I LOVE when people give credit where credit's due. She was so gracious about insisting that Jerry & Larry were to be given credit for what they did. This lady's awesome!

OMG, I so agree. A virtue that today receives far too little attention.

She knows not to upset Jerry and Larry. It is well known jerry is not a friendly person to non stars or writers. Jerry is a big narcissistic person.
...and she also BRILLIANTLY played the receptionist in "the delicate genius" storyline.

She is super humble. That's nice
The brilliance of the show is in the way they made each character's unique experience cross over and influence the others' experience in each episode.

I always said they took plot A, B, C, and some times plot D and slowly interwove them throughout each episode.
carol leifer is so smart and funny. remember her stand-up from way back
This is why Seinfeld was awesome. It was about so many real life experiences.
Carol Leiifer is very under rated! She is extremely funny and hardly known!
Yada yada yada… Always loved Carol’s comedy. Truly talented and hilarious lady. 🎭🃏
Love Carol’s comedy. You can see from describing the things that annoy her in real life that her brain works in a similar way to Larry David.

02:31 I love these questions that asked to break down and figuring out the mechanic of the process.
Carol is a brilliant woman with a warm heart. What a talent
I love watching these clips from The Howard Stern Show. He is probably the best interviewer ever. You can tell he loves his job and takes a real interest in the people he has on. His guests are always interesting. I love Seinfeld. I was just talking with a friend today about an episode I watched recently. And, kudos to Carol Leifer for her sense of humor and writing for Seinfeld. Good job!!!
Wow, I always wondered about the writers of Seinfeld! Awesome to have one the show! The Korean episode was solid gold and of course the Shrinkage one was legendary!
She’s lovely
She looks amazing there's no way she drinks or smokes.
Carol is the best! Super talented and super funny!!
I always loved Carol, her stand up act was completely in sync with my humor level.
So talented 🌷
That was great!!! The breakdown of the process is so fascinating.

As someone who’s ridden in an Uber or Lyft with a talkative driver, I can relate to Carol. Great episode.
She sparkles so I would’ve definitely liked to see her on screen

I love Howard but his interview of the Chilli Peppers wasnt very good. A lot of interruptions and cringe questions, for example asking Anthony if he talked about being a frontman with Kurt Cobain, lol!
Carol is wonderful.
Thankyou for sharing this 👍🏽
I love the lip reading episode-so clever!
You know what would awesome? If Stern actually let guests respond to his questions....that, would be awesome 🤨
Great writer. Funny woman
I love Howard fangirling. Its nice.
Let her talk Howard!
Howard you asked her a question let her answer
Carol Looks Just As Luscious As Ever.She Looks Great!
Rules of Engagement was a great show as well. Amazing how show didn't lose a step after Seinfeld ended.
Spectacular necklace.
she was also a judge on the Star Search reboot in the early 2000s
Wow - Carol has great Leifers
I wish we could have heard more of Carol talk and less Howard putting words in her mouth
Love it, had know idea that it worked that way.

There’s an episode of Californication where Hank works as a tv writer that covers this. That Howard doesn’t know that they pitch and it’s a collaborative process is surprising.
There needs to be a comprehensive documentary about Jerry and Larry. I know the extras on the dvd but we need a separate new doc that is long with tons of archive clips. And I especially am obsessed by their office. There is a mythological air surrounding it for me. I've seen them doing a clip for something and it was inside their office and the big desk with them at either side and stuff down the middle. That office was the focusing lense that gathered the other lazers from the other writers , like the Death Star , and shot out the mega lazer that were the for all time classic episodes of sitcom.

Simpler to set up would be a roundtable Seinfeld Writers Reunion, casual and freeranging.. similar to Conans , Simpsons Writers Reunion..
I never knew this!
Howard needs to let people speak sometimes he asks a question then talks for 2 minutes
Howard interviews very well when he wants to.
Not only did she and Jerry date for a short time, but she was the inspiration for Elaine.

Full interview available?
The real Elaine Benes

Carol looks similar to Gilda Radner
Now there’s 2comments, very interesting how thing’s come about
I just keep getting distracted by the Indiana Jones “staff of Ra headpiece” she’s wearing. Lol
Writers write about their actual life experiences. What a shocker.
I thought Mehlman wrote “shrinkage.”
“You actually owe $150” *click
I have a dog park episode I want to pitch for Curb. How do I get a sit down with Larry? It's really funny. No, I"m serious!
Howard’s insecurity always get’s in way of the interview.
Let her talk Howard. Jesus.
I wonder if Stern gave her "24 hrs notice" to do this interview
LOL
Just started watching. Waiting to see how long it takes Robin to say something condescending to someone with infinitely more talent.
BEAUTIFUL RACK
