Victory Lap
Last week I watched Jay Leno interview Jerry Seinfeld. Other than it proving to me that you should never interview one of your friends, it showed me why Im so fascinated with Seinfeld post-TV show (of which I only saw the series finale first run).
Seinfeld did about two minutes of stand-up before he sat down with Leno. It was moderately funny and got firm applause. It reminded me of the time I was at the bar in the Four Seasons in Austin, Texas during SxSW and Billy Gibbons, just there having a drink, was coaxed into joining the house band for a song. Gibbons stood up, took a guitar and played a three-lick solo before sitting back down. He got a standing ovation.
The interview with Jay was more of a chat. Seinfeld was there to promote something hed directed starring Colin Quinn for HBO, but it was only mentioned in passing. Seinfeld really doesnt have to plug anything. He doesnt have to do anything. His job is done. All he has to do is wave as he rounds the track.
