He’s gonna need the love because he’s not gonna get it from the public.” 'Cause you have no f-ing act."Įverett, whose special Goldthwait directed, protested that she loved Bobcat but that did not seem to matter to Seinfeld, who ranted, ”You can love him. That’s why he had to do that stupid f-ing voice. 'Cause in comedy, nobody gives a f- if you’re cool, if you’re lame. Seinfeld said of Bobcat, “He used to rail against me 'cause they weren’t as wild and dangerous as he was. I don’t need much any more reasons to dislike Jerry Seinfeld as a person but I got some when Seinfeld inexplicably used comedian and actress Bridget Everett’s appearance on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee to unload on Bobcat Goldthwait for criticizing Seinfeld for infamously dating a teenager back in the day and having such a vast personal fortune from Seinfeld that he could treat returning to stand-up as a rich man’s fancy rather than an artist returning to his art. I hear good things about Comedians but everything I’ve seen written about it makes it seem like a more accurate title would be Rich, Famous Narcissists Enjoying Their Fame, Privilege.

Other comedians took notice and soon everyone was asking what the deal was, leading to the creation of what is today known as “observational comedy” Even as a young man, he was unafraid to ask “what the deal” was with various things, from airline food to answering machines. ![]() Before Seinfeld, comedians were afraid to ask questions onstage for fear of offending people. ![]() During his prime as a stand-up comedian he was similarly one of the all-time bests and similarly influential. With Seinfeld, Jerry Seinfeld co-created and starred in one of the greatest, funniest, most influential and re-watchable programs in television history.
