Jerry Seinfeld on the Late Late Toy Show!

ianrush

According to the RTE website:
"Final preparations are continuing for tonight's 'Late Late Toy Show' with the team behind the show allowing a sneak peek of some of this year's set - and guest line-up.

Among those who will be joining Pat Kenny on tonight's show are comic legend Jerry Seinfeld, James Blunt and the Sugababes".

Karl Hungus

Oooh! Seinfeld!

Definitely be watching it so.

I wonder if he'll be mentioning bees

odyssey06

James Blunt *and* the Sugababes? That's not a good combination... Still, it'll keep him away from any Billie Barries...

Kenny/Seinfeld will either be genius or Partridge X 100

Mie.

ianrush

I would actually bet a whole one euro that Kenny has never seen an episode of Seinfeld. Make that two euros.

Jerichoholic

Seinfeld is one of the biggest guests in the history of that show. He rarely does interviews outside Jay Leno and Letterman. I really can't believe he's going to be on the Toy Show.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Nah, he'd never go on it just to promote something. Would he?

Pat Kenny has this uncanny ability to defuse even the most interesting person and make them seem boring.

I think you might have a gambling problem.

That is so true

oooh I`m so watching this now!

I've never seen Seinfeld be anything other than a prickly, but funny, guest.

If he can do this to Larry King, then Pat Kenny tonight should be funny.

Do what to Larry King? act like an ass?

That is part of it alright, MagicMarker. Be very comfortable in creating an uncomfortable situation on live TV.

thanks for the warning, I'll be avoiding that then

Well Shaquille O'Neal has seen every single episode (I learnt that from a HBO documentary show ) so you can never be sure who's a Seinfield fan.

I wonder will Jerry bring along a jar of maple syrup that looks just like Pat. Or perhaps just a 2x4.

Hmmm, Christmas time, a new childrens movie coming out, and being a guest appearance on a toy show, all answers point to yes I bloody think so.

mmmm, have you ever seen anyone go on a chat show without having something to promote?

The Hacker

Might watch this now, big seinfeld/CYE fan here.

Morgans

Jerry Seinfield. Pat didnt make it past the first sentence.

therecklessone

That was f*cking painful.

sweetie

what a bloody waste. typical rte. seinfield (hello researchers!!!) didn't know what to do. wouldn't it be so cool if he had mentioned festivus! or given him a pez dispenser instead of a daft superman toy...

giddyup

Wow - there's a dedicated thread and deservedly so. Seinfeld on the Late Late should have been a pretty big moment - I don't think Pat even knew who he was. Seinfield - WTF. The Alan Partridge comment earlier in the thread was bang on.

Couldn't agree more. Jerry Seinfeld on the late late, what a bloody waste. Stick to interviewing X-Factor rejects Pat......

jerry seinfeld is great

i hope now that he'll also be on some bbc chat show where they do a real interview.

it's a shame he was promoting the new movie on the toy show episode otherwise there might have been a chance that they would bother to look up his name (although they probably presumed that everyone including pat would recognise one of the biggest stars in american television, if not the biggest)

Yeah, it's shíte

When I was younger I thought that Jerry Seinfeld was called Jerry Seinfield. It took me about 3.5 seconds, however, to realise I was wrong. How does Pat bloody Kenny not know his name? It's the name of the famous show that Jerry Seinfeld is in.

You just know Jerry is at home now thinking that it was clearly a p/ss take, that it wasn't a real show, that they were humouring Pat because he's clearly too ridiculous to go on tv.

Pigman II

I'm starting to suspect Plank is having us all on. That in reality he's erudite and completely clued in but in order keep a high profile he's now deliberately amplifying his unshakeable reputation as Irelands highly paid gombeen thru acts of self-sabotage.

I can see it now. Before the show he's asking himself "what can I do tonight to increase my reputation as a bunging hack, completely out of his depth on tv?". "I know! I'll kick a childs doll across the room for starters and follow that up by incorrectly mispronouncing the name of one of the most famous people in the western world. No need to follow up as most people will have turned off the tv by this point."

Job well done.

Jerry Seinfeld on the Late Late toy show. I got the distinct impression that Pat didn't know who he was (at least until he was told beforehand by his researchers).

Another classic RTE moment.:D

I only caught a small bit of the toy show but I saw him kick the toy baby up the hole. The little girl looked fit to murder him on the spot. She was giving him the evil eye afterwards and everything.:D

I have always known that Pat was a plank and just left it at that, but last night made me cringe! As discussed the Seinfield mistake was unbelievable.

But handing him a plastic Superman was even more so, Jerry made €60 million last year from doing nothing. He owns one of the most impressive private Superman collections in the world yet Pat hands him a cheap plastic Superman from Toymaster!!!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

that's larry king though, he always asks the most stupid questions

Tiriel

It was said earlier in the thread that Pat could make anyone boring.. and he succeeded. It's a pity! but I really hoped that Jerry would have spiced it up a bit - he was fine as a bee - it was in person Pat just couldn't deal with it!! So lesson for Pat - stick to Bees!

The Chessplayer

Ah lads, why wasn't I told seinfeld was on the late late - I didn't even go out on friday night! Jerry is a legend

Blisterman

Anyone have a youtube link?
I really wanna see this, if only for the cringe factor.

gaizka71

looking for a link myself too, and if it is a divx even better... if you know what I mean...

Cool. I didn't know they put it online. Do you know which part Seinfeld is in?

He was on pretty early so I'd say Part 1

Sabre Man

I'd say about 20-25 minutes into the show.

Pretty disappointing though.

Tha Gopher

Eh, wtf.

That was a perfectly normal interview. He mispronounced one part of his name, and unless I had been told I wouldnt have noticed. Being the toy show, Seinfeld might expect to get, I dunno, some sort of toy maybe?

Cant believe anyone cares. Seinfeld was sh1te anyway from what Ive been told.

That really has to be the dumbest statement I have EVER read on boards!!!

Why dont you watch it and give us your opinion???

And if you cant believe anyone cares why did you post???

While I am here, I enjoyed Jerry on Jonathan Ross, there was a bit of a love/hate relationship going on. But to be fair to Ross he was up to the challenge!

Do you go to the cinema to see a film your mate saw 4 days ago and said was crap?

As for why I posted, seems to be more anti Pat for being Pat rather than anything wrong with the interview. The part with the bee costume was a bit poor, but Seinfeld is the comedian in the part, so Id assume he came up with it. People were honestly expecting Pat to sit Seinfeld down and talk at length about a 90s comedy and his stand up career on a tv show aimed at a load of kids? Gerrofit.

Drag00n79

It's 20.47 into the first part. I don't think Pat knew who he was. He called him "Jerry Seinfield".

Actually yes. Its called having your own opinion!

I like to be informed about topics I am talking about, again unlike you who once your mate has told you what you think your willing to make such statements as in your post!

it doesn't cost to watch an episode on any of the three or four channels currently showing it and form your own opinion. Your friend is a will and grace fan, right?

Relive the magic moment.

lostexpectation

see someone put in a detailed description of the event on his wikipedia page, (it wont last long), and then has quote about him saying, it was 'highly perplexing' although I cant find that quote anywhere else.
