real-life couples are revealed, examined, and judged … audiences will be able to look at these fights, analyze them and declare a winner.” The show is filled with comedians so it should be funny, but also exciting, because the loser is fed to a giant snake.
Conan O’Brien has had practice at this sort of thing because NBC tried to replace him with Greg Kinnear when he first took over ‘Late Night’ after David Letterman moved to CBS, but that’s probably little consolation as they scheme to replace him again, this time with Jerry Seinfeld. Popeater says…
With Conan O’Brien ratings slipping faster than Tiger Woods’ endorsement appeal, TV executives are telling me that informal discussions have started to occur within 30 Rock as to who would be the home-run replacement for the hysterical but sagging redhead. The name on everyone’s wish list? Jerry Seinfeld.
“NBC just can’t carry on like this. ‘The Tonight Show’ has lost 52 percent of its viewership in just one year. The November ratings will be the show’s lowest in 15 years. They would be idiots to not be having the replacement conversation,” a source tells me.
Aren’t these the same people who fired Leno when he was in first place? And then put him on at 10, on a show that is in last place by a mile every single night, thus giving Conan no lead in? Shouldn’t they be the ones who get fired? The shows on NBC couldn’t be any worse unless they got the girl from ‘the Ring’ to crawl out of the screen and kill the viewers.
Remember Shoshanna Lonstein? There’s no reason you should but if you do you know she became famous in 1993 when she started dating Jerry Seinfeld. Which was a big deal at the time because she was 17 and he was 38. They stayed together for four years and after that he married Jessica Sklar and she married some billionaires kid. The point to all this is of course titties. Awesome ones. Because Shoshanna was in Miami earlier this week and was nice enough to strip down to a kick ass bikini. These aren’t the greatest pictures of her face (a more flattering one here) so I recommend you just stare at her body. I know I seem obsessed with big tits lately, but that’s always been a problem of mine. I care too much. I’m too passionate. Also, I’m in love with being in love.
Microsoft paid Jerry Seinfeld 10 million dollars to appear in their new ads but now after only two commercials, the wholly unpleasant campaign starring Seinfeld and Bill Gates is being taken off the air. Valleywag says…
In a phone call, Waggener Edstrom flack Frank Shaw confirms that Microsoft is not going on with Seinfeld, and echoes his underlings' spin that the move was planned. There is the "potential to do other things" with Seinfeld, which Shaw says is still "possible." He adds: "People would have been happier if everyone loved the ads, but this was not unexpected."
Honestly, who in the fuck thought Jerry Seinnfeld should be the choice to make a company seem more hip and in-touch. And then put him in ads with Bill Gates. Every god damn second of these things was just awkward and uncomfortable, like watching your parents make out.
