Jerry Seinfeld Defends Wife's Healthy Cookbook, Does McDonald's Ads

Seinfeld is a total ass. He was a jerk on Letterman and I understand he was always a jerk.
He rode the coattails of talented people on his show and kept the lions share of the money.
He is not funny and his wife obviously stole the cookbook idea.
He also seems to be a closet scientologist, and that cult is notorious for its insanity, inhumanity and arrogance.
I hope people realize that he deserves no more of their money.

When I saw the interview on Letterman, I was speechless. It was like watching Jerry Seinfeld peel a mask off and having Jeffrey Dahmer pop out. Calling that woman a "Wacko" numerous times was astounding. It was definitely a Michael Richards moment. Considering the alleged "Wacko's" book came out 6 months before his wife's, who's more likely to be the liar? A woman that has been a nutritionist and a chef for years or a woman with a proven track record for lying? You have to be an amazing liar to pull of the coup of ditching your husband within a month of marriage. I understand that he was trying to defend his wife's honor, but she lost that honor years ago when she decided to better-deal her first husband and start an affair within a month of her marriage.

A friend of mine works at a business frequented by stars. To them, an "A lister" is determined by how they treat the staff. Seinfeld is NOT an A-lister. By all counts, he's a dick and pretty much very George-like. Ironically, Jason Alexander is reputed to be one of the nicest guys around.

How much is enough for these folks. Jerry and his wife must be worth a quarter billion, and this guys keeps shamelessly shilling for any corp. that will pad his fortune.
We live in a world where the vast majority of resources go to the superfluous and peripheral, while 50 million can't get health care and another 50-75 million are on the brink of bankruptcy if they have a serious illness.
We are in the last throws of "high, late, capitalism", and this Seinfeld character exemplified this age of extreme mediocrity.

grimm asks, "What's with all the hate for a comedian? Did the guy kill somebody?...."

Yes. He promoted McDonald's, which is in the business of marketing products that kill people.

This is about... nothing.

Let's get real, Jessica Seinfeld married Jerry because of his money and fame. And if she were not Mrs. Jerry Seinfeld she would not have been on Oprah to promote her crappy book. And does anyone really believe she actually cooks for her kids?

Most of the postings here remind me of precisely why I think the demise of the human species might not be such a regrettable thing. Look at the cruelty, the hatred, the anger, and the ignorance here. Your words condemn you as a species.

Jerr, call me.

Get a life. The guy's a hoot. On NPR he quoted Lenny Bruce by saying, about himself, "we're all just schmucks". We need more Seinfelds and less Mahers.

What's with all the hate for a comedian? Did the guy kill somebody? Is he a racist? A warmonger?

He's rich from a very successful television show that he had a large part in creating. He made a cartoon. His wife wrote or co-wrote a cookbook.

Promoting a movie costs a fortune, even for him. So McDonalds is on board to push the flick. Big McDeal.

He's on all the shows pushing the movie. So what? He's a household name and any talk show is happy to have him on.

He doesn't need the dough and neither does his wife. It's something to do. I'd love to be wealthy enough to indulge in those sorts of pet projects.

The guy makes me laugh. With all the crap going on in the USA right now I'm grateful for it.

If another writer attempted to plagiarize lines from "Seinfeld," you can be sure there'd be 100 lawyers lined up to sue.

But when the gold-digging wife does it, it's okay? Shameful. Even worse: Not Funny.

As usual a celeb shills for the big money, no news here.

Consider his show: Self-absorbed, selfish, uncareing, hurtful people.
Life imitates art...

I just can't believe that Jerry eats at McDonald's. I saw a show on the McDonald's Corp. which featured a segment on their opening of stores in China. I thought "How can the Chinese eat that crap?". Then I realized that we eat it here.

JERRY S JUST WENT FROM 'FIRST' TO LAST ON MY CELEB-COMEDY FAV.
THE LETTERMAN SHOW HAS JERRY SHAMELESSLY PROMOTING (IT LOOKS TO SUCK BIG TIME)HIS 'BEE' ANIMATION,AND THEN i SEE THE ADS BY MC DONALDS-TEAMING UP WITH THE MOVIE,SELLING MORE OF AMERICA'S FAT-OBESE-DIABETIC-OUT OF SHAPE KIDS-CUSTOMERS OF MC GREASE BURGERS,THE POISON JUNK FOODS OF EVIL COR-PIRATE GIANTS,FINALY LAYING OFF 'TRANS-FATS',BUT IT'S STILL CRAP FOOD.

THE REAL TALENT STRUGGLING TO BRING THEIR CONCEPTS TO THE PUBLIC,AND THEN THE WIFE'S....QUESTIONABLE 'PLAGURISN? lOOKS LIKE I WILL NOT WATCH 'SEINFIELD' ANYMORE,AS JERRY JUST BLEW IT BIG TIME.

Let's assume a ghostwriter helped Jessica Seinfeld create her cookbook. Perhaps the ghostwriter saw Missy Lampine's cookbook which was published six months ago before creating and writing Jessica's cookbook.
If there IS plaguerism....blame the ghostwriter! All celebrities and psuedo-celebrities use ghostwriters, whether they're writing autobiographies or cookbooks.
And certainly Jessica Seinfeld doesn't want to admit she had the help of a ghostwriter!

I thought his interview was really offensive. I would suggest that he stop talking about his wife and her book immediately because he is only making it worse.

He used that show as an opportunity to bash some woman and her reputation by making jokes about her book and implying she is a serial killer which obviously was meant to be funny but failed miserably. He is materialistic person who cares more about his gaudy, ostentatious home in the Hamptons and his expensive car collection who is angry because his brilliant plan to get publicity for his movie by having his wife write a book isn't working.Most people understand why that woman who wrote the other book is upset but he has to insult her by claiming people have been "mashing vegetables for hundreds of years" yet his wife conveniently, out of all the millions of recipies for "mashing vegetables" just happened by coincidence to use almost the exact same recipe as an author who submited her book to the same publisher. What a strange coincidence.

The problem with him is that he simply isn't funny without the help of a supporting cast and good writers who provide him with material. Also if anyone looks closely at that interview, it seems Letterman was also uncomfortable when he made the serial killer joke and tried to change the subject.
